-To create a random ship, you roll a six-sided die, an eight-sided die, and a ten-sided die. Re-roll any duplicates (always re-roll the larger die). Assign these rolled values three different ways and create three different (hopefully) options.+To create a random ship, you roll a six-sided die, an eight-sided die, and a ten-sided die. Re-roll any duplicates (always re-roll the larger die). Create three ships by assigning the rolls this way: 
 +  * Assign the highest to Type, the lowest to Systems, and the other die to Engine. 
 +  * Assign the highest to Engine, the lowest to Systems, and the other die to Type. 
 +  * Assign the highest to Systems, the lowest to Engine, and the other die to Type. 
 +Notice that there are only going to be two types possible between the three ships, though you will have two different versions of the smaller Type ship to offer.
  
 The ship Types were named based on the over look and style of the vessel, and based on historical names. For instance, a longship is a long slender vessel which invokes the  impression of Viking longships. They do also imply a certain size and mass. Here are the definitions of the ten ship Types listed above: The ship Types were named based on the over look and style of the vessel, and based on historical names.

 +Here are what the different design features mean in play.
 +
 +  * Good Cargo Space: The ship has excellent cargo space. This means one standard space container (10m cube) per nominal crew member, between exterior or interior mounts.
 +  * Double Hull Design: The ship has two primary hulls instead of one, usually bridged by a central linkage assembly that houses nothing but conduits and sensor systems. Count the hull rating as 1d higher for these ships.
 +  * Slow Acceleration: The ship has slower than normal acceleration, count the maneuvering rating for the ship as 1d less than normal.
