HS-SYSTEM-TYPES

HSpace currently supports the following types of engineering systems. Most are recommended for the common space vessel.

• Life Support  : Supplies life support to people on the ship.
• Engines  : Moves the ship (possibly afterburn)
• Jump Drive  : Allows the ship to travel in hyperspace
• Warp Drive  : A StarTrek style warp drive system
• Fuel System  : Provides fuel storage and allocation for the ship.
• Reactor  : Provides power for the ship's engineering systems.
• Fore Shield  : Protects the front of the ship.
• Aft shield  : Protects the aft of the ship.
• Starboard Shield: Protects the starboard side of the ship.
• Port Shield  : Protects the port side of the ship.
• Maneuv. Thrusters: Allows the ship to turn/maneuver.
• Sensor Array  : Provides the ability to sensor sweep.
• Internal Computer: Provides power to consoles and ship logic.
• Cloaking Device: Provides the ability to hide ship from sensors.
• Tachyon Sensors: Provides the ability to counter the effect of cloak.
• Damage Control: Provides the ability to repair systems in flight.
• Comm. Jammer  : Provides the ability to block comms within its range.
• Tractor Beam  : Provides the ability to tractor/repulse/hold other ships.
• Fictional Sys : Allows an admin to add a system and give it any name he/she likes and set optimal power, usefull for soft- coding extra effects, no hardcode effects.

It is important to note that the absence of port and starboard shields leaves the fore and aft shields to protect the entire ship. Thus, the starboard and port shields are not required to fully protect the ship, though they may be desired for added flexibility.

System names can be abbreviated for any @space commands.
