{{Maps}}
== Map Rotation ==
The server currently uses a rotation feature that will swap between maps based on player map preferences and voting, the former being located in your character setup page. The game is weighed to use the Enterprise as the default ship, though the map can be changed if a majority votes for it. Certain maps can only be picked with higher or lower player numbers though, and are therefor excluded from map rotation when their player requirements aren't met.
= In Rotation Maps =
These maps are currently in rotation, and can be selected and played on.

|Aetherwhisp functions very differently compared to other map's with the main point being it's heavy power requirements to even function properly. Instead of ammunition it's ship weaponry requires power which is drawn from an SMES who in turn draw power from the main grid. It comes equipped with a shield which also requires power to function therefor the ship itself is equipped with multi engines, two examples being the Mk V Stormdrive and the AGCNR Nuclear Reactor.
|Notes
* Max Player limit: 20
* The ship works differently compared to other ships
* The Aetherwhisp is an advanced ship that requires a large quantity of power to even keep it's lights on.
* The ship's equipped with Phaser Weaponry which take power to fire instead of requiring Ammunition.

|The Eclipse is a very small and compact ship <s> which is the space faring version of a Lada </s> which was specifically designed for very low populations (around 5-15 players). Sporting almost no access restrictions, the Eclipse allows crewmembers to to work wherever needed, so you won't have to worry about being miner-less, or engineer-less, or even captain-less, because ''you can go and do it yourself, you lazy bum.''
|Notes
* Traitors are usually disabled at the population levels the Eclipse is played at, all-access is mostly a non-issue
* Asteroid cage is built in so as to enable mining without draining players to a separate ship

|If the Enterprise could be described as a carrier, then the Galactica can be summed up in one word: Dreadnought. You will inevitably get lost onboard this ship no matter how many times you've played on it due to it's monsterous size. The ship is powered by a Stormdrive and has a second Stormdrive in it's onboard museum. The ship comes equipped with 8 Gauss Turrets, 1 Railgun, 1 MAC Cannon, 4 Torpedo Tubes, A total of 6 PDC/Flak Loaders, 8 Launch Tubes and 2 elevators which leads to two runways that allows fighters to land without taking up a launch tube, all in all you got a solid ship able to ram the enemy and crush them with it's weight.
|Notes
* It's main weakness is rats, if one mouse eats a wire in maintenance the entire ship will lose power in a matter of minutes.

|'''Hammerhead''' may be confusing at first, but it is actually neatly organized, with every department being attached to a side of the Central Hallway. The Command Sector is in the front of the ship, holding the [[Bridge]] and [[CIC]]. Other departments extend out into their respective .
|Notes
* This map is widely regarded as being the first "functional" NSV map.
* The ship was originally made when [[Munitions]] was still a part of [[Security]], hence why the arms depot exists.
* This ship was designed in within a week due to the [[Aegis]] being the only ship at the time.
* The [[Engineering|Hull]] is wrapped all around the ship, but for the most part present around [[CIC]] and the [[Departures Lounge]].

|The Enterprise-class carrier is a capital class carrier which Nanotrasen was allowed to rent from SolGov. The Enterprise's main weapon is it's large quantity of fighter crafts which require a large quantity of fighter pilots to function properly1 The ship also comes installed with three torpedo tubes and three Point-Defence Cannons and is powered by it's Stormdrive. Most of shifts onboard this vessel is spent servicing the fighter crafts and making sure the ship works properly.
|Notes
* 1 This was probably the main reason for it's downfall being the fact that there were either too many fighter pilots and not enough crew to make the ship function, or too little fighter pilots and the ship was swarmed by enemies.
* The ship's top deck is almost entirely dedicated to launching [[Fighter Pilot|fighters]], containing almost no other facilities with the exception being the Command department.
* Due to it's massively empty top deck, stray [[Random_events#Meteor_Wave|meteors]] often create cross-z level breaches by flying over and destroying plating.

Spagooty:

Do you long for new experiences? Are you comfortable working under pressure? Do you do well when working with explosives? Like making things go boom? If so, this is the guide for you! If you follow these simple instructions you will be prepared to load and maintain all of the weapons on your assigned vessel and qualified to call yourself a professional Munitions Technician. Be wary though, much like the goalie on a professional soccer team, you're the first one to blame if things go sour in combat, second only to the command staff, but if you can't handle the heat - stay out of the munitions bay.
==Operating the guns==
{{Important|Image=Warningsign.png|Title=No smoking!|Note=Missiles, gunpowder bags and artillery shells blow up very easily, even from the smallest spark. Don't smoke, use welders, etc. in the weapons bay.}}
As a Munitions Technician, munitions assigned squad member, or Master At Arms, your job is to supply and control the various weapons on the ship to make sure they continue firing. This includes 50 Cal. Cannons, Railguns, Artillery cannons, Torpedo tubes, Gauss turrets, and the Automated Missile System (AMS). The faster you can load and prepare these weapons, the faster they can open fire on enemy ships. Do note that not all of the weapons listed here may be on your assigned vessel, so be certain to take inventory at the beginning of a shift and prepare accordingly for each weapon's needs. 
 
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:PDCrack.gif]] Point Defense Cannons ===
Point Defense cannons (PDCs) are the lifeblood of short ranged combat
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Serving as a rapid-fire weapon that is effective at taking down enemy fighters that other weapons may miss and destroying incoming missiles and torpedoes.

Luckily for you, loading these cannons is as easy as firing them:
# Go to the empty loading rack on the wall [[File:PDCEmpty.gif]]
# Insert a Full PDC Ammo Box [[File:PDCAmmo.png]]
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:Deck_gun.png]] Artillery Cannon (Deck Gun) ===
The deck guns are massive cannons that, when operated correctly, can obliterate any enemy in an instant.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
[[File:TCArtRoom.png|right|thumb|An example of an Artillery bay configuration.]]
They fire heavy projectiles which need to be primed before loading and are fueled with gunpowder which is used to propel the ammunition. 
Loading Naval Artillery goes like this:
# Acquire a projectile: [[File:NACShells.gif]]
# Arm the projectile with a multitool:[[File:Multitool.gif]] '''=>''' [[File:NAC_Shell_Armed.gif]] [[File:NAC_AP_Shell_Armed.gif]]
# Drag it onto the Payload Loading Gate: [[File:NAC_Payload_Gate.png]] '''=>''' [[File:NAC_Payload_Gate_Loaded.png]]
# Acquire the propellant of choice (either gunpowder or plasma-based accelerant): [[File:NAC_Propellant.gif]]
# Load the propellant into the Powder Loading Gate: [[File:NAC_Powder_Gate.png]] '''=>''' [[File:NAC_Powder_Gate_Loaded.png]]
# Go to the console and hit "Pack from loader": [[File:NAC_Controls.png]]
# Repeat these steps many times if you want a faster shot. You will generally load 6 bags of normal gunpowder.
# Go back to the Console, and hit "Feed Shell": [[File:NAC_Controls.png]]
# Voila! The shell is ready to fire. After the gun has fired - you will hear that anywhere on the ship - repeat these steps
It's important to note that '''there is no limit to how much gunpowder can be loaded at one time''', meaning you can insert only 1 or even 20 bags of powder. Most of the time you'll want to put in a fair amount (about 5 bags or more) of powder as the cannon round travels very slowly without it, but it's best to get in contact with the ship's tactical systems operator (one of the bridge staff) about this if possible. If you let them know how much powder you're going to load they'll be able to maximize damage output.

