Fighter Guide/Specific Federation Tactical Craft

Combat Scales

Dedicated fans of the original versions of some of these craft will note some differences from the data they know. This is because in the course of 'tinkering,' there are disconnects and differences between versions that ignore development design history and capabilities, as well as mission profile. These versions now fit in a definable timeline and there is logical technological progression and variation based on mission.

Also, each tactical spacecraft entry is fairly self-explanatory. A word, however, is necessary regarding 'combat ratings.' Two scales are given.

The first is a number which matches the system used on the Daystrom Site (DITL), with the GALAXY class capital ship supplying the normative 'baseline,' the number 1000. Ships that are less than that are less powerful, and those that are more are more powerful. Ex: while a regular unmodified NEBULA, if memory serves, has a rating of around 1000 or so, a modified NEBULA stealth destroyer like RANGER-A had a rating of around 2000. A PROMETHEUS attack cruiser has a rating around 2400, and a SOVEREIGN has a rating of around 2900. At the other end of the spectrum, the old DEADALUS class had a rating of like 0045. You get the idea.

Now, he gets into variables that add up to the ship rating, such as maneuvering, beam power, torpedo power, hull strength, armor, etc. Frankly, we're not sure anyone uses those smaller subdivisions in simming, though we commend the level of detail (we love that site, can you tell?).

The point here is that we give each fighter a DITL rating for those interesting in the consistency of that system. We like it, because it provides for detailed comparisons instead of very general, very gross ones.

And speaking of gross, general comparisons, there's another scale to rate relative combat ability of ships: the UFOP one. We call it 'the old one.' Now, some officers love this scale because it's simple. Unfortunately, we think it's too simple, even for comparison of capital ships (saying a PROMETHEUS is a '5' essentially means she's as bad as there is, and frankly, she isn't. Just ask a Borg cube. What's a Borg cube? A really big 5? Anyway, you get the beef here).

Now, bad enough the old scale is, but when you get into shuttles, then you really have a problem. See, the old CENTRIS, for example, a capital ship, was a 2 on the scale, if memory served. Now, since the old scale only has five numbers, and they're arithmetical, not cubic, one assumes all shuttles are a 1, for certainly a shuttle with a phaser can't beat even an old class like CENTRIS. She's a capital ship, for gosh sakes. Yet there you are. No other option, cause no other number.

So we give you the 'old scale' number for all these ships in relation to the best use of that scale we can manage (happy, Tekra?). But for our money, use the DITL scale.

The DITL scale is given first, the old scale second, in parenthesis.

Also, as we mentioned above, we know simmers (especially engineering and science officer simmers) just love to not leave well enough alone. There hasn't been a ship in UFOP which hasn't had an officer somehow discover fire tripping over her own rear end in a firefight. This is without the benefit of the facilities, time, staff, funding and peace and quiet of the R&D people who devised the thing she's improving with chewing gun and hairpins. Be that as it may. We know you people (you know who you are) will mess with our beloved fighters. So instead of pretending you won't, we're going to make sure you don't muck it up. To do that we're going to give you a very simple, easy to follow rule of thumb for improvements and alterations, and we're going to explain it, to make doubly sure you don't conveniently forget it.

Modifying These Specs

Alright, so you're thinking, "hey, they talked about biplanes with bigger engines, didn't they? So how come I can't make a bigger, better faster nastier FA-150 while I'm in the lounge of my starship?"

Well, you can, you genius, but there's a limit. Here is why.

Let's go back to those biplanes. Yes, it was possible, using the biplane design, to improve speed and handling, but only to a point. When that point was reached, i.e., the airframe of the plane, the materials tolerances, etc, further improvement was only possible if the design changed too. Which is how we got fixed wings. And when propellers just couldn't be coaxed to get any faster, we got jets. And when 'T' wing configurations for those jets got to an upper limit of speed, they changed to swept wings. And so on.

Now, how is this reflected with starships and their smaller cousins? Easy; you take the DITL number and you add 25%. That new number is the best rating you're going to coax from variations on that design. This reflects the limits of the space frame, the computer core, the materials, the warp geometry, the power plant, etc. And that does not, by the way, mean that once you've added your 25% to the rating of your FA-150 that you have a new ship you can also add to. It's still a FA-150, and you're at the limit of that design period. You want something with a higher rating, you build a new ship.

Now, like we said, this works just as well for starships as for fighters, but that's a debate for the CC and EC of the UFOP-RPG, and we're not here to make policy, no matter how much we endorse it, hint hint. The only exception to the 25% rule, by the way, was the NEBULA, because it has those neat modules. NEBULA's could be modified up to 100% in terms of combat rating, or thereabouts. Anyway, that's the rule for fighters, people. Senior officers, keep them honest.

