Any ideas on how to make the spaceships unique?

[gaby]

I known a big number of Tech and Weapons are very common to all the Power blocs in 3 Galaxies.

What I like to known is how to make ships and militaries that are unique to each Power bloc,Any ideas?

Take 5 aspects of technology; weapons, armour, shields, gear (sensors, cloaks, computing power, etc...), and speed.

From here you have the basis for dozens of combinations of ships; you just need a rating system - which could be dependant on the different organizations you wished to emphasize; for this example I'll use a 5 point rating system (5 being the best, 1 being the worst out of the major powers).

Military A; weapons 5, armour 1, shields 1, gear 1, speed 1.
Military B; weapons 2, armour 2, shields 2, gear 4, speed 3.
Military C; weapons 4, armour 3, shields 1, gear 1, speed 2.

Etc...etc... until you feel you have enough combinations of ship types. Then from here you take a chasis; a high mark for each grouping to follow.
Destroyer Class Warship
MDC: 5000
Shield MDC: 5000
Gear: Long-range sensors, Cloaking device, Advanced targetting computer (+3 strike all weapons)
Weapons: 100d6 worth of weaponry
Engines: 100LY FTL drivers
(note that I made up most of these statistics, names, etc... *this is just an example*)

Using '5' as an indicator of 91-100%, and every number lower as 1-10% less than 91%, you can gauge how good the military ships of each faction are. For all aspects just knock off a percentage of the MDC/damage; this will give you some good ships for each class. Note that these should be better than civilian ships and most custom ships on nearly all aspects.

For clarification, just ask.

Here are some millitary rank ideas


For TGE,s (Flag offices) War Greneral,War Colonial,War Major,War Captain,for (line offices) battle greneral,battle colonial,battle major,battle Captain,battle Lieutant,(NCO),high Combat Sergeant,chief Combat sergeant,senior Combat sergeant,Combat sergeant,Assault Sergeant,Assault Corporal,assault Legionnaire,senior Legionnaire,Legionnaire.

For Golgan republik,I see Legislative titles as ther Ranks;(Flag offices)High executive,executive,High Intendant,intendant(line onffices)Master Coordinator,high coordinator,senior coordinator,coordinator,sub coordinator,(NCO)High director,senior director,director,sub director,High Manager,senior manager,manager,senior woker,woker.

waht do you think?

I know those markings! That's the dreaded plaid of a Kreelocian battle-tub!

I'd toss all inferences to "war" and "battle". These people are in the military and know what that job involves.

If you need a reference guide, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_ranks is pretty good. It gives you perspective on what each position constitutes. Given that these are for forces that encompass galaxies, you may want to have multiple fleet admirals, and something above them.
