Ship Gear - Missing Details

[DivineWrath]

Thanks, it is helpful. Looking at the list, I was able to go look for some missing information for Torpedo bays in the Darrian book. Its seems that the Torpedo bays are setup as TL+3 equipment, so therefore the Torpedo bays would be TL 12 stuff (TL 15 - 3 is TL 12), and the prices would be consistent with Missile bays and Heavy Missile bays (after removing the price increase for being TL+3 gear).

Considering basic Torpedos show up at TL7, I probably would start there.....

I started rethinking things. The ship equipment I was looking at in the Darrian book was TL 15 (or higher), even stuff that would normally be much lower. TL+3 basic torpedoes should be TL 10 gear, not TL 15 (it seems that their stealth upgrade has a TL 15 prerequisite). The torpedo bays don't have any upgrades that require it be TL 15 minimum, but having torpedo bays be 5 TLs higher than the armaments they use is a bit odd (it does makes rearming easier, but still odd after considering other rules). Considering that small craft can use torpedoes without bays (they have special rules) I think it would be odd to allow them to handle such weapons for many TLs before bigger ships can. I think that such stuff needs to be reconsidered...