To see how much power is behind each shot, look on the console. It will tell you how much propellant is packed in, in units called dT. Unpacked shells start out with 25% dT, 1 bag of gunpowder adds 25% dT, and one unit of plasma-based accelerant adds 50% dT. A [[Hungry Gunpowder Bag|Hungry gunpowder bag]]'s dT% varies greatly depending on how much it has been fed.

<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:AMSComp.gif]] Autonomous Missile System (AMS) ===
Control system for firing Missiles Automatically!
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The automated missile system is a series of missile tubes linked up to a central computer, this allows it to fire missiles and torpedos automatically at targeted enemies, which are capable of dealing incredible damage and can home in on the enemy ships, making shots almost always guaranteed to hit. Loading the missiles is simple, requiring them to be assembled and then dragged onto the tube. Then walk over to the assigned Ordenance Computer, click "Payload Loaded" then "Payload Chambered". Don't forget to turn off safeties!

Controlling the AMS is fairly simple, as you can do it with the press of a button. Simply walk over to the AMS control console and select one of two firing modes:
==== Anti-ship ====
While using the anti-ship firing mode, the targeting system fires its missiles at enemy ships within its detection radius. It will also fire at enemy ships that have been targeted by fighters.
==== Countermeasure ====
If you select the countermeasure firing mode, the system will prioritize targeting incoming gunfire to avoid the ship getting hit. It also fires at ships within the detection radius if there's no incoming projectiles.
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:NewTorpTube.png|64px]] Torpedo Tubes ===
Torpedo tubes are the slower, bulkier counterparts of VLS tubes.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Torpedo tubes are slow loading, require maintenance, but are capable of dealing incredible damage and can home in on the enemy ships, making shots almost always guaranteed to hit. They have mostly been replaced by VLS tubes, given their easier maintenance and automation. However, you may still see them on some ships.

To load a torpedo tube, acquire a pre-made torpedo by dragging one onto a trolley (trolleys have a capacity of 5 torpedos) and bringing it over to the tube. Click on the trolley, click a torpedo to detach it, then drag and drop the torpedo into the tube to begin loading it. Afterward, use the adjacent console and press "Load tray", "Chamber Tray Payload", and finally "Disengage safeties" to finish loading the Torpedo tube. Remember to re-engage the Torpedo tube safeties whenever reloading to prevent damage
====Maintenance====
Torpedo tubes require maintenance when they're used too much. You probably want to perform maintenance between each bout of combat. 
Note: Make sure there's nothing in the weapon and that the safeties are on, to prevent unnecessary explosions.
# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Apply 10 units of Oil to the exposed internal machinery, repeat as needed
# Bolt (wrench) the panel, then fix (screwdriver) the hatch back in place
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:GaussGun.png|64px]] Gauss Guns===
Gauss guns fire 300mm Teflon coated tungsten rounds.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Unlike other ship weaponry, these are not controlled by [[Bridge Staff]] using the tactical console and are typically manned by Munitions Technicians. Gauss guns require no maintenance.

To man gauss guns, buckle yourself into the gauss gunner chair and you'll rise into the cockpit above. To fire, click on the overmap to fire a powerful short-range burst. Gauss guns eat through ammo quickly, and you'll ideally want someone below deck keeping you loaded at all times. Loading tungsten rounds is as simple as placing them in a crate, click-dragging it to the loading rack, and sending it up for reloading. Additional slugs can be acquired from a nearby Gauss ammunition dispenser that can be upgraded by science to produce slugs at a faster rate.

Gauss ammo racks can be upgraded by researching Guided Munitions, then printing the respective circuit board and applying it to the rack. Upgrading a gauss rack allows for rounds to be bump-loaded, meaning conveyor belts can be laid from gauss ammo dispensers directly to upgraded racks.
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:Ship_BSA.png|96px]] Superliminal Bluespace Artillery ===
Big Honking Space Gun, capable of not just annihilating your hearing, but also the enemy ship!
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Superliminal BSA is a massive machine which can accelerate a bolt of concentrated quark-gluon plasma to superliminal speeds, tearing clean through targets and annihilating everything in its path. It was developed from [[Station Goals|Bluespace Artillery]] cannons acquired in questionably legal way.

Operating it is simple, maintaining it is harder. It requires a massive amount of power just to fire even once. To input this power, simply go to it's console, set a desired amount of incoming power, and enamble charging.

'''Ensure that it has a clear firing path to space.'''
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:PDCrack.gif]] Flak cannons ===
Flak cannons fire a large amount of proximity-detonated ammunition at incoming torpedos and missiles.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
They excel at defending against these forms of weaponry, but they have very limited range.

Operating them is simple:
# Go to the empty loading rack on the wall [[File:PDCEmpty.gif]]
# Insert a Full Flak Ammo Box [[File:FlakAmmo.png]]
</div></div>
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width: 80%;">
=== [[File:coaxial_railgun.png|96px]] NT-ST049 'Sturm' coaxial railgun ===
A hybrid Railgun Weapon, capable of switching between firing Railgun Slugs and Deck Gun Shells.
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Coaxial Railgun is a weapon that uses both Power and Physical Ammunition to fire a range of projectiles at the enemy vessels, however due to its mechanical parts, the thing requires maintenance from time to time.

The Coaxial Railgun, much like all railguns, uses electricity to produce a magnetic field in order to rapidly accelerate their ammunition, it is due to this reason that you need to keep an eye on the magnetic alignment of the field.

If the field degrades too much it will affect the projectile velocity and increase the chances of a misfiring incident occurring.

The weapon is capable of being switching configuration between firing Railgun Slugs and Deck Gun Shells pretty easily.

Operating the Railgun is a relatively easy thing to do:
# Interact with the weapon to bring up its UI.
# Drag the Power Allocation slider to the users desired allocation of power. '''Please note that this will result in a passive drain on the vessels power supply, so do not do this until the engine is setup and working properly.'''
# Switch Configuration "I4- Configuration:" to the Ammunition of Choice, options being Railgun Slugs and Deck Gun Shells: [[File:Railgun_ammo.png]] [[File:NACShells.gif]]
# Insert the ammunition you have chosen, if it's Railgun slugs then insert 5 Railgun Slugs into the Weapon, otherwise insert 1 Deck Gun Shell that has been armed: [[File:Railgun_ammo.png]] [[File:NACShells.gif]]
# Interact with the weapon again to bring up its UI and press the button labeled "I1 - Payload loaded"
# Press the button labeled "I2 - Payload chambered"
# Press the button labeled "I3 - Weapon safeties" to turn off the safeties and prime the Weapon for firing.
====Maintenance====
The Coaxial Railgun requires maintenance when its used too much and when the Magnetic Alignment is out of align. You probably want to perform maintenance between each bout of combat. 
Note: Make sure there's nothing in the weapon and that the safeties are on.

In order to restore the Magnetic Alignment do the following:
# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Restore the Alignment using a Multitool
# Bolt (wrench) the panel.
# Screw the maintenance hatch back into place.
In order to repair the Gun Condition do the following:
# Unscrew the maintenance hatch on the primary external casing
# Unbolt (wrench) the internal maintenance panel
# Apply 10 units of Oil to the exposed internal machinery, repeat as needed
# Bolt (wrench) the panel, then fix (screwdriver) the hatch back in place

=== [[File:Broadsides.png|96px]] SN 'Sucker Punch' Broadside Cannon ===
The Starship Equivalent of a shotgun
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The Broadside Cannon is a weapon that requires the ship to have its side facing the enemy vessel before you fire it, otherwise the weapon will miss the target entirely.

