Gunboats and Shuttles

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Gunships & Shuttles is a science-fiction supplement for Cepheus Engine and the HOSTILE setting.

Escape pods, lifeboats, shuttles, gunboats and dropships – vital smallcraft that play an important part in the gritty American Sector setting of HOSTILE. Nearly all of the smallcraft featured in the setting are covered here, with write-ups, external views and comprehensive deckplans. Included also are two pieces of shuttle-related fiction and a bonus: 11 pages scanned in from the ICO’s Flight Handbook published in 2178!

The following shuttles and gunboats are included:

  • Neumayer Escape Pod
  • Orchid Lifeboat
  • Nomad Ship’s Boat
  • Sabre Gunboat
  • Starlifter Modular Shuttle (and 10 module variations)
  • Halo Heavy Shuttle (all three versions)
  • Thunderchief Heavy Shuttle
  • Mustang Dropship

“The ICO highly recommends that manufacturers include suitable pods or escape vehicles for their starships; crews need the ability to escape from a ship due to threats varying from destabilised mainframe computers, a hostile exomorph infestation, malfunctioning and psychotic androids or unhealthy space-time paradoxes created by an unsynchronised hyperdrive.”

Section 4, General Operations And Flight Handbook, ICO-845-1-2178-T

PURCHASER
This is an adorable supplement. I love both the Nomad and Starlifter.
The Nomad has a distinct "Aliens Dropship" vibe, and the Starlifter is like a hybrid of the Space: 1999 Eagle and Thunderbird 2.
In pretty much any sf games I run, I take the small craft from this book. In some of the games, the Ship's Boat pilot practically lives out of their Starlifter.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
