Welcome to the starship design system

The Starship Design System is a collection of rules based on Full Thrust allowing for fast and simple ship construction and gameplay challenge.

Hull Design

Construction starts with choosing the size of hull you want to work with. This helps determine the overall cost of construction and gives you a total volume of mass available for fitting ship systems.

Normal Space Drive

The normal space drive is a vessel’s primary means of propulsion.

Main Battery

Warships have a complement of main batteries for ship-to-ship combat.

Faster-than-light Drive

For interstellar travel, ships can be fitted with a faster-than-light drive system allowing entry into jump space or hyperspace.

Screen Generator

Ships with enough mass to spare can be fitted with defensive screening systems that deflect and dampen incoming fire.
