Helping a friend figure something out for one of his alien species, a warlike antelope kind of race which lacks any culture outside of perpetual war. This is based off a pic he showed which gave it four guns sticking forward.
n'Rakkene Firestorm Interceptor
The standard fast interceptor of the alien n'Rakkene, the Firestorm is tiny, fast, and agile, relying more on speed and maneuverability than on heavy defenses. An ovoid craft, its pilot controls it in a manner similar to a Human on a sport "crotch-rocket" motorcycle.

<Phantasm> remember anything about it offhand?
<Phantasm> general size, armaments, etc?
<TFB71> Yeah. I have the original stats for it in one of my notebooks. I'll dig it up and type it out tomorrow
* Phantasm is pondering statting it up in Spaceships as a 10-ton fighter
<Phantasm> sadly, that's as small as Spaceships will let me go.
<TFB71> I do remember off-hand that the pilot pod was a 12x7x7 ovoid
<Phantasm> something makes me think the Feg-Fighter could have been done as a 3-ton craft :)
<Phantasm> what did the Firestorm have as its guns? lasers, particle beams, conventional/gauss/gravatic solid rounds, plasma, antiparticle, something else?
<TFB71> I originally wrote them up as having 4mm hyper-velocity railguns but realized the Firestorm isn't large enough to store enough ammunition, so I swapped them over to pulsed particle
<Phantasm> hmm... four guns forward. I could either do four major batteries or two improved major batteries.
<Phantasm> the latter would give room for more sensors
<TFB71> n'Rakkene are at a stagnant high TL11, if that helps
<Phantasm> how's their nanotech?
<TFB71> Restricted to soldier-boosts, limited ship infrastructure regeneration, and on-death goopification.
<TFB71> n'Rakkene never leave corpses
<Phantasm> hmm... you say "lightly armored"... one layer of advanced armor, or one layer of less advanced armor?
<Phantasm> also, shielding?
<TFB71> Two layers of advanced armor (outer is reactive the inner is ablative) over a semi-gel impact/radiation buffer, shetahing the chassis.
<TFB71> No energy shields
<Phantasm> 'k
<Phantasm> Defensive ECM at all?
<TFB71> ECM and emission limiting stealth systemsas well as signal-deflective surfaces
<Phantasm> intended propulsion hard, soft, or superscience?
<Phantasm> not much room on that thing for fuel
<Phantasm> and I'm skimping on armor on the rear to give it the most engine possible
<TFB71> Compact anni-plant with gravitic thrust
<TFB71> No on-board anti-grav
<Phantasm> didn't think so... but what about gravatic compensators?
<TFB71> Alluvial dampers? Intertia sinks?
<Phantasm> basically
<TFB71> It has some, but won't soak more than 20 Gs
<Phantasm> how many Gs do you see this thing pulling?
<Phantasm> a single super reactionless thruster will give 50Gs
<Phantasm> the next step down, 6 hot reactionless thrusters, will give 12G acceleration
<TFB71> 'Safe' limit is 30, 42 if the pilot disables the over-ride
<Phantasm> hmm... that's not gonna be easy to figure in Spaceships.
<Phantasm> I'm seeing accelerations of 1G, 2G, 50G, or 100G, but very little 10G. Also a lot of 0.1G or less
<TFB71> That's why I ignore A LOT of GURPS canon rules and customize things
<Phantasm> mind, this is abstraction
<Phantasm> stardrive on the fighter?
<TFB71> Fighters are all sublight, but a fast sublight. Max is .4c
<Phantasm> *nod*
<Phantasm> no missiles, I take it?
<TFB71> No
<TFB71> Missiles can be included if break-away hard-mounts are installed for expanded load-out, but stock configurations is guns only
<Phantasm> highly agile in atmo?
<TFB71> With gravitics, a Firestorm could dance a ballet on re-entry
<TFB71> The fighter is equipped with a 'lobotomized' AI. It has no personality, nor can it ever develop one, and is capable of only semi-autonomous operation.
<TFB71> It has set parameter that allow it to act. For everything else, it requires user input
<Phantasm> Ejection capability?
<TFB71> Nope. Its assumed that if incoming fire gets through the ablative layer, the pilot is screwed
<maxmahem> plus at the speeds it travels, ejection would probably be fatal I figure.
<TFB71> Depends on the speeds its at when breached
<TFB71> Just because max velocity is .4c doesn't mean it is always traveling at .4c
<Phantasm> Okay, final version, I managed to protect the engines.
A lot of this stuff is a bit more detailed than Spaceships covers, and some of his numbers I think were just plucked from mid-air. Did I get everything covered?
