The Anatomy
of a Missile article
This article, by
Karl Bergman, was published in Challenge magazine, and so is “canon”. It does,
however, not reproduce the missiles in Star Cruiser. This article is updating
most of the Star Cruiser missiles to the AoM article. The article is pretty
much online already, so I’ll include details here. The system can be used to
design missiles, drones, submunitions (although the launchers are a different
matter, I’ll add rules for those) and sentinels.
Missiles built
using this article are strictly one shot devices, the stutterwarp, once
activated be only be used once and then must be disposed of, the tantalum coil
melts or something.
There are 4
major parts of the missile, the warhead (or weapon), the propulsion unit, the
guidance unit, and the missile casing.
The warhead is
either a det-warhead or a fixed weapon. The fixed weapon may be either powered
from capacitors (limited shots) or from the power plant directly, in which case
the power plant must produce at least 1MW excess. Any fixed weapon (including
those with attack bonuses and heavy particle beams) may be installed, the table
shows the modifiers.

Prior to the
2270’s almost all missiles used fixed weapons (some experimental det-missiles
with very low damage values were produced earlier, but they came of age in the
2270’s). Ships built before this are still basically gunships, while the 2280’s
sees the adoption of the det-missile and the coming of age of missile ships.
Submunitions and capacitors become available around the same time.
The guidance
unit consists of a fixed control package which all remote objects (i.e. every
missile, drone, submunition and sentinel) must have, and any installed sensor
package (0.1 cubic meters/ tons, MLv0.1, 0.2 square meters). The sensor package
is a cut down normal package and can scan in a number of 60 degree arcs only.
AoM has this as 10% of the standard mass/ cost per arc, but ignores the fact
that space is 3D. I thus suggest the following table.

This accounts
for the areas above and below the plane. This multiplier is applied to all
stats (volume, mass, MLv, MW for actives, CS) to create directional sensors.
All the missiles with sensors below are equipped with 1 arc, forward facing
passive sensors.
The propulsion
unit consists of the power plant (a fuel cell for small missiles, an MHD for
larger drones) and the stutterwarp drive. The mass and volume for both are only
25% of the regular units, reflecting the lack of maintenance space and the fact
that these units are not meant to be robust, only warping for a few hours. The
costs are divided by 10 for the power plant and 20 for the stutterwarp. These
units are not shielded, and not suitable for use in manned craft.
The missile
casing is designed as a standard starship hull. Remember, the formulae you need
are:
Volume of
cylinder = length x pi x radius x radius
Area of cylinder
= length x diameter x pi
Volume of cuboid
= length x width x height (width and height are usually the same)
Area of cuboid =
length x width x 4 (if width = height)
Note in both
these cases the end caps are missing, this is the standard NAM practice.
To convert area
to MV
MV = Area/ 50
MV is multiplied
by the material mass multiplier, no missile may be armoured. Most missiles
below have sufficient waste volume to be considered “streamlined” and capable
of atmospheric use, although their drives won’t work in an atmosphere, they
could be used as planetary bombardment munitions in a pinch.
Generating
game stats.
Total up the
cost of the components, and assess them as if they were a starship in NAM to
generate profiles, warp efficiency etc. You will find that missiles are
considerably faster, as they mass less. Skip step 4 (crew), step 11 (all
missiles fire into the front aspect only) and step 12 (no missile may be
armoured).
Under certain
circumstances a missile or drone may be reused. If a fixed weapon missile, then
it may be recovered. The same is true for unfired det-weapons. The missile must
be at all stop, and recovered by a mobile ship sending out an EVA team. Most
missiles are booby trapped, so taking enemy missiles is a bad idea. The
propulsion assembly may not be salvageable. There is a 10% cumulative chance
per hour of use the device will not be usable again, with the smallest mission
counting as 1 hour. (The SC scale is broken, my personal fix is to leave the
hex size alone and have 20 minute turns, so 3 turns are one hour. Changing hex
size instead brings in lasers with much longer ranges). If the propulsion unit
is not salvageable, a new stutterwarp must be installed (assuming one is
available), this takes 4 hours and involves the standard tasks for bring a
stutterwarp online. The capacitors must also be recharged, which takes 1 hour
per each MW-turn the missile carries.
This sequence
may create other remote objects by simply missing out items of equipment.
Sensor drones drop the warhead, but usually have a 6 arc sensor (and an active
sensor) installed. Sensor buoys drop both the warhead and stutterwarp.
Submunitions drop the everything bar the hull, warhead and control unit.
Sentinels are immobile mines, with everything bar the stutterwarp.
Launch bays,
dispensers etc.
Launch bays for
missiles have a volume of twice the missiles volume, and a mass equal to that
of the missile. The launch port is equal to 2x the two shortest dimensions
multiplied together (the standard rule). Missiles etc. may be slung, taking
surface area equal to 2x the longest and next longest dimensions multiplied.
Dispensers and
missile packs are designed as a hull, enclosing a number of missile bays.
Comparatively
cheap, light missiles, which can outrun any starship. This favours smaller ships,
especially fighter. It does make combat more like the descriptions in Invasion.
ALL starships should carry drones, and the suggested ordnance loads are at the
end of the document.
Star Cruiser
Missiles
French
Ritage-1 Missile
The French
Ritage missile was the standard design used on all French military craft until
2297, when the Ritage-2 replaced it. Now Ritage missiles are being sold off
cheaply in large quantities and the missile has become quite commonplace. The
Ritage is not a detonation missile. Instead it mounts a single light particle
beam for close-in fighting. French doctrine has not to adopt detonation
missiles when they appeared in the 2270’s, but it has since returned to that
school of thought, and the Ritage-2 is replacing the Ritage-1 on a 1 for 1
basis. It is a fairly small device and easy to construct, so the Ritage is
fairly cheap, and several can be deployed to form a protective screen of
sensors and weapons around the mothership. The price is the original
procurement cost for the MSIF, surplus missile are available for as low as
Lv150,000 each.

The Ritage-2 was
designed with German War experience in mind. French designers tried to build an
exceptionally fast missile, with a large warhead designed to be deployed in
conjunction with sensor drones to provide an exceptionally wide engagement
envelope. The first examples were deployed in 2297, and several other nations
have bought this exceptional weapons system, notably Australia, Japan and
Texas. It has replaced the Ritage-1 on a 1-1 basis, with 16 missiles deployed
to the standard Cruiser or Battleship.

An early
missile, designed in the 2210’s and the standard Argentine missile throughout
the 2nd Rio Plata War. It is essentially an unmanned fighter rather
than a missile, powered by a large fuel cell which can fire the particle beam
continuously until destroyed. The standard refit for all Argentine ships in
light of the 1st Rio Plata was a pack with 2 missiles which could be
deployed to fight well away from the mothership.

The standard
Brazilian weapon during the 3rd Rio Plata war, and the first example
of the modern detonation weapon, it’s success has spawned a huge number of
imitations, with considerable improvements, but even today it’s a fairly
respectable weapon, in the 2270’s it’s appearance was shocking, causing a sea
change in fleet tactics.

A native
Hannoverean/ German missile, this is essentially a back engineered Ritage-1
using less advanced technology equipped with a detonation warhead instead of
the particle weapon. It is used mainly in the interceptor role, equipping the
frigates which are used to defend larger vessels.
