... and pass me the ammunition.

Herodom,

I am in the process of statting a starhip carrier, and was wondering: how would you stat a carrier's ability to refuel and refill military ordnance on a starfighter? Assume that the fighter has some weapon with the Charges limitation. I am currently leaning towards simply ruling the carrier as a suitable location to restore charges, much the same way as a base. Anyone can come up with an alternative?

[Trebuchet]

That's a perfectly reasonable way to do it, Solomon. An aircraft carrier is really more of a mobile airbase than a vehicle anyway.

There is an aircraft carrier in TUV IIRC but I don't remember how they did aircraft refueling.

[Lightray]

You could purchase the Charges as Recoverable, and then define the carrier as the means of recovering the charges.

[Demonsong]

I think I an going to have to disagree with Lightray here. A recoverable charge is recoveraable in combat.

That is how I would do it and that is how it looks like it is done in Star Hero.

I'd rule the same as the case for most guns on a ship that use charges. Lasers can be recharged, gauss guns loaded from central stores. Missiles and fuel need to be resupplied from a tender ship, however.

Thank you all for the feedback. :)