The Broadside Cannon requires a secondary machine known as the Broadside Shell Packer Bench in order to produce the ammo for it. [[File:PackingBench.png]]

Loading the Broadside Cannon is relatively simple process:
# Acquire Five Broadside Shell Casing: [[File:Broadside_casing.png]]
# Insert the Casings into the Broadside Shell Packer Bench: [[File:PackingBench.png]] '''=>''' [[File:PackingBench_casings.png]]
# Acquire Five Broadside Shell Loads: [[File:Broadside_load.png]]
# Insert the Loads into the Broadside Shell Packer Bench: [[File:PackingBench_casings.png]] '''=>''' [[File:PackingBench_loads.png]]
# Acquire the propellant of choice (either gunpowder or plasma-based accelerant): [[File:NAC_Propellant.gif]]
# Insert your propellant of choice into the Broadside Shell Packer Bench: [[File:PackingBench_loads.png]] '''=>''' [[File:PackingBench_full.png]]
# Interact with the Broadside Shell Packer Bench and hit "Pack Casings" [[File:PackingBench.png]]
# Load the produced Broadside Shells into the Broadside Cannon: [[File:Broadside_shells.gif]]
# Voila! The Broadside Cannon is now ready to fire. After the cannon has fired repeat these steps if you have run out of ammo, otherwise repeat step 8

=== [[File:PlasmaCaster.png|96px]] Magnetic Phoron Acceleration Caster ===
Moth Plasma Gun, for Ship destruction!
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The phoron caster is a high maintenance weapon that requires a lot of attention to be fired and a lot of attention after it's fired.

The steps for firing are as follows:
# Locate a plasma gas canister and fasten it to the nearby connector: [[File:Plasma_Canister.png]]
# Turn on the gas regulator, this will begin to fill up the Plasma Capacitor Charge on the weapon's UI. [[File:Plasma_Regulator.png]]
# Once the Capacitor Charge is at 100%, turn off the gas regulator. [[File:Plasma_Regulator.png]]
# Take a phoron core and insert it into the main weapon itself [[File:Plasma_Core.png]]
# On the weapon's UI, click the "Condense Phoron Mass button"
# On the weapon's UI, click the "Commence Magnetic Charge"
# On the weapon's UI, click the "Release Constrictor Field button". This button acts as a safety and will constantly lower the Field Integrity.
# Use the TAC Console on the bridge to fire the weapon. [[File:Tactical.gif|32px]]
Warnings:
* Every time the weapon is fired or misfires, the weapon's Alignment will degrade.
* If the weapon's alignment is less than 90%, is has a greater chance of misfiring.
* The weapon will not fire if the gas regulator is on or if the splines aren't fully restored.
*When the weapon is fired, the Splines will automatically go to 0%. This will replenish over time.
* Do not try to disassemble this weapon, you will regret it.
* The gas regulator will only take plasma gas, and no other gas.
* If the weapon's splines or field integrity stop restoring for any reason, toggle the constrictor field off and on again.
* This weapon will blind you if you're not wearing eye protection while in its presence.
* This weapon cannot target fighters or other small ships.

These energy weapons are fired in the direction the ship is currently facing, and is fired by the '''Ship Pilot''', as such you need to point the nose of the ship directly at the enemy in order to have a guaranteed chance of hitting it.

Due to being an energy weapon these guns primarily do not require a constant dedication of attention in order to maintain them, however they require a constant source of power:
# Interact with the Burst Phaser Weapon
# Toggle the Slider to the amount of power you wish to pump into the cannon, this affects how fast it recharges and how many shots it can fire before needing to recharge.

==Acquiring ammunition==
This is inevitable, the ship will consume ammo at a rapid rate. If you are out of ammo outside of combat, the following list will instruct you on how to acquire more. If you are out of ammo mid-combat <s> you're fucked </s>, communicate this with CIC and the rest of your team and use what you have left for the other weapons while coordinating with cargo.

===Torpedoes and Missiles===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Torpedoes and missiles, unfortunately, cannot be ordered fully assembled and must be built by your own oil-covered hands. You need multiple things from cargo - components, casings, and warheads. Standard and armor piercing warheads can be ordered from cargo, but the other types must be researched by science before they can be made in the protolathe. Once you have all of these, turn on that conveyor belt and get this party started!

There are a total of six different types of torpedoes you can make. Each serves a different purpose.
* Standard torpedoes are your stock standard torps. They carry an explosive payload that does a fair amount of damage to ships and fighters alike.
* Armor piercing torpedoes are able to do heavy damage to armored targets. Good against large ships.
* Nuclear torpedoes are the most powerful of the explosive torpedoes. They deal devastating damage to anything they hit, but are slower and more expensive than the other torpedo types. Use them wisely, as you won't be able to make more until science researches them.
* Decoy torpedoes don't carry an explosive payload, but can be used to distract an enemy's defensive weapons, giving you a clear shot for your more powerful weapons.
* Freight torpedoes are essentially cargo pods. Load them up and fire them at another ship to deliver the goods.
* Probes are torpedoes strapped with an array of scientific sensors. Firing one of these at an anomaly will generate research for science, and potentially unlock new technology nodes. Don't miss.
Unfortunately it's only possible to construct one type of missile right now.
* High-velocity missiles are the standard missile type, they explode upon making impact and do a moderate amount of damage.
====Autonomous Missile Factory====
[[File:TCMissileRoom.png|right|thumb|The missile factory on the [[Tycoon]]]]
So you thought you had to wrench, weld and wire each missile individually? Of course not! The future is now! There's a quick and easy way to mass-produce missiles available right in the middle of your munitions bay: The factory line.

The Missile factory consists of three key parts: the conveyor belts, which have usually been slowed down to accommodate for the working speed of the robots. Tool arms, which use specific tools on the casing and are colored grey, and red colored part arms that apply parts such as guidance computers to the missiles.
The robot arms in the factory always apply their effect in the direction the red arrows on their frame are pointing, but can be loaded with parts from any direction. They also have no part holding limit, so you can fill them up with as many parts as you want.

You can even extend the factory! The parts required for making factory machines can all be printed in the munilathe along with the conveyor belts after their research has been completed.

===NT-ST049 'Sturm' coaxial railgun===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
The method of acquiring more railgun slugs for this weapon is semi-complicated.

You need to locate the "Defunct Railgun Techology Munitions Technology Disk" which can be found in Munitions, assuming some clown hasn't eaten it or it's been dusted in the Supermatter shard.

With this Technology Disk you need to upload the blueprints to the Techweb using a Research and Development Console, '''DO NOT DELETE THE BLUEPRINTS CONTAINED ON IT'''.

After you have uploaded the blueprints you can now print the Railgun Slugs in either the Cargo or Munitions Techfab
</div></div>
==You're ready==
It may be difficult to swallow all of the information you've read, but don't worry! You'll very rarely be working with all of these weapons at once as you have fellow Munitions Technicians at your side to pick up your slack. Above all, remember to have fun. With a bottle of spray paint, you can do all manner of things - name your torpedo tubes, draw funny faces near the PDC racks, and draw the borderline between the rest of the ship and the newly independent Munitia.
==More Dakka==
Is the ships just floating around in friendly space? Are all the guns loaded and you have nothing better to do? Or are those glorified laser pointers simply not enough? Fear not, because now you can even BUILD more guns! From the smallest PDC to the largest Railgun, you can outfit your ship with all the firepower.

'''Disclaimer:''' You can't print new weapon circuit boards. This means that whatever weaponry you had roundstart, you are stuck with those. However, you can still move them.

