Ship Nomenclature

A little system I use to keep my ship designs in order for quick reference.

Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2015

For those out there who might find themselves scrolling up and down the ship list looking for "that" design your looking for here is a fairly simple nomenclature system I use to make such a task quicker and more efficient.

This a alpha numerical nomenclature system that is easily read and can easily me modified/modeled to your liking

Weapon designations:

B = Beam weapons

M = Missile weapons

D = Driver weapons

Defense designations

S = Shields

P = Point defense

A = Armor

For example if you had a Corvette with harpoons and the 2nd point defense then the name of the design would look something like Corvette M2P2.

you could also add a designation for the engines (E) if so desired.
