[FT] Ship designs

Two innovations from the Alarishi naval architects:

Q-Ship Module
Displacement: 1400 tonnes<br>
Cost: 550 MUcr<br>
Hull Type: Frail (Integrity 1)<br>
Crew:  1 officer, 12 ratings (Crew Factor 1)<br>
Armament: 2 x Salvo Missile Racks, 1 x Class 2 Beam (6 arc)<br>
Defenses: none<br>
Sensors suite: 1 fire control system<br>
Drive systems: Drive rating 1, sufficient to power on-board systems<br>
Comment: Designed to fit the standard 1400 ton cargo module, the Q-ship
modules are intended to provide civilian shipping with an easily
installed
deterrent to attack.  While too fragile for normal military duty, they
permit a productive merchant fleet to be utilized as a defensive reserve
if
needed.<br>
Variations: 1 x Fighter bay + 2 x Class 1 beam; <i>or</i> 2 x Class 2
beam
(6 arc) + 5 x Submunition Packs<br>
Building: Classified<br>