With that out of the way, here is a tip if you want to arm your ship:
*Don't overestimate how much ammo you have. Because while making the ship into a giant sniper rifle with 20 NACs might be fun, cargo WILL swiftly run dry of credits trying to supply you with ammo. 30 PDCs WILL destroy all the Torpedoes launched at you, but the crew will easily go deaf from all the pom-pom-pom.
**For this reason, giving the [[Master_At_Arms|Munitions budget card]] to cargo is highly recommended.
Here is how you can construct ship weaponry:

As said before, this is advanced stuff, usually you don't need to build new guns, and it's one hell of a job to try and keep them all loaded. But it does take up the downtime that you otherwise would have spent in the bar, and some <s> weird </s> people might find it fun.

Are you ready to explode? No? Then you're in the wrong job. Welcome to Munitions! Your job is to make sure the big guns are fully loaded and ready to blast those Syndicate scum right out of space. This will mostly entail running from gun to gun making sure they have ammo and are functioning properly, but will also see you manning some of those guns and putting a few rounds into the syndicate ships. You will also be in constant communication with supply to make sure your magazines are full, to prevent your ammunition racks from running dry mid-engagement.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Enter the Munitions Bay and put the ammo into the gun, also discover that the Master At Arms is your boss, wow.

'''Basic Skills:''' Know what kind of ammo goes into each gun, and where to get it from. Understand the loading procedures for common weapons, and how to operate the torp factory. Oil your ammo stackers.

'''Advanced Skills:''' Actively monitor your ordinance levels, know ''when'' to refill your ammo racks. Rearrange the weapons to maximize efficiency and minimize loading times. Learn how to make resupplying faster and more convenient. Be able to repair destroyed turrets and weaponry.

==One Department, Two Sections==
You're a munitions technician, in the munitions bay. But you're not all of the munitions department! Your aerial counterparts have their own portion of the department for which they are responsible. This implies that you have a part which YOU are responsible for! Even if you don't interact with them, it's good to know about the two sides of your department.

=== [[file:munibanner.png]]Weapons/Munitions Bay ===
This is your new home. Welcome! Each ship type will have a different layout and weapon configuration to them. Some ships have no torpedoes, some have no Naval Artillery cannons, while others will have nearly every weapon type. All ships are equipped with PDCs, however, so you should always look out for the slots to load those, as they look similar.

The storage room(s) will vary depending on the types of weapons the ship is equipped with. When torpedo tubes or AMS are present, you'll likely have a section of the weapons bay dedicated to the construction of these doom rockets. All torpedo types need to be constructed before they can be used. Other ammunition types may also be stored here, including missiles for fighters. It's generally a good idea to take this ammo out of storage and stash it nearby their respective weapon for faster reload time. In addition, make sure you have enough ammo to last you through any upcoming battles. You can call cargo through the supply channel by using :u in chat if you need more ammo.

The Master at Arms will probably hang out here. You're their subordinate, but there's very little they can order you to do other than "your job, thanks", so feel free to float around and help out in the Munitions Bay where it's needed.

=== [[file:scimitar.png|32px]]Hangar/Flight Deck ===
Home of the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]], the flight deck is always full of <s>coffins</s> fighters and lacking in atmosphere: don't enter without some sort of space suit! In fact, as a busy MT, you really have almost no reason to enter at all. After the removal of Deck Technicians, pilots have now been put in charge of their own fighters. It's up to them to do their own maintenance and preparation, so you might see them buzzing around the department lathe, or swiping a few tools from the lockers; it's best to stay out of their way unless they ask for some help.

You should let them do their own thing, but that doesn't mean you can't be nice. If the munitions bay is staffed to capacity, or you find yourself with a bit of downtime, you can always drag their cargo orders to the hangar's airlock, or set aside a few missiles/torpedoes from the factory just for them. But just remember: do your job first! The pilots are capable people (usually), and should be more than able to haul their own fighter parts. It's good to be a nice person, but your primary duty here is to keep the guns loaded; you can drift the tug around the hangar later!

==Now THIS is a Gun!==
Ever show up to a gun fight, with no bullets? It doesn't end well! As an MT, you need to know what weapons you will be loading, how to load them, and how to keep them battle ready - lest you and your fellow crewmates return to Risa in a firmly closed casket.

=== [[File: MAC.png|48px]] Bigger Weapons! ===
''For a detailed walkthrough of reloading ship weapons, consult the [[Guide to Munitions#Operating the guns|Guide to Munitions]].''
 

There's several possible options for the armament aboard your ship. Some ships will have a full array of weapons, while others specialize in one type while lacking another. Take note of what you have, as it'll determine what ammunition you'll need and what weapons will need the most attention.

====Standard Armaments====
As standard issue weaponry for NT vessels, at least two of these are present on every ship (except the Aetherwhisp).
* '''Point Defense Cannons:''' The small gun. Shoots small and fast-moving rounds which do light damage, but have a high rate of fire. Best used to swat down fighters or incoming torpedoes. Most commonly called PDC, or PD if you're feeling ''spicy''.
* '''Gauss Gun:''' The medium guns, operated with crew-served, manned turrets which fire medium sized tungsten slugs at high velocities. A decent anti-ship weapon that becomes very effective with multiple in operation, but needs to be reloaded with a rack controlled by the gunner.
*'''Broadside Cannons:''' A pair of big guns, facing opposite directions of the ship (port and starboard). Each one holds 5 rounds, and fires all 5 at once, in a shotgun-like burst. Loading the broadsides requires you to prepare the shells using a packing bench prior to loading. After firing, it ejects casings which can be reused in the packing bench when preparing more shells.
* '''Naval Artillery Cannon:''' A bigger gun, that shoots bigger stuff, with bigger shells. It can only hold one shot, and must be loaded with gunpowder (more gunpowder makes the round go faster), but deals heavy damage with that shot. Will likely require frequent reloading due to it's low ammo capacity. Also referred to as NACs.
*'''Vertical Launch System:''' An array of missile tubes, with anywhere from 6 to 12 tubes in each system. Each tube can hold 2 missiles or torpedoes, and tubes must be chambered individually using a linked console. Tubes can be automatically filled using conveyor belts, but only to half capacity (loading 2 projectiles requires manual loading). Commonly referred to as VLS.
* '''Automatic Missile System:''' A weapons control system that fires the contents of the VLS at whatever the bridge bunnies pointed their magical laser at, or at oncoming projectiles automatically. You can control what the system can target (enemy ships or enemy munitions), so be sure to tell CIC what it's set to!

====Special Armaments====
Rarer to see, each of the following weapons can only be found on certain ships.
* '''Hybrid Railgun:''' A big gun, which uses the power of electricity to either fire a high-damage burst of 4 tungsten slugs, or fire off one massive naval artillery shell. It's most effective against capital ships that it can hit easily, and is very hungry for ammo and energy. Needs to be maintained with oil occasionally. Only available on the Shrike.
* '''Phase Cannons/Burst Phasers:''' Energy weapons that, instead of firing kinetic projectiles, emit deadly lasers to slice through enemies! The cannon fires a single hitscan blast which deals major damage, while burst phasers cause less damage but can be fired repeatedly. Only available on SolGov ships, like the Aetherwhisp, which means you won't be working on these anytime soon (there are no munition tech job slots on the Aetherwhisp).
* '''Magnetic Phoron Acceleration Caster:''' A special weapon, firing balls of <s>plasma</s> phoron, which move slowly and have a small amount of tracking. Works best against capital ships. Requires good communication with the gunner, because unlike every other weapon, the MPAC cannot be left alone after safeties are turned off (field integrity will degrade). Only available on Dominion of Light ships, like the Serendipity.
*''' Superliminal Bluespace Artillery:''' It's a BSA, but instead of firing on coordinates, it fires straight out from the ship. Releases massive blasts of ultra-hot <s>phoron</s> plasma to turn large ships into large piles of dust. Your only interaction with the BSA will be setting the power consumption, opening the blast doors, and repairing the crater that appears when you forget to open the blast doors. For the love of god, '''open the blast doors.''' Only available on the Galactica.

