Designer's Notes
First a big thanks to Jon Tuffley of Ground
Zero Games for creating Full Thrust and all the
wonderful miniatures that go with it. Also thanks to the members of
the FT Playtest mailing list for their work in designing and reviewing
most of these ships.
These pages and the resulting designs are the work of many
people, most of which are identified below, any omissions and errors are
unintentional.
GZGverse Background:
The time period covered by most of these designs for Human
ships is the Xeno War. Aliens have invaded Human space and battles
between the Human factions have diminished as they focus on this outside
threat. There is a new wave of ships being designed and built using
the lessons of the past plus some changes in doctrine so they can better
battle the Kra'Vak, the main invaders of Human space.
To counter the Kra'Vak's greater maneuverability, many
Human ships have higher thrust and weapons with wider arcs than in the
past. Because the Kra'Vak weapons ignore screens and make armour
less effective, new Human ships use fewer screens and less armour.
Ship designs are most often improved versions from what
was seen in the Fleet Books. Each fleet should have a very
similar feel to the Fleet Book version, but with some
updates. These designs are not optimized and they still have some
flaws because everyone using cheesed out perfect ships would be no fun.
