Spaceships: The primary method of transportation, of course. Most spaceships in production are mass-produced by the IGTACC, however, they can be, with the right parts and knowledge, be made by hand or purchased from selective organizations. Spaceships operate on different fuels, such as nitrate plasma, Z_03 or the most expensive and effective neXus. They affect general vehicle performance and handling, but all are acceptable. Nitrate plasma is generally used by passenger transport ships and carriers, Z_03 is used by materials transport ships, warships and those that have to bear a heavy load, and neXus is used by the rich or raceships. Spaceships all have three primary components: Engine, Boosters, and Frame, all which come in different shapes, sizes, and companies.
Engine: the engine operates on the aforementioned fuels, and can be located pretty much anywhere on the frame (IGTACC standard models have the engine located near the bottom, in the back, while larger ships will have it at the center, for example). The power of an engine is measured in hyperjoules, or hj. A standard IGTACC one-person ship will have two-hundred hj-power, enough to move at twice the speed of light operating in hyperphonox mode (two-hundred hj is one hyperphonox, four-hundred is two, and so on). Otherwise, ships move at a speed much like cars moved in the twentieth century on Earth, slightly faster and much more efficiently of course. So, two-hundred hj will be around one-hundred horsepower, the peak of a standard ship (they rarely operate at such speeds in urban environments). IGTACC Engines are produced by Crystal, Inc,and come in several models: the basic engine most crafts will be using preview.turbosquid.com/Preview/2012/08/28__01_17_37/frame_01.jpg20b0c205-fa5b-483a-8c33-b8c8dff333faLarge-1.jpg which operates on a 200-230hj nitrate plasma, and is pretty sturdy and reliable. More advanced engines are also produced by the Crystal, Inc., however, those who can afford it can also have engines be tailor-made. Ships have a block system which, in an urban environment, greatly reduces the speed of space-ships, as regulated by the IGSD Speed Parameters.
Frame: Frames take on any shapes and sizes, and can be custom made. Standard frames vary from ship model to ship model. Frames are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, damage (whether from collision or lasers), and depending on the ship model, to be aerodynamic or especially sturdy. Frames are usually made of a particular blend of carbon fiber and titanium alloy. Material varies depending on the ship model and specifications, of course.
