 This page is meant to provide a developer's guide to the general way in which the various factions and races found in the Vega Strike universe should behave and interact.  The information will be useful for general ship balancing, play balancing, and ai programming, and should hopefully be used for all the above in the future.

	The Rlaan will be odd to fight - they won't use missiles, but their capships can outacellerate all of yours, and they like to close and shred at short range. Their top-line small craft will be split into those designed for escort/scout/independent, and those designed to lend special weapons support for capship chase-downs: namely, the Janissary class, which will come in a few variants.

		+	===Cargo Space/Upgrade Considerations===
		+	Keeping in mind the general rule that military ships have little need for additional cargo space, but require plenty of upgrade space (and visa versa for civvy ships), here's some advice:
		+
		+	====Confed====
		+	Military vessels contain cargo space purely for the utility transport facility provided ... it is thus minimal. Room enough for something or someone important, tech scavenge, a covert ops probe, or who knows what ... but that's it.
		+
		+	Bombers will want some additional cargo space for provisions on long range missions (mainly fuel).
		+
		+	====Aera====
		+	Aera ships should be low cargo relative to humans.
		+
		+	====Rlaan====
		+	Assume a slightly higher upgrade capacity in general (due to different, more compact, engine technology), and negligible cargo capacity for all military ships. Remembering that the Rlaan civilians and military aren't the same species.
