To use this system you will have to label (or name) your ships (and stations) using only the capital letters from the classification list below as follows. Everything in this section will apply to all ships.

Class Size/Class Type-Production Number (try to fit at least 4 digits for production number)

• Civilian = no weapons of any kind. (These can be transport, miner, repair, construction, and production type vessels and Stations.)
  
• Operations = only gatling (external), and interior turrets (inside) allowed. (These can be carrier, production, and drone control type vessels and stations.)
  
• Military = all weapon types allowed. (These are any type of vessel or station not covered by the above types.)

Max size is in large block format (5 small blocks = 1 large)(high x wide x long)

• Drone = no cockpit (max size 3x5x5) (will add "D" to begining of class label)
  
• Scout = 1 crew (high speed, long range, no armor, no weapons, max size of 3x5x5)
  
• Miner = 1 crew (heavy armor, short range, drills, max sioze of 3x5x5)
  
• Fighter = 1 crew (light armor, high speed, short range, gatling guns, max size of 3x5x5)
  
• Bomber = 1 crew (light armor, high speed, short range, rocket launchers, max size of 3x5x5)
  
• Corvette = 1 crew (heavy armor, high speed, short range, gatling guns, rocket launchers, max size of 3x5x6)
  
• Gunship = 2 crew (heavy armor, high speed, short range, gatling guns, rocket launchers, torpedo weapons max size of 3x5x6)
  
• Shuttle = 2 crew, 2-8 passenger (heavy armor, high speed, short range, no weapons, max size of 3x5x7)

Large Ship/Station Classes

• Drone = no cockpit and under 1mil kg
  
• Light = under 1mil kg
  
• Medium = 1mil kg - 10mil kg
  
• Heavy = 10mil kg - 25mil kg
  
• Super Heavy = 25mil kg - 50mil kg
  
• Capital = 50mil kg - 100mil kg
  
• Super Capital = above 100mil kg
  
• Station = any size so long as static

This is the basic layout for JESE large ships (most are able to carry at least 1 other ship inside). This is a guide to show what is needed in each ship (not all categories will be needed nor all items in all categories).

• Nav deck (sticks out of the ship surrounded by glass [front, sides, top, parts of rear])
  
• Engineering (located near rear center of ship, contain main reactors [large])
  
• Command (located behind and below nav deck)
  
• Medical (with 4 med bays, 4 cryo units, 8 beds, and 2 quarantine rooms)
  
• Flight deck (is where all ships enter and leave hangers)
  
• Flight control (controls hanger, flight deck doors, and the flight deck)
  
• Dock control (controls the docking systems both inside and outside of the hangers)
  
• Production (is where your refineries, arc furnaces, assemblers are found)
  
• Cargo (located below main engineering)
  
• Observation (optional, dependent on ship)

• Nav deck (is placed behind some sort of armor [vent style windows] below main nav deck so front is dropped back 1 block space)
  
• Engineering (located toward front of ship [placement of this is dependent on ship], contains back up reactors [small])
  
• Command (located in front of main engineering surrounded by armor)
  
• Medical (is 1/2 of main medical, located near hanger)
  
• Flight deck (is used for larger ships that can not fit in main flight deck)
  
• Flight control (is armored and not able to see the area it is controlling)
  
• Dock control (is armored and not able to see the area it is controlling)
  
• Production (is where you can access any production or cargo for use in repairs of ship[s], is located near hanger)
  
• Cargo (1/2 size of main cargo located at opposite end of ship near top or one side)
  
• Observation (optional, dependent on ship)

• Nav deck (is placed deep inside the ship connected to front of 3rd command)
  
• Engineering (located toward bottom of ship [placement of this is dependent on ship], contains batteries [emergency power])
  
• Command (is placed deep inside the ship surrounded by armor)
  
• Medical (is 1/2 of main medical, located near external docking or second hanger)
  
• Flight deck (is located on the outside of the ship)
  
• Flight control (is part of 3rd command)
  
• Dock control (is part of 3rd command)
  
• Production (is where you can access any production or cargo for use in repairs of ship[s], is located near external docking or second hanger)
  
• Cargo (1/2 size of main cargo located at opposite end of ship near bottom or opposite side of 2nd cargo)
  
• Observation (optional, dependent on ship)

This is a guide to show the basic layout (positions) for each item in a JESE large ship. Not all parts will apply to all ships.

• Hangers are meant to be inside the ship but are dependent on ship design and should have some sort of 0g flight deck nearby that has direct access to outside.
  
• Command staff quarters near the top rear of the ship (windows) and be connected to the back of the main command deck below the level of the nav deck.
  
• Officers quarters should be located to the sides of the command deck below the level of the nav deck.
  
• Crew quarters can be located in any of the other unused areas of the ship.
  
• Command staff mess should be located between the 5 command staff quarters.
  
• Officers mess hall should be below the main command deck with access to the officers quarters.
  
• Crew mess. If there is 1 it should be located behind the main medical center. If there is a second it should be located at the opposite end of the ship.
  
• Escape pods can be the crew quarters them selves.
  
• Brig should be near the bottom center of the ship away from everything else.
  
• Briefing rooms. If there is 1 it should be near the command deck. If there are 2 the second should be at opposite end of ship near the hanger (s)(for flight crew and pilots).
  
• Science lab should be near the hanger above or below the main medical center.

I hope this guide helps. If any one has questions or editing suggestions please leave a comment. This guide was created during construction of my fleet command carrier and is based off of it. This guide is adaptable for use in smaller ships as well (just skip the parts that don't apply to your ship).

Guide finished and posted on my 31st birthday (03-11-1984) (date of posting 03-11-2015).
