All CL-Drive ships are assumed to have certain basic components in as part of their standard hull and fittings. These basic components are determined by the ship configuration.
All additional components are controlled by three main fitting characteristics: external hardpoints, internal hardpoints, and grid.
Hardpoints are specially engineered locations in and on the ship's hull designed for structural integrity and advanced power and computational access. External hardpoints are fitted to the ship's exterior, internal hardpoints are contained within the ship's structure. Hardpoints are a fixed resource based on the ship's design.
Grid is a measure of available power and computational capacity. Certain (expensive) ship fittings can alter available grid.
Fire control measures the effective speed of a weapon system. ROF is rate of fire per round. Reload is time to fit a new clip. Clip is number of total shots before a reload is required. Lasers are a special case, requiring no ammo, but using a capacitor charge when fired. Lasers can be fitted with additional capacitors to effectively increase clip size.
Damage numbers rate each weapon system in terms of three base damage types, kinetic, thermal and explosive.
Range values indicate the effective minimum and maximum range bands for the weapon system. Deviation measures the loss of damage per band out of range or per band of relative velocity shift. Note that missiles are a special case. They are only effective in the indicated ranges and are unaffected by actual Range and Deviation. They CAN however, be affected by ECM defenses specifically targeting them.
Note: Certain factional components (i.e. Navy or Scout), require a relationship with the appropriate organization. Anyone with at least Rank 1 status with such an organization can arrange the availability of one such component. Rank 3+ allows two components.

Defenses use the same fitting system as weapons. Shields and armor negate a fixed amount of damage based on the same damage types weapons inflict. ECM (and some specialized shields and armor) affect the opponent's targetting and tracking systems, inflicting a penalty on either range band or deviation.

(1) Each sensor array fits two sensor types, which are included in the price above. Advanced sensors fall into one of three categories:
(2) Ships are assumed to have life support for their standard crew and passenger allocation.
(3) Sleeper Bays are used for bulk passenger transport or, occasionally, prisoner transport.
(4) Remote sensor probes allow Planetary and Gravimetric sensors to be used on remote targets. Typically these sensors require orbital approaches. Remote sensor probes relay information back to ship sensor arrays for analysis. A probe launcher is fitted with 5 reusable probes. Additional probes cost $20,000 each.
These are variants on core fitting components that alter the fundamental structure of the ship. The cost of these components is the EXTRA cost above and beyond the standard component, which is part of the ship's base cost.
