+ | The proper categorization of SHIPs is under constant debate. Many space powers loosely base their classification on naval classes, using relative size and general function as guidance. The most important rule is, of course, "Everyone is the Boss of Their Own Toys" and can use whatever method of classification they please. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here are a list of common classes you can use for inspiration, going roughly from smallest to largest. | ||
+ | |||

+ | | Fleet flagship | ||
+ | |} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The terms "Heavy" and "Light" are often used as well. Heavy typically indicates that a ship is used in a role above its size class. Light typically indicates that a ship is slightly smaller than its functional class. For example, a Heavy Corvette or a Light Destroyer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Keep in mind that these classes are by no means exclusive to SHIPs. There are many cruisers, battleships, etc, that measure less than 100 studs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Use of SHIPs in Brikwars== | ||
+ | |||
+ | SHIPs are typically 30" or more in length, armored at 3d10 or 4d10, and heavily armed with Super Death Lasers, small turrets, and large missiles. This makes them both formidable and unwieldy on the battlefield. To properly field a SHIP, one must also field an effective crew. A large Gunnery team is necessary to operate massive weapons with very high skill ratings or hit multiple targets with an array of smaller weapons. Teks and Engineers are also useful to add flexibility to the SHIP's capabilities. An internal security crew is also a must, as a SHIP is often more of a flying fortress than a vehicle combatant. Opponents will attempt to take the SHIP down from the inside and then steal it, so it is important to repel boarders. Most SHIPs will serve a multifunctional role in battle, so balance large weapons with smaller ones, and fill in the functional gaps with support vehicles. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When playing against a SHIP, use small sizes and numbers to your advantage. Make hit and run passes, staying just outside the SHIP's range, and use missiles to damage large areas and knock out weapon systems. As mentioned above, boarding a SHIP can be an effective tactic, especially if the opponent is underprepared. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==List of ASHIPs== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ASHIPs, or Almost SHIPs, are space warships measuring 90-99 studs in length but serve in an equivalent role to a 100 stud SHIP. This distinction is negligible, separating ASHIPs from SHIPs by only one or two inches, but it exists because Space AFOLs are a bunch of [[Anorak]]s. | ||

A SHIP is:
- 100 or more studs in length
- Minifig scale
- Designed for space travel
It is a badge of honor for any human to be able to field a SHIP in battle.
SHIP Classes
The proper categorization of SHIPs is under constant debate. Many space powers loosely base their classification on naval classes, using relative size and general function as guidance. The most important rule is, of course, "Everyone is the Boss of Their Own Toys" and can use whatever method of classification they please.
Here are a list of common classes you can use for inspiration, going roughly from smallest to largest.
Class | Function |
---|---|
Corvette | Fast, forward attack Starfighter combat "Hero" ships |
Frigate | Escort/support Capital ship combat |
Destroyer | Capital ship and starfighter combat |
Cruiser | SHIP to SHIP engagement |
Carrier | Transporting starfighters into battle Carriers vary in size a lot |
Battleship | Fleet flagship |
The terms "Heavy" and "Light" are often used as well. Heavy typically indicates that a ship is used in a role above its size class. Light typically indicates that a ship is slightly smaller than its functional class. For example, a Heavy Corvette or a Light Destroyer.
Keep in mind that these classes are by no means exclusive to SHIPs. There are many cruisers, battleships, etc, that measure less than 100 studs.
Use of SHIPs in Brikwars
SHIPs are typically 30" or more in length, armored at 3d10 or 4d10, and heavily armed with Super Death Lasers, small turrets, and large missiles. This makes them both formidable and unwieldy on the battlefield. To properly field a SHIP, one must also field an effective crew. A large Gunnery team is necessary to operate massive weapons with very high skill ratings or hit multiple targets with an array of smaller weapons. Teks and Engineers are also useful to add flexibility to the SHIP's capabilities. An internal security crew is also a must, as a SHIP is often more of a flying fortress than a vehicle combatant. Opponents will attempt to take the SHIP down from the inside and then steal it, so it is important to repel boarders. Most SHIPs will serve a multifunctional role in battle, so balance large weapons with smaller ones, and fill in the functional gaps with support vehicles.
When playing against a SHIP, use small sizes and numbers to your advantage. Make hit and run passes, staying just outside the SHIP's range, and use missiles to damage large areas and knock out weapon systems. As mentioned above, boarding a SHIP can be an effective tactic, especially if the opponent is underprepared.
List of ASHIPs
ASHIPs, or Almost SHIPs, are space warships measuring 90-99 studs in length but serve in an equivalent role to a 100 stud SHIP. This distinction is negligible, separating ASHIPs from SHIPs by only one or two inches, but it exists because Space AFOLs are a bunch of Anoraks.