=== [[file: Crowbar.png|32px]] Percussive Maintenance ===

''For a more in-depth explanation of weapon repair and construction, take a look at the [[Guide to Munitions#Operating the guns|Guide to Munitions]].''

Now that you know the types of weapons you can encounter, you should also know how to keep them in top shape. Keeping your ammunition stores high is one part of being combat-ready, but you must also maintain the various machines around the department to avoid a critical malfunction in the heat of battle.

A long time ago, when ships were armed with MACs and torpedoes were fired from ''horizontal'' tubes, maintenance was a lot more frequent. However, even though weaponry upkeep has become much more sporadic, that doesn't mean it has become any less important! A well-oiled ammo rack is the difference between smooth operation and a jammed mess, so don't be afraid to grab some oil and get greasy.

Currently, the only machines requiring regular upkeep are the torpedo tubes, ammo racks, hybrid railguns, and MPAC. Always keep a few bottles of oil on hand, and be sure to keep an eye on the machine's condition. If you neglect your ammo racks hard enough, they WILL jam, and the only way to clear it is through shoving a crowbar in. This takes valuable time which you don't have in combat; keep it maintained!

=== [[file: FlakAmmo.png|32px]] I need more bullets! ===

''For more information on acquiring ammunition, visit the [[Guide to Munitions#Acquiring ammunition|Guide to Munitions.]]''

If you've been doing your job (putting the munitions into the weapons), and the bridge staff has been doing theirs (firing at anything vaguely enemy-shaped), then your ammo racks may be looking pretty dry. It's time to restock your magazines! Cargo will be your only source of ordinance early on, and only later in the patrol will you transition to printing your own explosives. At the start of the round, check if there's anybody in the cargo bay, and get acquainted. Munition Techs are given the supply channel for a reason: to <s>hit on the QM</s> make communication between you and the powder suppliers direct. Keeping your requests in the right channel helps to stop them from getting drowned out in common.
If the cargo bay is empty, you'll have to [[Guide to hacking#Airlocks|get cargo access]] from command to keep the guns loaded.

== Battle Stations! ==
Things get crazy once the ship is in battle. Once the guns start firing and the fighters take off, your job becomes a chaotic race to reload the guns as fast as possible. You should have next to no downtime while this is all going on, so if you find yourself standing around, you're probably neglecting something important. The important things needing to be done include;
* Make sure the ship's main weapons are loaded. The bridge crew will likely be firing the guns as soon as they're loaded, so keep loading them so they can keep on shooting.
* Man/Load the Gauss guns. This weapon is very ammo hungry while being used, so keeping them loaded is important. If you have enough manpower to keep the main ship weapons loaded, hop in one of the Gauss guns and put a few rounds into the syndicate ship. Make sure you have your munitions helmet on, as you need the ear protection it offers to not go deaf from the gunfire.
* Keep an eye on your ammo reserves. You should hopefully have enough ammo to last for the entire fight. If not, call up cargo and get them to order additional ammunition. If your guns run dry, you can't fight.
* Make sure the fighters are supplied. The pilots should be able to handle this for the most part, but if you're finding yourself with nothing else to do, or munitions is staffed well enough without you, go ahead and help them out.

* '''PDCs:''' Small, fast-moving, rapid fire shots that do light damage. They are best used against fighters or incoming torpedoes.
* '''Gauss Gun:''' A manned turret that fires medium sized tungsten slugs at high velocities, a decent anti-ship weapon that operates similarly to the PDCs, but needs to be reloaded with a rack controlled by the gunner instead.
* '''AMS:''' An automatic weapons system that fires at whatever is targeted by the bridge bunnies, or at ammunition that is aimed squarely at your ship. You can set what you want the computer to target (enemy ships or enemy munitions). Must be loaded with missiles, not torpedoes.
* '''Phase Cannons''' A powerful beam weapon that fires a single, strong, hitscan beam. Has the energy capacity to fire twice in succession. Only available on SolGov ships, like the Aetherwhisp.
* '''Burst Phasers:''' A pair of lesser energy guns that can fire many light lasers per volley. Good for getting fighters off your tail. Only available on SolGov ships, which means you won't be working on these anytime soon (there are no munition tech job slots on the Aetherwhisp).

== Maintenance and Loading ==
''For a detailed walkthrough, visit the [[Guide to Munitions]].''

Although each weapon has a different ammo type, nearly all of them are loaded in a similar manner.

For the PDCs, simply take one of the matching ammo packs and loaded it into the weapon.

For the large, ammo based weapons (Railgun, Torpedoes), employ the following steps:
# Load the ammunition into the weapon. Do note that the railgun holds multiple rounds.
# Open the console next the weapon, and select the option to load the ammo.
# Select the next option to chamber the rounds.
# Disable the safeties, allowing the weapons to be fired.
For the '''larger''' guns (The Artillery Cannon), there's a little more you have to do.
# Before you load, you have to prime the cannon round with a multitool.
# Load the round, and chamber as normal.
# Add several bags of gunpowder. Do note that adding more will make the round travel faster, and that you can add up to 19 gunpowder in a single shell (although it is questionable how practical a light-speed shell would be).
# Add in the gunpowder using the console.
For the broadside guns, loading is as simple as shoving a prepared shell into the gun breech. However, you must first pack a shell before you can load it:
# Place 5 shell casings, 5 shell loads, and 1 gunpowder into the bench.
# Interact with the packing bench, and press the "Pack Casings" button. You will now have 5 broadside shells, ready for use.
For the Gauss guns, load the ammo onto the rack (Or click-drag a crate filled with the ammo onto it to load it all at once), interact with the rack, and select the option to load the rounds.

For energy weapons, all you can do is monitor the power and tell engineering to make more power if there's not enough to fire the weapons.

The ammo racks that holds your ammunition also requires maintenance from time to time, and sometimes it will jam. 
(Shift clicking it will tell you if it needs maintenance, although it's best to do maintenance on them once after every combat encounter.)

The maintenance procedure for the ammo racks is the following:
# Unscrew the cover using a screwdriver.
# Apply Oil to the mechanical components.
# Re-screw the cover back into place using a Screwdriver.

In the event that an Ammo Rack jams, the procedure to clear the jamming is the following:
# Re-screw the cover back into place if it's been removed earlier, otherwise skip this step.
# Force the jammed components away from each other, and back to their original place, using a Crowbar.

Along with making sure the weapons are loaded, keep an eye on the condition of the weapon. As it's fired, it will slowly degrade, eventually reaching a point where it's completely inoperable. Make sure to do maintenance on it before going in to battle, and make sure command is aware so you don't jump into combat with the weapons disassembled. A guide on weapon maintenance can be found in the [[Guide to Munitions]].

For the broadside guns, loading is as simple as shoving a prepared shell into the gun breech. However, you must first pack a shell before you can load it:
# Place 5 shell casings, 5 shell loads, and 1 gunpowder into the bench.
# Interact with the packing bench, and press the "Pack Casings" button. You will now have 5 broadside shells, ready for use.
For the Gauss guns, load the ammo onto the rack (Or click-drag a crate filled with the ammo onto it to load it all at once), interact with the rack, and select the option to load the rounds.

For energy weapons, all you can do is monitor the power and tell engineering to make more power if there's not enough to fire the weapons.

The ammo racks that holds your ammunition also requires maintenance from time to time, and sometimes it will jam. 
(Shift clicking it will tell you if it needs maintenance, although it's best to do maintenance on them once after every combat encounter.)

