Topic: The Eratran Cluster

The purpose of this setting, which started out around two years ago, was a setting that had generic ships where the largest one was hull 10 (basically, a pre-SFO fleet-level game). Unfortunately, once I found the ships I'd already done, they were pre-Annex values for some weapons. So I did them again, this time with a bit of size creep (but with most units remaining below 12 hulls) and with some freighters, raiders and space stations. These will be the first stations I've designed, and to be honest I'm not sure how well they've turned out.
