Subject: SPOILERS: Observations in NJO - Dark Tide II: Ruin - part II (long)


Part II of the Ruin observations...

Okay, now onto the ships and vehicles.  There are quite a few, both in Ruin and
Onslaught, mostly Vong.

First, the corvette-sized cruiser, or light cruiser.  The quickchat designator
is "light".  Their full capabilities are unknown, but they have average void
capabilities and good weapons capacity.

Yuuzhan Vong Light Cruiser
Craft: Custom Engineered Yuuzhan Vong Light Cruiser
Type: Genetically engineered light cruiser
Length: 430 meters
Scale: Capital
Skill: CS piloting: Vong cruiser
Crew: 140, gunners: 30, skeleton: 78/+10
Crew Skill: CS gunnery 4D, CS piloting 4D+1, Yuuzhan biotechnology 4D+2
Passengers: 400 (troops)
Cargo Capacity: 4,000 metric tons
Consumables: 1 year
Hyperdrive Multiplier: None*
Nav Computer: No*
Maneuverability: 2D+1
Space: 6
Hull: 4D+2 (regenerates 1D every 1D hours)
Sensors:
   Passive: 30/1D
   Scan: 70/2D
   Search: 120/3D
   Focus: 4/4D
Weapons:
   12 Plasma Emitters
      Fire Arc: 4 front, 3 left, 3 right, 2 back
      Crew: 2
      Skill: CS gunnery
      Fire Control: 3D
      Space Range: 2-8/30/55
      Atmosphere Range: 4-16/60/110km
      Damage: 4D
   3 Dovin Basals
      Fire Arc: Turret
      Crew: 2
      Skill: Yuuzhan biotechnology
      Fire Control: 4D
      Space Range: Immediate
      Atmosphere Range: 5-10/20/45
      Damage: Special (see Dovin Basal entry for details)
*Warships use a form of biotechnology to "fold" space in on itself, allowing
instantaneous transport.  However, this drains the energy reserves of the
warship, and can only be used every (distance to travel [in light years] / 2D)
days.  Also, instead of a navicomputer, the dovin basals coordinate with the
yammosk to know about the environment and star system layouts around them.
Game Notes: When all dovin basals are in use, maneuverability decreases to 0D.
When ship is maneuvering at full power, only one dovin basal can be used.

Next, the mid-sized cruiser, or assault cruiser.  The quickchat designator is
"salt" (pretty stupid to me, but I'm going by the book...).  Like the light,
their full capabilities are unknown, but they have good void capabilities and
good weapons capacity, as well as being quite durable.

When ship is maneuvering at full power, only three dovin basals can be used.

Lastly, the command cruiser, also known as the Legacy of Torment.  The quickchat
designator is "grand" (also fairly stupid to me).  Like the previous two ships,
its full capabilities are unknown, but it has good void capabilities and
excellent weapons capacity, as well as being quite durable.  However, the only
known type of this craft was destroyed over Ithor 25 years after the Battle of
Yavin.

(Note: I've done this one in two versions - one for those that say the SSD is
8000m long and one for those who say the SSD is 17600m long.  Use what you will,
and don't whine about the 17600m one being too big or powerful - that's how it's
SUPPOSED to be.)

Last but not least, the troop carriers.  The quickchat designator calls them
"crates".  They have one dovin basal and at least two anti-personnel plasma