The maintenance procedure for the ammo racks is the following:
# Unscrew the cover using a screwdriver.
# Apply Oil to the mechanical components.
# Re-screw the cover back into place using a Screwdriver.

In the event that an Ammo Rack jams, the procedure to clear the jamming is the following:
# Re-screw the cover back into place if it's been removed earlier, otherwise skip this step.
# Force the jammed components away from each other, and back to their original place, using a Crowbar.

Along with making sure the weapons are loaded, keep an eye on the condition of the weapon. As it's fired, it will slowly degrade, eventually reaching a point where it's completely inoperable. Make sure to do maintenance on it before going in to battle, and make sure command is aware so you don't jump into combat with the weapons disassembled. A guide on weapon maintenance can be found in the [[Guide to Munitions]].

== Battle Stations ==
Things get crazy once the ship is in battle. Once the guns start firing and the fighters take off, your job becomes a chaotic race to reload the guns as fast as possible. You should have next to no downtime while this is all going on, so if you find yourself standing around, you're probably neglecting something important. The important things needing to be done include;
* Make sure the ship's main weapons are loaded. The bridge crew will likely be firing the guns as soon as they're loaded, so keep loading them so they can keep on shooting.
* Man/Load the Gauss guns. This weapon is very ammo hungry while being used, so keeping them loaded is important. If you have enough manpower to keep the main ship weapons loaded, hop in one of the Gauss guns and put a few rounds into the syndicate ship. Make sure you have your munitions helmet on, as you need the ear protection it offers to not go deaf from the gunfire.
* Keep an eye on your ammo reserves. You should hopefully have enough ammo to last for the entire fight. If not, call up cargo and get them to order additional ammunition. If your guns run dry, you can't fight.
* Make sure the fighters are supplied. The pilots should be able to handle this for the most part, but if you're finding yourself with nothing else to do, or munitions is staffed well enough without you, go ahead and help them out.

Are you ready to explode? No? You're in the wrong job then. Welcome to Munitions! Your job is to make sure the big guns are fully loaded and ready to blast those Syndicate scum right out of space. This will mostly entail running from gun to gun making sure they have ammo and are functioning properly, but will also see you manning some of those guns and putting a few rounds into the syndicate ships. You will also be in constant communication with supply to make sure your magazines are full, either by having them order your munitions directly from CentCom, or through the miners delivering ore, so that you can fabricate your ordinance on your own.

'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Enter Munitions Deck and reload all the guns, also discover that the Master At Arms is your boss, wow.
== Weapons/Munitions Bay ==
This is your new home. Welcome! Each ship type will have a different layout and weapon configuration to them. Some ships have no torpedoes, some have no railguns/Naval Artillery cannons, while others will have nearly every weapon type. All ships are equipped with PDCs, however, so you should always look out for the slots to load those, as they look similar.

The storage room(s) will vary depending on the types of weapons the ship is equipped with. When torpedo tubes or AMS are present, you'll likely have a section of the weapons bay dedicated to the construction of these doom rockets. All torpedo types need to be constructed before they can be used. Other ammunition types may also be stored here, including missiles for fighters. It's generally a good idea to take this ammo out of storage and stash it nearby their respective weapon for faster reload time. In addition, make sure you have enough ammo to last you through any upcoming battles. You can call cargo through the supply channel by using :u in chat if you need more ammo.

The Master at Arms will probably hang out here. You're their subordinate, but there's very little they can order you to do other than "your job, thanks", so feel free to float around and help out in the Munitions Bay where it's needed.
== Hangar/Flight Deck ==
Home of the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]], the flight deck is always full of <s>coffins</s> fighters and lacking in atmosphere: don't enter without some sort of space suit! In fact, as a busy MT, you really have almost no reason to enter at all. After the removal of Deck Technicians, pilots have now been put in charge of their own fighters. It's up to them to do their own maintenance and preparation, so you might see them buzzing around the department lathe, or swiping a few tools from the lockers; it's best to stay out of their way unless they ask for some help.

You should let them do their own thing, but that doesn't mean you can't be nice. If the munitions bay is staffed to capacity, or you find yourself with a bit of downtime, you can always drag their cargo orders to the hangar's airlock, or set aside a few missiles/torpedoes from the factory just for them. But just remember: do your job first! The pilots are capable people (usually), and should be more than able to haul their own fighter parts. It's good to be a nice person, but your primary duty here is to keep the guns loaded; you can drift the tug around the hangar later!

== Big Guns ==
There's several possible options for the armament aboard your ship. Some ships will have a full array of weapons, while others specialize in one type while lacking another. Take note of what you have, as it'll determine what ammunition you'll need and what weapons will need the most attention.
* '''Hybrid Railgun:''' A big gun, which uses the power of electricity to either fire a high-damage burst of 4 tungsten slugs, or fire off one massive naval artillery shell. It's most effective against capital ships that it can hit easily, and is very hungry for ammo and energy, so ensure the [[Bridge Staff|Bridge Assistants]] don't spam it at fighters.
*'''Broadside Cannons:''' A pair of big guns, facing opposite directions of the ship (port and starboard). Each one holds 5 rounds, and fires all 5 at once, in a shotgun-like burst. Loading the broadsides requires you to prepare the shells using a packing bench prior to loading. After firing, it ejects casings which can be reused in the packing bench when preparing more shells.
* '''Artillery Cannon:''' A bigger gun, that shoots bigger stuff, with bigger shells. It can only hold one shot, and must be loaded with gunpowder (more gunpowder makes the round go faster), but deals heavy damage with that shot. Will likely require frequent reloading due to it's low ammo capacity. Also referred to as NACs.
* '''Torpedoes:''' Rocket propelled explosive charges with tracking and course adjustment capabilities. There are six varieties of torpedoes, ranging from basic explosive charges that do damage on impact, to utility torpedoes like freight and probes, all the way to nuclear torpedoes that will annihilate nearly anything it hits. Torpedoes are heavy, so you'll need to use the munition trolley to drag them around.
* '''PDCs:''' Small, fast-moving, rapid fire shots that do light damage. They are best used against fighters or incoming torpedoes.
* '''Gauss Gun:''' A manned turret that fires medium sized tungsten slugs at high velocities, a decent anti-ship weapon that operates similarly to the PDCs, but needs to be reloaded with a rack controlled by the gunner instead.
* '''AMS:''' An automatic weapons system that fires at whatever is targeted by the bridge bunnies, or at ammunition that is aimed squarely at your ship. You can set what you want the computer to target (enemy ships or enemy munitions). Must be loaded with missiles, not torpedoes.
* '''Phase Cannons''' A powerful beam weapon that fires a single, strong, hitscan beam. Has the energy capacity to fire twice in succession. Only available on SolGov ships, like the Aetherwhisp.
* '''Burst Phasers:''' A pair of lesser energy guns that can fire many light lasers per volley. Good for getting fighters off your tail. Only available on SolGov ships, which means you won't be working on these anytime soon (there are no munition tech job slots on the Aetherwhisp).

== Maintenance and Loading ==
''For a detailed walkthrough, visit the [[Guide to Munitions]].''

Although each weapon has a different ammo type, nearly all of them are loaded in a similar manner.

For the PDCs, simply take one of the matching ammo packs and loaded it into the weapon.

