Could you give me some detail on what, if anything, I might command? I have some guiding terms:
Fighter– 1-person craft, adequately armed for its duties, which is mostly cannon fodder and or brute-force-thousand-guns attacks.
Fighter Command– 1-person craft that commands other fighters, most likely more prominently painted and armored.
Starscraper– Think 'Millennium Falcon' from Star Wars. Capacity at 5 people. Probably designed differently, but functions the same. Great variation occurs within these.
Lesser Frigate– Approximately 7-person crews. mostly used for cargo, but a few protective weapons.
Medi-Frigate– 10-man crews or so, used to clear areas and are the general stellar-patrol craft. Fairy armed, but hey work better in groups of three.
Greater Frigate– Usually commands about 3 frigates, and probably has a 12-man crew. More geared toward defense, but equal if not better arms than the Medi-Frigate.
Subcarrier– 100-man crews arm this vessel, used to transport fighters and work as mini space stations. Thy are generally sent to places that probably need a full carrier, but military budgets send a smaller one due to budgets.
That is probably where I should stop. These are simply my interpretations as average space stations ranks. ou most likely have different classifications. Personally, I am hoping for Lesser or Medi Frigate, as I see that as reasonable, but you are GM.
