Line 89:
* [[Standard Sci Fi Fleet]]: Comes with the territory. All vessels are broken down into three main categories (Fighters, Frigates, Cruisers) by hull type. Where they fit further on in the scale depends on how the player designs and uses them.
* [[Stealth in Space]]: With no explanation given or [[Rule of Fun|needed]].
* [[Tactical Rock
* [[Theme Naming]]: Each faction has ships named after a particular theme. [[The Federation]]'s ships are named after terrestrial animals, the Alliance's fleet is named after aquatic predators, [[The Empire]]'s ships are named after Ancient Roman military terminology, and the Rebels' ships are named after Norse mythology. The Tribe draws their names from terms regarding tranquility and transcendence, the Order has names drawn from the Catholic church, and the Swarm is based on ancient Egyptian mythology. Nomad ships have names that sound vaguely Arabic, and the Parasites take names from taxonomic classifications.
* [[Tractor Beam|Tractor Beams]]: Frigates and Battleships can be mounted with (blue) Tractor Beams, slowing the pesky-deadly fighters down to the point where slow tracking beams and missiles can kill them.