For the large, ammo based weapons (Railgun, Torpedoes), employ the following steps:
# Load the ammunition into the weapon. Do note that the railgun holds multiple rounds.
# Open the console next the weapon, and select the option to load the ammo.
# Select the next option to chamber the rounds.
# Disable the safeties, allowing the weapons to be fired.
For the '''larger''' guns (The Artillery Cannon), there's a little more you have to do.
# Before you load, you have to prime the cannon round with a multitool.
# Load the round, and chamber as normal.
# Add several bags of gunpowder. Do note that adding more will make the round travel faster, and that you can add up to 19 gunpowder in a single shell (although it is questionable how practical a light-speed shell would be).
# Add in the gunpowder using the console.
For the broadside guns, loading is as simple as shoving a prepared shell into the gun breech. However, you must first pack a shell before you can load it:

Spagooty: small update to pirate section | added ship images

= Syndicate =
The Syndicate is THE enemy in these Sectors. You will most often meet them on the battle <s>field</s> space. Do note that the syndies are always developing newer and newer ships. So be prepared, some unknown foe may appear out of nowhere!
==Fighters==
=== Syndicate Interceptor ===
[[File:Syndicateinterceptor.png]]Syndicate interceptors are launched from larger, threatening carrier ships. Individually they pose little danger, but they can start dealing lots of damage when grouped up.
=== Syndicate Bomber ===
[[File:Syndicatebomber.png]]Also launched from carrier ships. Similar to interceptors, but they are equipped with multiple torpedoes and will target capital ships. If you're a [[Fighter Pilot]], take these ones down first. Rarer to see at the moment.
== Mediumweight spacecraft ==
=== Mako class patrol frigate ===
[[File:Makopatrolfrigate.png]]Smaller syndicate vessel which typically serves as a distraction to larger threats. Equipped with some light torpedoes.
=== Astartes class marine frigate ===
[[File:Makomarinefrigate.png]]A frigate which prioritizes boarding the NSV by getting close enough. Evade at all costs, unless you want a group of angry [[Syndicate Drop Trooper]]s onboard.
=== Mauler class flak frigate ===
[[File:Maulerflakfrigate.png]]The bane of [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] everywhere. Fast, and will prioritize shooting down fighter craft with Flak and Anti-air guns.
=== Aspala Class Sub-spacemarine ===
[[File:Aspalasub.png|96x96px]]The only ship type equipped with cloaking technology, which it uses to hide its IFF signal on the radar and turn partially invisible.<s> The reason why battles take forever</s>
=== Thermonuclear destroyer ===
[[File:Thermonucleardestroyer.png|96x96px]][[File:Megamouthflak.png|frameless]][[File:Megamouthelite.png|frameless]]The big bad. Armed to the teeth with nuclear torpedoes and eager to test them out on you. If you encounter one in a system, run or prioritize shooting down the thermonuclear torpedoes with PDCs.
== Heavyweight spacecraft ==
=== Barracuda class tactical cruiser ===
[[File:Cruiser.png|frameless]][[File:Barracudataccruiser.png]][[File:Cruiserelite.png|frameless]]A beefier version of the aforementioned light cruiser. Tough to kill battleship which can wreck havoc with its gauss turrets and radial MAC cannon.
=== Syndicate combat carrier ===
[[File:Syndicatecombatcarrier.png]][[File:Carrierelite.png|frameless]]A high priority target which constantly spawns Syndicate interceptors and bombers. Carriers are supply ships which repair their allies.
=== Inquisitior class assault cruiser ===
A slow, bulky tank of a ship that will devastate up close.
== Fleets ==
The Syndicate - just like Nanotrasen - have multiple fleets they use for a multitude of tasks.
*Most often seen are the ''Border Patrol'' fleets. These fleets are strong enough to protect from the occaisonal incursion, but when a brave crew - that's where You come in - smashes through them, they mobilize the other fleets.
*''Commando Taskforce'' is a fleet with Boarding Frigates. Try to stay mobile, and ready up security when fighting them.
*''Nuclear Deterrent'' is a dangerous fleet armed with Nuclear Weaponry. Refill the 50 cals!
*''Unidentified Fleet'' is a fleet of Stealth Frigates. Prepare the radar and start looking for blips!
It should be noted that all of the above fleets come with an assortment of conventional ships - carriers, cruisers, fighters - alongside their special ships.

There are also '''sector specific''' fleets, that inhabit a specific sector of the Starmap.
*The ''Rubicon Crossing Defenders''. The vigorus defenders standing guard outside the Syndicate capital system.
*The ''Dolos Welcoming Party''. The last defenders of the Syndicate Capital. Not many have seen them and even less have come back to tell the tale.
= Space Pirates =

|name=First Mate Spesswave}}
Yarr harr matey! Did you really think that only NT and the syndies had ships around here? Some brave and maybe foolish crews have taken to the starts, and - after NTs forces have been stretched too thin - started raiding merchant vessels. They should be no match for an armed patrol ship, right?
== Stolen ships ==
=== Space Pirate Ship ===
[[file:piratevessel.png]]A swift and lightly armored vessel captured and modified by the pirates. Equipped with PDC, and occasionally a crew of boarders in the hold.
=== Space Pirate Missileboat ===
[[file:pirateboat.png]]A small and nimble ship, armed with torpedos. Hardly a danger.
=== Space Pirate Gunboat ===
[[file:pirategunboat.png]]A larger cruiser, fitted with a naval artillery cannon.
=== Space Pirate Dreadnought ===
[[file:Spacepirategunboat.png]]A slow and heavy warship. Given that it lacks the pirate's favored mobility, it is only used in fleets which usually stay in one system.
== Fleets ==
*''Space Pirate Fleet'' is a small fleet made up of Gunboats.
*''Space Pirate Raiding Fleet'' is a fleet made up of Gunboats and Missileboats.
*''Space Pirate Holding Fleet'' is a fleet which includes the usual Gun and Missileboats, but also has a Dreadnought. These fleets usually defend the "home" systems of pirates.

[[File:Cruiser.png|frameless]][[File:Barracudataccruiser.png]][[File:Cruiserelite.png|frameless]]A beefier version of the aforementioned light cruiser. Tough to kill battleship which can wreck havoc with its gauss turrets and radial MAC cannon.
=== Syndicate combat carrier ===
[[File:Syndicatecombatcarrier.png]][[File:Carrierelite.png|frameless]]A high priority target which constantly spawns Syndicate interceptors and bombers. Carriers are supply ships which repair their allies.
=== Inquisitior class assault cruiser ===
A slow, bulky tank of a ship that will devastate up close.
== Fleets ==
The Syndicate - just like Nanotrasen - have multiple fleets they use for a multitude of tasks.
*Most often seen are the ''Border Patrol'' fleets. These fleets are strong enough to protect from the occaisonal incursion, but when a brave crew - that's where You come in - smashes through them, they mobilize the other fleets.
*''Commando Taskforce'' is a fleet with Boarding Frigates. Try to stay mobile, and ready up security when fighting them.
*''Nuclear Deterrent'' is a dangerous fleet armed with Nuclear Weaponry. Refill the 50 cals!
*''Unidentified Fleet'' is a fleet of Stealth Frigates. Prepare the radar and start looking for blips!
It should be noted that all of the above fleets come with an assortment of conventional ships - carriers, cruisers, fighters - alongside their special ships.

There are also '''sector specific''' fleets, that inhabit a specific sector of the Starmap.
*The ''Rubicon Crossing Defenders''. The vigorus defenders standing guard outside the Syndicate capital system.
*The ''Dolos Welcoming Party''. The last defenders of the Syndicate Capital. Not many have seen them and even less have come back to tell the tale.

