Equipment Usage
- Civillian
- CODENAME
Standard VHF Loadout:
- 2 CP-l "Debilitator" Civilian Improved Mk II Pulse Cannon
- 4 Class 10 (Codename) or Civilian Class 9 Guns
- Mini Razor Torpedo
The FTC's Weapons and Equipment are supplied by the Akadis Deep Space Research Team (which is not affiliated to FTC in any way), and funded primarily by the Commander.
Escort Fleet
Fighter Wing:
The Freelance Wing of Fighter Escort Craft, Responsible for the Protection of the Train Transport ships, and defending them at all costs. The Escort Wing is comprised mostly of The CTE-6000 Civilian Very Heavy Fighter & The Raven's Talon VHF.
These ships are generally equipped with 2 CP-l "Debilitator" Civilian Improved Mk II Pulse Cannon's and 4 Hull busting Class 9 or 10 Weapons of choice. Generally CODENAME weapons supplied by the Akadis Research Team (Not Affiliated with FTC).
Bomber Wing:
The CTE-19000 Civilian Bomber, also known as the Roc Civilian bomber, is the main Bomber vessel used by the FTC Bomber Escort Wing, chosen for its availability, reliability, and flexibility. Ease of repair makes this ship a must have, as the parts can be easily changed and replaced with parts from the already in use Eagle Very Heavy Fighters.
The main Anti-Gunboat & Defense ships of the FTC, the FTC Roc Bombers are standard equipped with 5 Bomber Energy Cannon Mounts, 1 Supernova Antimatter Cannon, and Train Cruise Disruptor. The Roc Bomber is usually restricted to the Higher Ranking FTC Escort Pilots.
Gunboat Wing:
The Ahoudori - T-833-GB Kusari Explorer, One of the strongest Gunboats available, and available to all Freelancers. With a Great Power core, and strong armor. This ship perfectly matches the needs of the TFC, and so, it is the primary Gunboat of choice for the Free Trade Confederacy Gunboat Escort Wing (Until a later long term contract is established), with 7 Gunboat Turrets and one of the best power cores available on Gunboats in Sirius.
Being one of the most powerful ships at the disposal of the FTC, this class of vessel is allowed only, to Higher Ranking Members in the FTC.
Transport Fleet
Train Transport Wing:
The Main Trader Wing. The most important vessels in the fleet. The Transport Fleet mainly consists of armored CT-73 Civilian Advanced Train Advanced Trains. These are always assisted by Escorts for safety. The Transports are top priority in the Fleet, and must be kept safe at all times.
Pushing the upper envelopes of contemporary engineering, the grandest configuration of the vulnerable "Train" class vessel plays deft host to a chain of incredible mass, threading the fortunes of companies between asteroids and firefights alike with a finesse not easily believed until seen. While weight must be spread somewhat uneconomically to maintain structural integrity, hence the question additional pods, the relative compact nature of the ship belies the sheer tonnage she hauls. As such the vessel is a common sight across the houses, used by all.
Non-Corporate Transport Wing:
These individuals operate under the Independent Trader ID and ID's that restrict cargo capacity. They fly primarily the Border Worlds Transport, but may have otherwise.
The Border Worlds Transport is chosen for its wealthy cargo hold, large availability, handling, neutrality, and ease of repair.
It's speed, Sleekness, and maneuverability Make it a Must have for the small time traders among the FTC.
At a mere price of $41,000,000 Sirian credits, the ship is cheap, and available to all ranks of the FTC.
