Space Ship Design Redux

Here's a couple of different small craft set up for ship creation for In Harm's Way: StarCluster. Subtract tonnage from the total, and add troops and officers. When you can't subtract any more, you are done.

Light Fighter
A 15-ton single person craft with pilot station and no pressurization, The pilot is presumed to be in armor or pressure suit for the entire flight.
Hull
Monocoque hull with wheeled landing gear, lift surfaces for maneuvering in atmosphere, supplementary oxygen for pilot, tight-beam MASER and radio communications, and bubble-topped pilot station = 0.33 Tons
Hull Armor
Factor 1 armor = 0.75 Tons
Factor 2 armor = 1.5 Tons
Factor 3 armor = 2.25 Tons
Factor 4 armor = 3 Tons
Factor 5 armor = 3.75 Tons
Factor 6 armor = 4 Tons
Lift Surfaces
For maneuvering in atmosphere = 0.15 Tons
Drives
6G thrust, plus 24 hours M/AM fuel = 3.75 Tons
7G thrust, plus 24 hours M/Am fuel = 4.0 Tons
8G thrust, plus 24 hours M/AM fuel = 4.5 Tons
9G thrust, plus 24 hours M/AM fuel = 4.25 Tons
10G thrust, plus 24 hours M/AM fuel = 5.25 Tons
Scan
Standard Scan Array = 1 ton
Shields
Standard Shield Package Factor 3 = 0.25 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 4 = 0.3 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 5 = 0.4 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 6 = 0.5 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 7 = 0.56 Tons
Weapons
In-Line Pulse Laser = 3 Tons
Pylon mounted M/AM Missile = 0.25 Tons
Pylon mounted M/AM Torpedo = 2 Tons
In-Line Laselet= 1 Ton
Drone Lure = 0.5 Tons
Troops
1 Pilot, either officer or crew
Stealth and Miscellaneous
Each factor decreases chance of detection by 1 Small Penalty, and increases damage by 1 Small Bonus.
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 1 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 2 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 3 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 4 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 5 = Zero Tons

Small Rider
A 100-ton craft with cabin pressurization.
Hull
Monocoque hull with wheeled landing gear, lift surfaces for maneuvering in atmosphere, docking spur, loading ramp, HVAC, tight-beam MASER and radio communications. = 1 Ton
Hull Armor
Factor 1 armor = 4 Tons
Factor 2 armor = 8 Tons
Factor 3 armor = 12 Tons
Factor 4 armor = 16 Tons
Factor 5 armor = 20 Tons
Factor 6 armor = 24 Tons
Lift Surfaces
For maneuvering in atmosphere = 0.8 Tons
Drives
1G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 9 Tons
2G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 13 Tons
3G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 17 Tons
4G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 21 Tons
5G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 25 Tons
6G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 29 Tons
7G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 33 Tons
8G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 37 Tons
9G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 41 Tons
10G thrust, plus 100 hours M/AM fuel = 45 Tons
Factor 1 Jump Drive = 9 Tons
Scan
Standard Scan Array = 1 ton
Shields
Standard Shield Package Factor 1 = 0.4 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 2 = 0.8 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 3 = 1.2 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 4 = 1.6 Tons
Standard Shield Package Factor 5 = 2 Tons
Weapons
In-Line Pulse Laser = 3 Tons
In Line Cogar = 8 Tons
In Line Missile Launcher with 8 CG missile magazine = 5 Tons
Missile Pod with 8 GG missile magazine = 7 Tons + 1 crew
Laser Pod = 5 Tons +1 crew
Pylon mounted M/AM Missile = 0.25 Tons
Pylon mounted M/AM Torpedo = 2 Tons
Torpedo in weapons bay = 2.2 Tons
Drone Lure = 0.5 Tons
Troops
1 officer
Squad Troops = 10 tons + 10 troops
Stealth and Miscellaneous
Each factor of EM Coating decreases chance of detection by 1 Small Penalty, and increases damage from energy weapons by 1 Small Bonus.
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 1 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 2 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 3 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 4 = Zero Tons
EM Absorptive Coating Factor 5 = Zero Tons
Reflective Plasma Shaper = 1 Ton
