Ships Of Gold:Commercial Starships

ADD TO WISHLIST >

STARSHIPS: Lifeblood of Trade
Starships, the life blood of interstellar commerce and communications. One of the defining characteristics of a major power is the ability to independently design, construct and operate starships. These advanced marvels of modern engineering transport goods, passengers, and information across vast distances.


In addition, the starship is the first line of defence, protecting the holdings, and interests of the powers that construct them. Without a powerful fleet, and fleets of scouts, and patrol craft a society is at the mercy of those who posses any form of armed starships.

Whether it is a simple, slow moving cargo hauler or a sleek and powerful frigate starships are complex and expensive machines. Power systems, drives, computers, and life support systems that are the leading edge of a worlds technological expertise. The Power systems and computers of a battered decades old tramp freighter are sufficient to run small cities, and coordinate an entire factory complex. This complexity, and reliability have a price, resources, time and technical skill beyond that of the average vehicle.
 

     Despite the importance, and technological sophistication the Starship seldom receives a second glance on advanced worlds, they have simply become an accepted part of life. The sophants who operate these vessels are both respected for their professional skill, and somewhat looked down on at the same time. Their skills are invaluable, however the lifestyle, and popular image of the hard drinking, drifter always on the move with no loyalties to anyone but to his ship, has been popularised in media. Drawing disdain, and suspicion from many. Like the vessels they operate the spacer sometimes is overlooked, and under appreciated by the society they make possible.

This supplement is focused on the day to day working vessel of space, neither glamourous, or fear-inspiring, they are key to maintaining far flung colonies, supplying the teeming populations of core worlds, and carrying the materials or war the warships need to operate.

A collection of Starships, Small craft hardware, NPCs, Adventure Seeds, Game use suggestions, art, and deck plans for the OGL versions of the Cephius system.

This book is astoundingly good value for money. New ship design elements. Lots of new ships from useful little small craft to 3000 dT vessels, many of then suitable for PC use. The range of ships is broad, with variations on standard types ( [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
