6. 'C' + Crew compliment: normal compliment/maximum capacity, abbreviated as necessary: [ C10k/17.5k ] would be 10,000 normal crew compliment, with a maximum capacity of 17,500 passengers.

7. Auxiliary craft: The number and type of fighters/shuttles carried by a ship: example, [ Am72/Bs72/Dr72/Rp72/Si72/Sn36/Sk72/Ts72/Wd144 ] Would be a ship that carried 72 each of Amicus Am-4, Balsam, Dragonfly, Raptor, SEI, Skye, and Tsunami; 36 Sentry, and 144 Widget.

Put just a '*' in this space if no craft are carried.

8. Escape pods: Put +EP if the ship is so equipped, -EP if not: [ +EP ] would be a ship such equipped.

9. Shields: Use the following chart:
SD* - this ship has no shields
SD1 - this ship uses standard shielding
SD2 - this ship uses Metaphasic shielding
SD2! - this ship uses dual metaphasic shielding
< > around the designation indicated localized shields of that type.
Example: [ <SD2!> ] is a ship equipped with localized dual metaphasic shielding.

10. Hull coating: +CT if so equipped, -CT if not. [ +CT ]

11. Hull armor:
AR* - no hull armor
AR1 - Ablative hull armor
AR1! - Enhanced Ablative armor
AR2 - Ablative series-II armor
AR2! - Enhanced Ablative II armor
AR3/xx - Neutronium armor, followed by the percentage: [ AR3/50 ] is 50 %
AR3!/xx - Powered neutronium armor, followed by the percent: [ AR3!/50 ]

12. Cloaking device:
CL* - this ship had no cloaking device installed
CL1 - a standard cloak is installed.
CL1! - a standard cloak is installed, supplemented by an interphase generator.
CL2 - a temporal phase/cloak is installed.

13. Holomitters: +HO if so equipped, -HO if not.

14. Warp type/warp engines:
WP* - this ship has no warp capability
WP1 - this ship uses standard warp.
WP2 - this ship uses base-design transwarp.
WP2! - equipped with Variable-frequency transwarp
WP3 - Uses Wapp drive
WP4 - Uses PDJD drive
WP5 - Uses forced-intake ramjet transwarp lightspeed propulsion.
Warp engines: after warp type, put a slash and then the following: 'n' for nacelles, 'v' for vents, and then the number of such devices. Ex.: [ WP2!/n2 ] is a two-nacelled VFTW ship. [ WP*/* ] is a ship with no warp capability.

15. Maximum warp/duration: 'MW' + maximum speed to nearest tenth, a ~ added after if an approximation, and a 'w' after that for warp, 'p' for wapp, 't' for transwarp; then a slash, and the maximum duration of the speed in hours, followed by an 'h'; if indefinite, put ( ) around max warp. If the ship has no warp capability, type MW*/*h for these measurements: [ MW40t/96h ] this ship can hold a maximum speed of Transwarp 40 for 96 hours. [ (MW9.9~w) ] This ship can hold approximately warp 9.9 indefinitely.

16. Cruising speed: 'CS' + Using the above scale for maximum speed, write the maximum speed able to be maintained indefinately. Put CS*t if none. Ex.: [ CS35t ] This ship can do transwarp 35 for an unlimited period of time.

17. Maximum impulse: Rounded to the nearest hundreth in fractions of lightspeed, followed by 'c'; then the number of impulse engines after a slash: [ .3c/2 ] this ship can do just under 1/3 lightspeed with two impulse engines.

18. Power source:

19. Sensor range in light-years, followed by 'ly'/ tachyon scan range, followed by 'a' for active or 'p' for passive, or * if none: [ 65ly/25a ] has a 65 lightyear standard sensor, and a 25-lightyear active tachyon grid.

20. Phaser banks: Number total, or front/rear count (t = total, f = forward, a = aft), followed by the phaser type, *t/* if none; [ 40t/XV ] is a ship equipped with 40 total type-XV phaser emitters

21. Disruptors, total/front/rear as desired, and 'g' + type(s) number added after, separated by commas *t/g* if none; [ 102t/g27,g30,g30x,g35 ] is a ship with 102 disruptors, including GLG-27, GLG-30, GLG-30x, and GLG-35 models.

22. Torpedo tubes: 'TB' + number of tubes total/forward/aft as desired, * if none; [ TB53t ] is a ship with 53 torpedo tubes.

23. Torpedo type/capacity: Type of torpedo, '-', and number carried of each, ()=infinite:
TP* - none carried
TP1a - Type one torpedoes carried
TP1b - Type two torpedoes
TP1c - Type three torpedoes

24. ATI tubes: 'AT' + tubes total/forward/aft as desired: [ AT47t ] has 47 ATI tubes.

25. ATI capacity: 'AC' + total capacity of ATIs: [ (AC) ] is infinite missiles.
