Ships of the Galaxy Question (Ipsha War Globe)

[ladegard]

Is it just me, or is this ship just chock-a-block full of items that aren't defined anywhere? I can't find any descriptions of either the Focuser Cannon or Energic Blaster (although being weapons I at least have operational stats). Nor can I find information on the saucer drive or magnetic drive features. I'm willing to admit I may just be missing them somewhere, but... help? Please?

I had a look in the Ship Builder's Manual cant see anything in there

Well, because the Ipsha globe was a unique ship as far as the book went, its "special" info did not get a section for itself. But I'll see what I can do here to come up with an idea what the ship does (besides its stats, of course) for you.

Saucer Drive and Magnetic Drive: These are descriptors for the way the vehicle pulls itself along in space. Saucer drives mean that the vehicle received a bonus to its handling due to the sheer manoeuvrability of the ship. Magnetic drives are alot like gravitic drives, but use internal magnetics to acheive the same function (so are otherwise identical).

Energic Blaster: This weapon siphons off just a tiny bit of the energic mass that powers the War Globe and hurls it at a target like a particle cannon. It has no special benefits.

Focusser Cannon: A powered up version of the energic blaster. This weapon uses more of the energic mass' stores when it fires, so they are often limited on the Ipsha ships to just a few per energic mass for safety reasons.

I hope that help some, sorry that they got left out!

Cheers,
Bry

Got a question about this book, is there any mention on the other league races ships? Like Yolu, Hyach, Kor-lyan, Markab etc etc?

There are some League races with their own chapters, but none of those. Abbai, Brakiri, Drazi and Vree have their own chapters. There's a misc. section that has samples from other races (There's Hurr and Markab in there among others) but no specific treatment of the minor races that don't have much screen time. Not that that should stop you. If you need ship stats, this is the book to have, and you can easily mod ships in it to fit with other minor races.
