Orbital planes

These crafts are used to transport people up to orbit, they resemble usual aeroplanes and are capable of carrying up to 200 passangers into orbit.

Shuttles

Trucks of the future, used to transport goods in space. They are not capable of interplanetary flight but are able to fly from the Earth to the Moon. Shuttles can enter athmospheres and land on the surface of planets. They can also be armed with light lasers and small short-range missiles.

Spacefighters

These are small fighters equipped for spaceflight usually with crews of 1-2 persons. They are unable to enter athmospheres as no heatshields have been installed. Also these vessels have an maximum operational time of 10 hours, making it impossible to do but short space missions with them. For example a flight from the Earth to the Moon is impossible for them. The armament of these vessels are either light lasers and small missiles or one big "bombmissile".

Multiple Purpose Transports

This shiptype was developed by ZPG for the construction of Moonbases. These huge ships can be over 1 km long and are constructed to carry standard sized cargomodules. They are capable of flying anywhere in the Solar system, but unable to land on planets with athmospheres or a gravity of more than 0.5 of the Earths. They can carry all possible kinds of weapon systems. Minimum crew to operate is 5, usually about 30 crewmembers. They have hangars capable of holding shuttles.

Cruisers

These are ships especially designed for warfare in space. Propped full with electronic detection and countermeasure equipments these vessels are capable of going anywhere in the Solar system and shoot almost everything down. They can also do planetary strikes with nukes and heavy lasers. Crew 6 - 20 persons. These ships are unable to land on planets or Moons.

Battleships

Only two ships of this class exists; Sirius and Vulcan. Both are constructed from an astroid and move with the help of small multiple nuclear explosions. They are packed with guntowers, missiles and EMP shielded electronics. Crew 500 - thousands. These ships have hangars capable of holding even MPT ships.

Shadows

Stealthcovered small spaceships capable of sneaking anywhere with a very low possibility of detection. As weaponry they have only light lasers and a maximum of two spacetorpedoes. Crew 1-5 persons.

Other

In addition to these shiptypes there are several specialconstructions which are for example: spacescooter (used to do outside inspections of spacestations), spacesurfboards (used by the Beach Boys gang to surf along athmospheres of planets, construction ships (these are only huge steelframes with engines on them so that they can be moved in space). There are of course also the Troop Deployment Torpedoes, developed by ZPG. These are capable of landing strike squads of up to 50 soldiers/torpedo on planets surfaces.
