Full Thrust: Difference between revisions

* [[Beam Spam]]: The principal attack form for human ships, regardless of faction. Though some fleets deliberately eschew missiles and other 'heavy weapons' to cram in even more Beam Spam ability.

* [[Deflector Shields]]: Called screens. Not all ships can spare the mass to carry them, and there are weapons that ignore them completely, but they can save your bacon against beam-spam attacks.

* [[ISO Standard Human Spaceship]]: A lot of GZG's miniatures lean towards this, but it's still easy to tell which fleet any given ship belongs to.

* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: A speciality of some fleets.

* [[Old School Dogfighting]]: Fighters have to get very close to engage anything, much less other fighters.

* [[Space Fighter]]

* [[Space Is an Ocean]]: Played completely straight in the basic rules, with what's called 'cinematic movement.' Optional vector movement rules provide a partial aversion, but the for the sake of playability, the published rules contain no provisions for three dimensional movement.

* [[Standard Starship Scuffle]]: This game would not exist without this trope.

* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Included in the rules only because it's a generic game and some backgrounds (not Tuffleyverse) include them.

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: A major problem when dealing with the Phalons. Even for other Phalons.

* [[Divided States of America]]: A second American Civil War in the game's backstory briefly went nuclear, leading to Anglo-Canadian intervention and to the formation of the New Anglian Confederation, an amalgamation of the three countries under the British Crown.

* [[Nicknaming the Enemy]]: "Kravs" or "Kraks" for the Kra'Vak, "Shellies" for the Phalons (because of both their outer shells and the vaguely snail-like designs of their starships), and "Spikeys" for the Sa'Vasku (again, for the shape of their ships). There's also at least one mention of Eurasian Solar Union forces referred to as the "Euries" by New Anglian infantry.

* [[Organic Technology]]: The Sa'Vasku don't so much build starships as breed them, while the Phalons use artificially created organic materials the same ways that humans use plastics and metals.
