Spacecraft (Mecha!)

Construction
A frigate or capital ship is treated like a normal person, without normal maxima. Spaceships may have a number of schticks equal to the Head Tech's Tech/Build plus the Mecha Designer's Academics/Mecha Research. The maximum statistic is equal to the Mecha Designer's Academics/Mecha Research. This is normally in the 20-40 range, and always campaign-specific.

In a build point campaign, you may normally spend 39 points and 3 Mecha Schticks with each Schtick redeemable for 2 Attribute points. Stat-Max is 15/Schtick-Max is 30.

Frigate Scale
Frigates count as having Structure+10 when hit by Mecha Scale Weapons, and Frigate Scale weapons Damage count as Damage-10 when firing at Capital Ships.

Frigate and Capital Ship Weaponry
Use the Mecha rules with the following changes: For each schtick you spend on this you get one weapon system with a Strength requirement equal to the extra damage adds of the weapon. It is mounted unless otherwise payed for. Select whether it is kinetic- or energy-based and one of the types below:

Weaponry (Mecha!)

Frigate

 * Mecha Bay (1 Mecha per Schtick)

Capital Ship

 * Frigate Bay (1 Frigate per Schtick)
 * Mecha Bay (5 Mecha per Schtick)
