Yeah, I asked the same question on the Federation Commander Forum and Steve Cole was like, "we don't know Starmada, but would be willing to publish someone's effort at SFB>Starmada scenarios".
I can work up conversion for the Kzinti Civil War (way easy). I have several of the captains logs. I think that Titan and Unicorn where a Kzinti led Alliance force surprises the entire Romulan 4th Star Legion would make a good RA scenario!
Have you considered approaching one of the game distributors about purchasing the 25 unit lot to make the P-25?
At $29.95, the printed copy of this game is well priced, but I have not interest in buying the pdf version. Where are we in the P25 process?
This is really about all the "Armada" books. What we need is more and better scenarios for the series. One project might be to convert many of the SFB/FC scenarios to KA. Another approach might be to add scenarios to the follow on books. The Kzinti Civil War scenarios from Captains logs 1 and 3 could be converted ship for ship.
The Starmada book contains a good selection of "general" scenarios and it might be worthwhile to reprint them in the next "Armada" book. I have always said that stories sell books and what story could be better than the stories of squadrons and fleets from the SFB 'verse slugging it out.
BTW, are there any rules for "surprise" ie Pearl Harbor in the Starmada 'verse?
If I haven't said it yet, thanks for the all the info. Its a bit overwhelming.
One critique I have is that you overpowered the ships in order to "fit" them in with the Traveller Milieu. I would have thought that the current game engine would cover things just fine.
Thanks for the Massive info! 
Let me digest this and see what other questions I can come up with.
Since these errors were pretty egregious, what can players do about getting corrected copies of the ships?
Has anyone translated any of the Ad Astra Traveller Ships to Starmada?
Has anyone designed some Traveller ships using the Starmada Engine?
Has MJ12 ever thought about doing a joint project with Ad Astra similar to what they are doing with ADB?
Any of the Starfleet Battles General Scenarios can be translated as is to KA/RA.
I am working on a KA/RA variant for Merchant, Pirate, Soldier, Spy. All the Kizinti Civil War scenarios look like they can be played as is.
So there are already a number of options when playing KA and RA. You could even play any of the Mini Campaigns like Pirate Patrol with little or no adjustment.
This game has revitalized starship gaming in our groups. I have always been a fan of simple starship games and I had been running some Starfire with my group and we really enjoyed its ease of play. A few of us are Star Fleet Battles players because we like its level of detail.
Starmada seems to combine the best of both worlds. You can have weapons systems with a variety of effects and even have transporters, boarding parties, and cloaking devices and still finish a game in an hour or two. The only possible down side, is that it is structured for hex based play. I prefer this, but other may find this a problem.
Like Warren above, I have dived into Klingon Armada with both feet and my Kzinti fleet has once again been the terror of the space lanes. I am even working on some house rules integrating legendary officers from SFB, and critical hits from Babylon 5 A Call to Arms.
I wanted to give a shout out regarding the great time we continue to have with the Star Fleet/Starmada series of games. I just picked up Romulan Armada, and a buddy of mine is looking to pick up some Gorn ships. My only challenge seems to be my FLGS getting Starline ships via Warpath. They seem to be flying off the shelves!
We also had a great "generic" Starmada game at our club today. We played a cruiser squadron battle using home brewed ships in about 45 minutes. Great fun and good times! Keep up the good work guys! 
The CSRA Gamers association has a core group of about 6 Klingon Armada players and a few of us that use the game for more general space combat mayhem. Drop me a note if anyone is interested!
