A good idea, although they would have to be short-range weapons (RNG 3 and carronade, hmm... :mrgreen: ). You could just max out all the tech levels, 40 SUs is very restricting.
I'm sure a starmada genius like you can figure it out 
Maybe you could do armies like floatillas, with general tech level +2 and lots of marines/teleporters. They might need a new movement system, maybe soomething simple like:
every move ahead takes 1 MP
every turn takes 1 MP
are you using reduced tech levels perhaps? also, some of the new traits are present in the "unofficial" shipbuilders
I really believe that setting determines the nomenclature that is appropriate for the ship's size. I don't think that in a construction-base game that it is possible to "pin" the size to a classification. For example, I can very easily justify having Flotilla Destroyers in one setting, while in another, destroyers are 4-5 Hull each. How 'bout another example? In modern terms a frigate is typically a small vessel relative to contemporaries, but during the Age of Sail a frigate was a major warship more akin to 20th century cruisers, with some being quite powerful.
Cheers,
Erik
I agree with this. In Starblazers, as small ships blow up quickly, I made the destroyers 1-3 hull. One the other hand, in my own imaginary universe, they are always hull 8.
No, I think it is sufficient to make them "normal" weapons as they would not run out of ammo. On the other hand, the wave motion cartridges are seekers.
I have made a couple of modifications to some of the ships which I plan to post soon. If you, being familiar with the universe, see anything else I shoud change please tell me.
I like it! due to time limitations, I would never play with ships that are not my own or in "official" supplements, but I love to read your stuff. Very creative 
I do agree the system needs some revising, I'm not sure that this is the way to go about it.
Coolness! :mrgreen: Have you seen the Starblazers Conversion I did?
For my own imaginary universe conversions, I use this formula, which allows for a good number of marines, a hyperdrive, and boarding pods on every ship, as well as good weapons:
Frigate: 6 (Usually Shields 2, Engines 6)
Destroyer: 8 (2/6)
Light Cruiser: 10 (3/5)
Heavy Cruiser: (3/4)
Carrier: 14 (3/4)
Dreadnaught: 15 (4/3)
Space Station: 20 (4/0)
Also, the alliance system works as follows:
Any faction can fight any other faction.
Star Force and Earth Defense Force Ships may be allied.
Comet Empire and Gamilon Empire Ships may be allied.
Star Force and Gamilon Empire Ships may be allied.
Gamilon Empire and Galman Empire Ships may be allied.
Star Force and Bolar Federation Ships may be allied.
Star Force and Galman Empire Ships may be allied.
The Dark Nebula Empire and Denguil Empire (yet to be released) will never ally.
Eventually, I will also add the Dark Nebula Empire and the Denguil Empire, but I have yet to see The New Voyage or Final Yamato. I may also do the ships from the webcomics (the Bolar Wars: Extended ones are already in there, the Bolar Guraken and Talan's Stealth Ship). I hope you guys like this supplement, and if there's anything you think I should change then let me know.
Finally, the Bolar Federation. They have a +1 in general tech, but lack the +1 weapons tech seen on other races.
The Black Hole Generator on the Bolar Space Fortress works like a weapon with a G arc and a range of 12, that simply places a size two black hole in the space it targeted. Enemy ships may not be in the event horizon when it is fired. It is fired after movement orders are written down, so if an enemy enters it as a result of movement they are destroyed. And the Black hole dissapears in the end phase of the turn after it was fired (and shrinks to a siz 1 black hole on it's second turn of existence).

I've been a longtime fan of Star Blazers, and when I found Starmada I knew it would be a perfect setting to play Starmdad in. First off, the represent how easily ships (Other than "Hero Ships") tend to blow up in the series, all ships have an inherent +1 weapons modifier (with the exception of the Early Earth Defense Force and the Bolar), and non-hero ships (with a few exceptions) have only a 1 in their shields rating.
And a note on Hero Ships, they are within SU confines while assuming a shield rating of 1, but leap beyond them when their shields are increased to 5.
Also, there is a new ability: SMITE. It gives the ships which have it a boost in SUs and points which is equal to a hyperdrive (on top of any hyperdrive the ship might already have). It works like this: an arc of G and a a range of 1. When used, it can target as many or as few ships as the SMITEing player desires. The SMITEer rolls two dice, and the total becomes his "SMITE point total." Then he can allocte his SMITE points amoung any targets he chose as follows: 1 SMITE point will transport 3 fighters, 1 size of a minefield (4 SMITE points to move a size 4 minefield, note that the "target" must be the center of the minefield.), 2 gunboats, or 1 hull of a ship (6 SMITE points to move a hull 6 ship). To move a target it must be completely moved, not partially, but all of the SMITE points do not have to be allocated at the same time (while SMITEing or being SMITEd ships cannot move). A SMITE buildup may be stopped at any time. Once there are sufficient SMITE points to move something, it is transported up to 20 hexes (retaining the same facing) in any direction during the end phase of the turn if the ship SMITEing it is not destroyed by then.
Finally, the ramming rules I developed are in play, as are all other options: When two opposing ships end up in the same hex, they are not automatically seperated. Instead, both players must decide whether they want to attempt to ram the enemy ship. If both players agree, than ramming happens instantly. If one player does not want to ram, but the other one does, the one who wants to ram must roll a 4 or higher for the attempt to suceed. Also, two ships in adjacent hexes could try to ram, but both players would have to agree and a die roll would have to be made for this to happen.
There are two types of ramming: Suicide and Partial. In Suicide Ramming, twice the current hull rating of each ship is subtracted from the hull rating of the other, likely resulting in the destruction of both vessels. In Partial Ramming, one half (rounded up) of the current hull rating of each ship is subtracted from the hull rating of the other, and both ships may transfer as many marines as they want to the other ship.
If two players disagree as to which type of ramming they want to attempt, a coin flip is required to determine which happens. Note that if a player tried to avoid ramming, but failed, they have no say in what type of ramming occurs.

Desslok would approve of your tactics. I would vote for just one type of ramming attack. No idea what would work best, but maybe something as simple as if two ships end up in 1 hex, don't separate them, and one or both ships can declare they are attempting to ram.
Now, for radioactive gas...
Erik
Activate the Cosmo DNA, LOL.
If there was to be only one type of ramming, partial would probably be the way to go. It would also be less of a balance issue as ships would not neccesarily annihilate each other upon impact. And you'd need marines (which cost points) to make it worth the effort.
Not neccesarily, as you have to be right next to a ship to ram it, and the ram-ee could likely avoid that with his manuvering. Plus, it would'nt be hard to shoot down a no-cost ship before it gets you
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
I have been developing this rule for use in the Star Blazers Universe, but it would work with some other settings as well. Here it is:
When two opposing ships end up in the same hex, they are not automatically seperated. Instead, both players must decide whether they want to attempt to ram the enemy ship. If both players agree, than ramming happens instantly. If one player does not want to ram, but the other one does, the one who wants to ram must roll a 4 or higher for the attempt to suceed.
