Primitive Spacecraft

[Antony]

So using High Guard 2 I am putting together a TL7 spacecraft. Based on the primitive spacecraft guides I can fit this with Prototype Basic Sensors with +500% cost and I disadvantage or Early Prototype Civilian Grade Sensors at double the displacement, +1000% cost and 2 disadvantages. Using the list of disadvantages given for weapons and screens as a guide I could apply the disadvantages Energy Inefficient and Increased Size but for the Basic sensors which have no power or displacement mods I was thinking that as a disadvantage I could give it either a power consumption of 1 or a displacement of 1 ton. What do people think?

Also what is the correct TL of introduction for pulse and beam lasers as it seems to be different in different books?

I'd follow High Guard as basic reference.

As regards to primitive electronics, you only have an option, extrapolate.

Right, I'll assume HG2 has the correct TLs in the construction section. I'm looking at producing some early vessels for historical background. As for the early electronics I think I'll go with what I suggested.
