I recently found out about new game in development named 'Precursors' (sound familiar  ).
But I can't find out much about it. The best info I found is here: http://www.pcgameworld.com/game.php/id/2684/Precursors/
So, does anyone maybe knows is it connnected to SC series?

Unfortunately, 'precursor' means forerunner or predecessor and it's commonly used in a lot of sci-fi stories in one form or another.
Halleck, please put in docking computers that play classical music in your elite game. It won't be an elite game without it.

If it's the version of the manual I think it is, I wouldn't trust it.
There are quite a few mistakes in there, such as giving the Lion an extra turret.
Also, you won't get information on the Turner, Targoid Warship, Long Range Cruiser and the Lynx Bulk Carrier. I think that the best course of action is either use the shipyard or go to sites such as Sirocco station. The person who did the shipyard there is quite bored with the mistakes in the manual, so I think it doesn't have a lot of mistakes and it gives information on the ships that the manual (mostly for story purposes) doesn't talk about. The only thing at the moment that I noticed it didn't tell is the mass fully laden. I think that mass fully laden is the Internal capacity (no drive) with the weight of the standard drive-system added. I copied over a list with details of all the different drive systems from the site.
Drive Price Weight Max Jump-Fuel Range Value Money Value
C1 7200 Cr 10 t 1 t 30 ly/t 42 mly/Cr
C2 13500 Cr 25 t 4 t 48 ly/t 89 mly/Cr
C3 27000 Cr 45 t 9 t 60 ly/t 100 mly/Cr
C4 54000 Cr 80 t 16 t 60 ly/t 89 mly/Cr
C5 108000 Cr 150 t 25 t 50 ly/t 69 mly/Cr
C6 216000 Cr 250 t 36 t 43 ly/t 50 mly/Cr
C7 432000 Cr 400 t 49 t 37 ly/t 34 mly/Cr
C8 864000 Cr 600 t 81 t 32 ly/t 22 mly/Cr
The only drive that's not listed is the interplanetary drive. That one weighs 4 t and for as far as I remember (which isn't much since I hate to be seen in an orbital shuttle) it acts like a class 1 hyperdrive, except it's cheaper, smaller and can't take you trough hyperspace.
I suggest you give it a try.

) I'll see if I can come up with some ships. If I can get some decent looking ones, I'll see if I can give them to you somehow. I'd love to help in any way I can (just don't ask me to program, since the only thing I seem good at is making a mess of things). That said, good luck with it, Halleck!