StarFleet SG-50 Short Range Space Superiority Fighter (RAPTOR)

• PRODUCTION BASE: Newport Fleet Yards, Sector 003.
• RATINGS: 72(1)¹. See below for DITL summary.
• TYPE: Short range non-warp medium fighter.
• INSERVICE DATE: 2370.
• ACCOMODATION: 1 pilot.
• POWER PLANT: thirty DeFl 9200 micro-Fusion RCS thrusters and one 9k impulse engine.
• DIMENSIONS: Length 5m; beam 3m; height 2.5m.
• MASS: 3.6m tons.
• PERFORMANCE: Full impulse for 60 hours.
• ARMAMENT:
  • Two forward facing type IX phaser cannons;
  • Two type VI phaser emitters (bow and stern) for a total phaser output of 2,100 terra-watts;
  • Two bow-mounted Micro-photon torpedo launchers;
  • Additional hard points allow for two "Javelin" M/AMR impulse missiles or SG munitions;
  • Hard points also allow for short range warp engines, "buddy store" fuel tanks, special mission pods or other devices.
• SHIELDS: Type 6 generators capable of deflecting 1.45 x 10 to the 5th Kw.
• SENSORS: Minimal, short range, tactical only.
• SPACE FRAME: Capable of high velocity turns up to and exceeding 45g without compromising the enhanced Structural Integrity Field. A Duraniam single hull with a standard SIF and 2cm high-density armor.
• HISTORY/NOTES: Developed once it became clear that the Federation needed extra help with the Klingons, Borg and Cardassians, the Raptor is actually a pilot's fighter. While small (and thus an excellent fit for small capital ships or ships with hangar and crew space issues), the hard points make this fighter versatile. With M/AMR missiles, it becomes as lethal a space superiority fighter as one could want. With SG (space to ground) weapons, it becomes an assault ship. With warp pods, it's capable of making short warp jumps and then jettisoning the pods for atmospheric work.

:Also, while the oldest of the modern tactical craft, the Raptor is also, pilots swear, the best "feeling" ship. To a pilot, that matters, and makes a difference in how instinctively he flies his bird. As well, she is capable of spreading a reverse swept wing configuration which makes her lethal in atmosphere, as well as more responsive than the more recent and heavier ships which depend on maneuvering jets. :This is, as you might have guessed, Rachel's favorite fighter.

StarFleet Deployable Infantry DS-79 Assault Transport (RAIDER)

• PRODUCTION BASE: Fort Hood Production Facility, NEW HOUSTON, Sector 021.
• RATINGS: 50(1). See below for DITL summary.

• HISTORY/NOTES: Developed for the Starfleet Deployable Infantry as a heavy assault lander, this craft is now essentially too dated to be of any tactical use except in rear echelon situations, as a trainer, as a transport or as a vessel of last resort. Dated methods of space frame and systems integration mean the craft reached their useful up-gradable design life by 2360, shortly after the Cardassian Wars.

:This design is included herein for several reasons, however. :The first is that is was the first true modern 24th century tactical craft designed by Starfleet, and is thus the general progenitor of the models that followed. Second, the simmer is likely to encounter some of these craft in service still, on rear echelon worlds, since the over-all fleet shortages of the 2370's meant many of these craft were pressed back into service. :Lastly, several of the few surviving Raiders from the Dominion War were sold into private service, rather than scrapped. It is possible to encounter pirates, merchants and freebooters using these vessels.

United States/Taiwanese Bergmen-Hsang Conglomerate IE-5 Indo-Exo Atmospheric Attack Plane (AVENGER)

(This craft is provided just for fun, in case some intrepid simmers take a trip back to pre-holocaust Terra or happen to find one lying around in some Ferengi's collection of exotic aviation vehicles from Terra. Remember there were variants to this type, but this is the template for them).

• PRODUCTION BASE: Bergman-Hsang Production Facility, Indonesia, Terra.
• TYPE: High Atmosphere Fighter and ASAT (anti-satellite) Vehicle.
• RATINGS: N/A.
• INSERVICE DATE: 2043.
• ACCOMODATION: 1 pilot, 1 BN, 1 ASAT officer.

• SPACE FRAME: Anti-radiation tiling, reinforced titanium-polycarbonate frame for near-space.
• HISTORY/NOTES: A versatile, lethal anti-satellite fighter-bomber, the IE-5 was copied with many variations by other nations in a mad scramble to stop the ASAT warfare which threatened global peace just before the holocaust (see appropriate footnote). The Avenger was capable of following satellites even as the newest ones defended themselves and attempted to flee ASAT satellites or vehicles. The Avenger was capable of orbits, and several even managed to make it to the moonbase when "the balloon went up" to start WWIII. The Avenger was like a rock in low atmosphere, where the air was thick, and maneuvered, as pilots were then wont to say, "like a dead cat in mud." However, once the Avenger reached the thin air, its skin would reshape and allow "quintisonic" velocities and elegant maneuvering. Only other Avengers or the knockoffs were really capable of facing this fighter on equal ground, since it was able to outfly SA-100's (surface to air missiles) and other surface-based defense measures.
