It’s mass that’s most often the critical limit on a hull’s loadout, because most fittings require only small amounts of power, yet require free mass on par with weaponry. A ship is often put in a crunch between choosing one more gun or some important fitting. This is a good thing; if a player can fit everything he wants onto one hull, then the hull is too good. For weaponry, be careful about allowed Armor Piercing ratings. For frigate-class ships and smaller, the only weapons that should have any real chance of scratching a cruiser should be big, bulky, and not terribly good in other respects.
It’s best to stay within the ranges for a given class of ships- frigates having 2-10 points of armor, cruisers having 15, and capital ships having 20. For a navy, the process of buying a new warship involves a blizzard of paperwork, requisitions, expenditures, shipyard bookings, and crew projections. The wheels of most military bureaucracies grind slow, and it can be years between the start of construction and the ship’s maiden voyage. Most planetary navies are jealous of their military prerogatives.

A quick eye on the boards prevents any mishap. 3-4 Whether pilot or astrogator, the men and women of the astrogation department keep the ship in motion and on course. If every member of the department is killed or disabled, the ship goes on autopilot, giving it a -2 AC penalty and leaving it incapable of maneuvers until someone with at least Vehicle/Space-0 skill comes to take over. Most command skill checks for this department rely on Intelligence or Dexterity and Vehicle/Space skill.
