PTS Meson Watercraft Applied Technology, PTS Meson Watercraft Units (Meson Naval Destroyer, Cruiser, Battleship, and Aircraft Carriers), and Hover Naval Units (Hover Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, and Battleships) and Jump Hover Naval Units (Jump Hover Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, and Lander Carriers) are detailed in this tome.

Meson Naval Destroyer (Brutalizer)

Unit Summary:  Meson Naval Destroyers are not as adept at the ASW and AAW role as a Guided Missile Destroyer, but they have a potent Ranged Space attack making them ideal for protecting against orbital bombardment. Like Ballistic Submarines, Meson Destroyers are very mobile Ranged Space defensive platforms.
Special Abilities: They will attack an enemy landing unit within a 5-hex radius, they do not consume food, and have 2 Cargo Slots.

Meson Naval Cruiser (Exterminator)

Unit Summary: Not as adept at ASW and AAW as their Guided Missile brethren, Meson Naval Cruisers are primarily suited for city defense against orbital bombardment. Like Ballistic Submarines and Meson Destroyers, Meson Naval Cruisers are very mobile Ranged Space defensive platforms.
Special Abilities: They will attack an enemy landing unit within a 5-hex radius, they do not consume food, and have 2 Cargo Slots.

Meson Naval Battleship (Obliterator)

Unit Summary: Not as accurate and potent as their Guided Missile cousins, Meson Naval Battleships have a powerful Ranged Space attack making them ideal for protecting your most important cities from planetary bombardment. Like Ballistic Submarines and Meson Destroyers, Meson Battleships are very mobile Ranged Space defensive platforms.
Special Abilities: They will attack an enemy landing unit within a 5-hex radius, they do not consume food, and have 3 Cargo Slots.

Meson Naval Carrier (Destitutor)

Unit Summary: Meson Naval Carriers are not as effective in the AAW role as their Battle Carrier siblings, but they have a very powerful Ranged Space attack to deter Ranged Space bombardment. Meson Carriers are the most powerful of the highly mobile Ranged Space defensive platforms. They should be placed near key cities to protect them from orbital bombardment.
Special Abilities: When stacked with Air units, the Air units do not use movement as long as they move simultaneously with the Carrier. They will attack an enemy landing unit within a 5-hex radius, they do not consume food, and have 4 Cargo Slots.

Hover Frigate (Thunderbolt)

Unit Summary: With exceptional Air and Close combat abilities, Hover Frigates can weed out aircraft and infantry units paving the way for the more powerful hover units.

Hover Destroyer (Annihilator)

Unit Summary: With exceptional Direct and balanced Indirect and Air firepower these units are well suited for taking out armored units.
Special Abilities: Has 2 cargo slots.

Hover Cruiser (Eradicator)

Unit Summary: Having excellent Air attack capabilities and competent Indirect and Direct capabilities make these units particulary suited for almost any offensive.
Special Abilities: Has 2 cargo slots.

Hover Battleship (Armageddon)

Unit Summary: Hover Battleships are awesome assault platforms. They have incredibly potent Indirect and moderately potent Direct weapons as well as a defensive anti-air grid. They can smash through stacks of armor easily.
Special Abilities: Has 2 Cargo Slots.


Jump Hover Frigate (Irradiator)

Unit Summary: This modification at a Starport transforms the agile Hover Frigate into a Jump-capable space vessel that has accurate Direct and Close Space weaponry. This modification, however, disables the unit's ground hover capability; so upon setting down upon another world, should be disbanded back to a Hover Frigate to engage enemy forces on the ground.
Special Abilities: Has 2 Cargo Slots.

Jump Hover Cruiser (Galactic Rift)

Unit Summary: This modification at a Starport transforms the massive Hover Cruiser into a Jump-capable space vessel that has balanced Ranged Space, Direct Space, and Close Space weaponry. This modification, however, disables the unit's ground hover capability; so upon setting down upon another world, should be disbanded back to a Hover Cruiser to engage enemy forces on the ground.
Special Abilities: Has 4 Cargo Slots.

Jump Hover Battleship (Black Hole)

Unit Summary: Like the Hover Frigate, Destroyer, and Cruiser modifications, this modification to Hover Battleships enables them to travel the jump gates with an impressive array of Ranged Space as well as adequate Direct Space weapons. This modification, however, disables the unit's ground hover capability; so upon setting down upon another world, should be disbanded back to a Hover Battleship to engage enemy forces on the ground.
Special Abilities: Has 4 Cargo Slots.

Lander Carrier (Sanctuary)

Unit Summary: Lander Carriers are the ultimate aircraft deployment platform. They are able to traverse the vastness of space with their jump drives, have respectable defensive weaponry when in transit, and can land on a planet safely with their advanced propulsion system. On the ground they have an exceptional anti-air capability.
Special Abilities:  This unit is Lander movement type, and so will not suffer damage when landing on the ground. When stacked with Air units, the Air units do not use movement as long as they move simultaneously with the Carrier. They do not consume food and have 4 cargo slots.
