This plus Searchlights (which we call Targeting to increase its awesomeness) and little zippy ships get to play more.

I use a House Rule where the Special Sensors from VBAM/Starmada can be added to Searchlights. A Passive Sensor I (25 S.U. and *1.1 modification to DRAT) adds 1 Die to the dice pool rolled for a Target-Lock. An Active Sensor I (20 S.U. and *1.2 Modification to DRAT) adds +1 to every Targeting Dice Roll. An Active Sensor II (40 S.U. and 1.4 Modification to DRAT) adds +2 to every Targeting Dice Roll.

An Active Sensor III (60 S.U. and 1.6 Modification to DRAT) adds +3 to every Targeting Dice Roll. Only one Passive and one Active Sensor may be added to any dice pool.

This does make a ship large enough to carry many sensors capable of firing at more ships at longer ranges, but it does eat up a lot of Hull space. It also makes a ship with many sensors quite expensive.

This is a pretty cool idea. I'll definitely have to try it. Another idea is that each commander rolls 3d6. Those results (each taken separately) can boost a ship's engine fire for firing purposes.

These ships need to take the same penalty as ships using Emergency Thrust. The blown Engines wil make it less likely that commanders will routinely use this option. Losing Engines just to have a better place in a sequential firing order would be mostly a desperation tactic.

Re: Regeneration? (10 replies, posted in Starmada)

I like the House Rule that Damage Control and Regeneration during a Tactical Turn and Construction, Repair, Replenishment of Ammunition, and travel outside one's Supply Chain consume Cargo. An entire fleet may be inconvenienced if it must do extensive mending and replacement. It could also be lost if it runs out of Cargo too far away from its' Supply Chain. From a Campaign point of view, weapons using Ammunition become an expensive liability for an Attacking force.

There is no difference but the name between the Renegade and the Overlord versions of this craft. It is just a big gun with an engine and a cockpit for the pilot and the gunner.

Re: Expanded Shield Ratings -- proposed rule (25 replies, posted in Starmada)

I have recently had occasion to convert a few ships to Starmada from a background that used two separate layers of Defense. It seemed reasonable for me to model this by giving these ships two layers of Shields and rolling against each one. To my surprise, when I did the math for this, it turned out to be equivalent to the Expanded Shield Ratings rule. I provide the figures below to anyone who would find them a convenience.

Double Shield Ratings: Probability of Shield Penetrarion.

1, 1: 70%; 1, 2: 56%; 1, 3: 42%; 1, 4: 28%; 1, 5: 14%.

2, 2: 45%; 2, 3: 34%; 2, 4: 23%; 2, 5: 12%.

3, 3: 25%; 3, 4: 17%; 3, 5: 9%.

4, 4: 12%; 4, 5: 6%.

5, 5: 3%.

Expanded Shield Ratings

1: 84%, 2: 67%, 3: 50%, 4: 34%, 5: 17%, 6: 12%, 7: 6%, 8: 3%.

Double Shield Ratings: Expanded Shield Ratings Conversion

1, 1: 2; 1, 2: 3; 1, 3: 4; 1, 4: 4; 1, 5: 6.

2, 2: 3; 2, 3: 4; 2, 4: 5; 2, 5: 6.

3, 3: 5; 3, 4: 5; 3, 5: 7.

4, 4: 6; 4, 5: 7.

5, 5: 8.

Topic: Miscellaneous VBAM Ships (1 replies, posted in The Admiralty Edition)

I was re-reading my copy of Victory By Any Means: Campaign Moderator's Companion when I saw these and decided that they needed Starmada Statistics.

This was the illustration on page 7 and several of them were engaged in battle on page 76.

Hull (1, 3, 5): 9 8 7* 6 5 4* 3 2 1

Special Equipment: Armor Plating; Cargo (100); Critical Hit Save (4+); Damage Control (3 Dice). This has 5 Space Units left.

VBAM Statistics:

Cost: 12, Maintenance: 5/3 ~ 2, Defensive Value: 7, Anti-Ship: 19, Anti-Fighter: 3, Command Rating: 6, Command Cost: 3; Gunship.

While I would roll the weapons in Battery T individually, the HJ and IK Batteries are so large that if I were firing all of them at the same target, I would treat them statistically. That is to say that I would count 16 Force Beams firing at the same target as causing 21 Impact at Range 5-6, 32 Impact at Range 3-4, or 42 Impact at Range 1-2. Against a Level 4 Shield, this would give 7 Damage at Range 5-6, 10 Damage at Range 3-4, or 14 Damage at Range 1-2. These figures have been rounded down, but a little less Damage is worth avoiding all those Dice Rolls. If the target being fired upon has CounterMeasures as well as shields, then you would have 10 Impact and 3 Damage at range 5-6, 21 Impact and 7 Damage at Range 3-4, or 32 Impact and 10 Damage at Range 1-2.

The following ship was illustrated in an Attack Group on page 71.

Missle Frigate (80 CR) All systems are TL +4 (*.50 S.U.).

Hull (1, 3, 5): 3 2 1.

Engines (1, 2): 8 6 3.

Somehat inconsistantly, but in line with the source material, this is counted as having a crew of only 1 Person.

Sewage Processing Equipment is a House rule system that takes 10 % of a ship's Space Units (as adjusted by Tech Level). If a ship with Sewage Processing Equipment is in a Fleet, it increases the productivity of any Farm Bays in the Fleet by 50 % (Round up).

This ship has been heavily modified to serve as a Reconnaissance ship. If it is actually to be used as a Scout, replace Sewage Processing with Sensor Arrays.

The Tender Capacity should be occupied by two Flotillass of Vipers and one Raptor Flotilla.

Recycling and Recovery Equipment is a House Rule that uses 10 % of the ship's Space Units ( as modified by Tech Level). If such a ship is in a Fleet, the Cargo used by each ship in that Fleet during each Strategic Turn is reduced by half (rounding up).

The only reason that this ship is so heavily defended, is that it had more room left over for Weapons Batteries than I expected.

Which source material are you using? And this would be wonderful to add to the Bourbaki Basin, under two threads -- the BSG stuff is particularly timely, since I'm starting an RPG campaign set in that universe, but I never would have noticed this if I hadn't happened to check out what you'd done to the Traveller ships.

I am mostly using the Wikipedia entry: List of Ships in Battlestar Galactica,Battlestar Control Forumhttp://www.battlestarcontrol.com/forums … c.php?p=21, and whatever comes up on the Internet when I search the name of the ship. The rest of it is adapted from Power Projection: Fleet from Ad Astra Games with imagination added whenever information is lacking.

As this is a very House Rules version of Starmada and could not be properly put into Drake Notation, I did not choose to post it to the Bourbaki Basin.

I am glad that you find this useful to your Campaign.

This ship is listed by name in the source material, but it does not say whether it is a Government vessel or belongs to a private security firm. it is plainly stated that this is the only large ship in the Refugee Fleet, other than the Battle Star, armed with missles.

I have found an error in my calculations. I have been calculating the Space Units for the Kinetic Blaster as though it had the Trait: Carronade, but I have not been listing the Trait: Carronade in the Data Card for the ship. It seems easier to insert the Trait: Carronade into the Data Card, than it does to re-calculate all the ships. Besides, it does give the Refugee Fleet a slightly different flavor than their enemies.

370 Persons plus those in any converted Cargo Pods.

The ship in the source material had more Cargo Pods, but I could not manage to put them on a ship and have it smaller than the Battle Star. Perhaps, you should consider the extra Cargo Pods to have been removed when the ship was retro-fitted with Defensive Batteries.
