Software

In many previous space games, we have always assumed the ships computer could just do whatever. Why not, it almost seems that way now. However, what makes this possible is software. In a starship, there are so many types of software that it would be impossible to have all of the types of programs that are available. As players it will be your responsibility to choose the software your ship is equipped with. A list is provided for your reference.