Yarr harr matey! Did you really think that only NT and the syndies had ships around here? Some brave and maybe foolish crews have taken to the starts, and - after NTs forces have been stretched too thin - started raiding merchant vessels. They should be no match for an armed patrol ship, right?
== Lightweight ships ==
=== Space Pirate Gunboat ===
A swift and lightly armored vessel captured and modified by the pirates.
=== Space Pirate Missileboat ===
A small and nimble ship, armed with torpedos. Hardly a danger.
=== Space Pirate Juggernaut ===
A slow and heavy warship. Given that it lacks the pirate's favored mobility, it is only used in fleets which usually stay in one system.
== Fleets ==
*''Space Pirate Fleet'' is a small fleet made up of Gunboats.
*''Space Pirate Raiding Fleet'' is a fleet made up of Gunboats and Missileboats.
*''Space Pirate Holding Fleet'' is a fleet which includes the usual Gun and Missileboats, but also has a Juggernaut. These fleets usually defend the "home" systems of pirates.

Your primary task aboard your assigned vessel is to operate the systems that the [[Ship Engineer|engineers]] and [[Guide_to_Munitions|munitions techs]] maintain and feed. These include piloting the ship and operating most of the weapons through two consoles in CIC - the '''Flight Control Console''' and the '''Tactical Systems Console'''. Use '''Ctrl + Scroll Wheel''' to zoom out when viewing the overmap through these consoles.
=The DRADIS=
This is the ship's pair of eyes, a medium-range sensor suite that can identify targets at short range and see them coming from a fairly long range. Multiple individuals can use the DRADIS console at any given time and it is a requirement to effectively pilot the ship or aim the guns. Because of this it's possible to have the Dradis console open alongside other consoles, which is the intended way to use it. 
Apart from having a single detection radius, it is also possible to switch to a sonar mode. This mode makes the dradis send out a ping every few seconds, which then reveals '''every ship in the system'''. Of course such a powerful tool comes with a huge downside, when the sonar is active every ship in the system can detect the pings and thus know where you are. Usually it is best to only reserve the sonar for hunting down stealth ships at the end of the fight to avoid having to fight the entire fleet all at once.
=The Flight Control Console=
The operator of this console is responsible for flying the ship. It's fairly straightforward, but there are some keys you need to know. In general, avoid getting hit if possible, try to dodge torpedoes, and avoid boarding vessels while remaining within sight of the enemy for your gunner.

The '''C''' toggles whether the ship follows the mouse. When you first click the console, the ship will strive to point its nose towards your mouse. Hit space to toggle this behavior, which can be useful for not ruining your orientation just because you needed to click out of the window for a moment.

'''W and S''' control the throttle. Remember, the ship retains momentum once it starts moving; it will only stop itself if the inertial assistance system is turned '''on'''.

The '''Alt key''' is a sort of parking brake. Hitting it toggles the brake, which will make the ship come to a complete stop and stay there. '''Do not leave the parking break on while jumping into a hot zone.''' The chances that you remember to turn it off in those first few seconds of dodging torpedoes are very much '''not''' 100%. The deaths of so many innocent men weigh upon my soul.

The '''Shift Key''' activates a boost, which is primarily useful for dodging particularly nasty torpedoes or evading enemy boarding vessels.

'''Q and E''' activate a rotational drift, which is useful for <s>pulling sick drifts</s> turning very quickly, and in a short distance. This can also help to evade torpedos and less maneuverable ships.

The '''X''' key toggles inertial assistance. Disabling this allows you to strafe using '''A and D''', and stops the ship from automatically braking when you stop holding '''W'''.

Point Defense Cannons, standard issue on NT vessels, fire numerous bullets in a short amount of time. This makes it great for taking out incoming torpedos or fighters. But be warned, you may only fire them in bursts. You can fire it by '''Left Clicking''' anywhere around the ship. The Tac console also has access to this weapon.

If your vessel is equipped with '''Superliminal Bluespace Artillery''', you can use '''Left Click''' to fire a highpower plasma laser straight out of the nose of the ship. This can be very useful for finishing off large or medium-sized ships at close range. This weapon is hilariously powerful, but takes a lot of power and time to recharge.

Bear in mind that as the pilot, it's your duty to minimize losses by evading incoming fire and assisting the [[Fighter Pilot|flyboys]] where needed. If the ATC reports that a pilot has ran out of fuel, you can help out by flying over the stranded fighter's flight path so it can dock.
=The Tactical Console=
The gunnery console is a little more straightforward, but it pays to have munitions tech experience. Knowing the rough ammo capacity of different weapons can be useful, but the names themselves are fairly informative. Hit the '''Space''' key to switch between weapons. Being on this console will also give you a readout on the remaining ammo (in percentages) of the ships weapons, including those you can't fire from this console, as well as the ship's armor and structural integrity.

''Your'' weapons include:

'''Torpedoes''' –
Click in a direction after locking onto a target to fire a Torpedo. Torpedoes deal a significant amount of damage with a short travel time that may require a small amount of leading. Additionally, nuclear warheads can be loaded to deal a massive amount of damage but are difficult to acquire. Torpedo tubes also do not possess much ammo capacity, being limited to only a few torpedo tubes with a long loading time. Torpedoes do however have a homing effect, making for very good long-ranged weapons.

'''Naval Artillery Cannon''' –
To shoot the Artillery cannon simply click where you want it to hit. While this seems easy to do at the first glance, the artillery cannon requires more than just a single click to work. Before you can fire it needs to be loaded with gunpowder, as the amount of powder used affects the speed of the bullet. This means that you'll have to communicate with the munitions staff (radio hotkey: .w) to ensure the optimal bullet trajectory. This means that if the gun doesn't have much powder loaded the bullet will move very slowly, and you must aim your shot in where you expect the enemy to be instead of where they currently are.

'''Automated Missile System (AMS)''' –
The missiles are an easy to use automatic defense and offense weapon. Their targeting systems are controlled by the [[Munitions Technician|Munitions Technicians]] and can choose between multiple firing modes. If they are set to Countermeasure mode they will automatically aim at incoming torpedoes and missiles, while Anti-Ship mode gives you (and the fighter pilots) direct control over where the missiles are heading. To set a target for the missile system simply '''hold CTRL and click with the left mouse button or press "Target"''' on the Tac console's UI. Fighter pilots can also do this for ships that are outside your view range to make it targets further away.

'''Point Defense Cannon (PDC)''' - Point Defense Cannons are as the name implies: defensive utilities. They fire a large volume of bullets in a short amount of time. This makes it great for taking out incoming torpedos or fighters, but ineffective against larger opponents. The Helm console can also fire the PDC, but unlike the helmsman, your PDC is fully automatic. This makes you, the gunner, better suited to laying down defensive fire.

You will also have a readout of the Gauss and the Superliminal BSA, however these are not under your control. Gauss cannons are controlled directly by Munitions Technicians while the BSA is controlled by the helm officer (see above).

In addition, while it might be obvious, it is worth noting that different ships have different weapon loadouts, and as such, different playstyles.
=The FTL Console=
This console controls the ship's long-range movement. It will provide you a map of various star systems that the ship can navigate to, as well as the ship's current location and how charged the FTL drive is. In order to make a jump, the drive must be 100% spooled up, which takes about a minute. If it isn't spooling at all, yell at engineering. As one might expect, this console doesn't need a dedicated crewmember; the pilot usually takes care of the job. However, in combat scenarios where the ship is fleeing, it might be neccesary for another member of the bridge crew to operate the FTL console while the pilot runs evasive maneuvers.
=When Not In Combat=
When you're not in combat, your second job comes in: Being the captain's whipping boy. During FTL jumps and while waiting for engineering to get its shit together, feel free to go make a run to the nearby cigarette vendor to sate the crippling nicotine addiction that you've adopted in order to retain your sanity while working this close to the captain. And remember, memeing with the captain is an important job. No matter how flagrantly he's abandoning his duty to throw stupid parties, your answer should always be "Yes, <s>dear</s> sir."
