The Tactical Spectrum was designed to enable three kinds of sci-fi spaceship fantasy, but also to enable dynamic multiclassing. In this way a player can build their ship how they see fit for the run. I was careful to ensure that each archetype contained a defensive stat, an offensive stat, and a utility stat.
