You should have told us that Distant Armada Unity is now available on Wargame Vault. There was no mention of it on the Amarillo Design Bureau website either.
I would think that a weapon with the traits Incapacitating and Disruptive would be close enough. Since the Breen weapon ignored shields, you might also add Modulating.
I have always used the same limits for firing expendable ordnance as for firing drones. When even a large ship can fire no more than a handful in each turn, they are less than an unbalancing weapon. However, I agree that letting a weapon fire from a magazine gives a closer simulation of some backgrounds.
Alas, these appear to have been purged from the forum. I do not know if or when I can redo and post them.
Correction,I found them deeply buried.Try these links: http://WWW.MJ12games.com/forum/viewtopi … amp;t=2610 and http://WWW.MJ12games.com/forum/viewtopi … amp;t=2605.
These are a little large, but I hope that they help.
Note that the miniatures for these are available at Ad Astra Games.
A fairly simple way of assuring a diverse fleet is to require that a ship use no more than half of the remaining Combat Rating. For instance, in a 1500 point fleet, you could have a 750 point Superdreadnought, a 370 point Heavy Cruiser, a 190 point Destroyer, and two 95 point Frigates.
My sincerest congratulations. Splendid news.
I may as well put the Relthoza here. I am half tempted to give these ships weapons with the Trait: Continuing Damage, as this would fit the fluff in the original source material, but the statistics would not justify this. Therefore, I am treating these the same way that I have the rest of the ships.
The cloaking devices on Relthoza ships do not work like the cloaking devices in Starmada. They work more like Starmada CountrMeasures and that is what I will give them.

I had intended to get back to these sooner, but spending more time getting acquainted with the game system makes the errors in my first postings easier to see.You may expect some revision as I get the time.
Having left you with three sets of allied ships and only one set of enemies for them to fight, I should rectify this flaw.

Look here: http://www.mj12games.com/forum/viewtopi … amp;t=2610. Finally, I got that URL to work and it will be obvious why these are not in the Bourbaki Basin. Also, this should be useful: http://www.mj12games.com/forum/viewtopi … amp;t=2605.
While it is somewhat late to do so, I would like to give my view on Pivots and OverThrusters. A ship can face any way that you like if it is not in motion. While the rules do not have to comply with the laws of physics; if they did so, then a ship in motion at a constant speed, applying no thrust, should also be able to face any way that they like. As to whether a ship that is applying Thrust to change its' motion should be able to Pivot, I do not much care. It probabably should not, at least in the interest of keeping the rules simple.
None of this helps players using ships from the Armada books. While it is not cited in any of the Armada books, the original source material does contain the rule that a ship must face its' direction of motion. It is true that players may agree to any House Rules that they wish, but if they are choosing to play in a specific Science Fiction background, they might as well comply with its' rules.
Being, for the moment, tired of converting Babylon 5 Wars to Starmada: Fleet Operations, I am going to try my hand at converting the trove of Trek ships found in that format to Starmada: Admiralty Edition. Many of these originated with Tyrel Lohr at Planetside: Ships of the Fleet (http://planetside.firenebula.com.

Ablat takes Damage before you roll for any system. It does not regenerate. Simply cross it off and apply the rest of the damage.
Interceptors roll against their own ship's Shield value. Any Damage scored counts as negative Damage and is subtracted from enemy Damage to the ship. Think of it as temporary Ablat.
Tractor in this source material works much as it does in Armada, but is shorter ranged.

Special equipment: Ablat (1); Agile; CounterMeasures; Drones (1); Marines (2 1); Warp Drive.
Weapons:
Interceptors decline with Hull damage. Roll the appropriate number of dice. Subtract the Defense (less one ) from each dice roll. On a roll of 5 or 6, two Interception points are scored that may be used to negate two Damage points. On a roll of 3 or 4, one Interception point is scored that may be used to negate one Damage point. On a roll of 1 or 2, no Interception points are scored. Obviously, Interceptors work better on ships with low Defense values.
Upon reviewing the source material. I have decided that the Sweden class Frigate does not have enough Interception capability to matter in S:FO terms. Therefore, it has none.

I would be interested in seeing them, if it is not too much trouble. You have done a good job of keeping the flavor of the original ships.
I like playing small campaigns with fictional fleets and those that you have posted do well as a source. Thank you for your effort.
Here's my formula for engine conversions from B5 Wars. Note that the turn cost and turn delay numbers are like fractions in B5W so you need the decimal version to put into the formula below.
[Engine Power] / ["Acc/Dec" Cost]
+
([Engine Power] / [Turn Cost]) / 20
+
(10 / [Turn Delay]) / 20
=
Round to nearest whole number
=
TOTAL ENGINE RATINGI like your formula for conversion. It will yield more satisfactory results on Earth Alliance ships (they will still be slow, but not painfully so) than my existing practice of dividing the Engine Power by the cost of Acceleration. I will revise my Starmada: Fleet Operations conversions on this basis, but it will take a considerable while. I would like
to know why you chose 20 as the required divisor for the Turn Cost and Turn Delay? I am simply trying to understand the reasoning behind the formula.

I have a couple of these freighters and will have the possibility tu use it for the very first time!

The source material says that any armaments on these vessels would be private modifications made at the owner's discretion and expense. As an example, I will give the above vessels a single Weapons Battery.
This will give the Armed Loaded Monarch a Combat rating of 273 CR, a VBAM Cost of 9, and a VBAM Anti-Ship of 5. It would give the Penalized Armed Loaded Monarch a Combat Rating of 195 CR, a VBAM Cost of 7, and a VBAM Anti-ship of 5. Finally, it would give the Armed Unloaded Monarch a Combat Rating of 177, a VBAM cost of 7, and a VBAM Anti-Ship of 5.

Since both Dystopian Wars and Uncharted Seas use similar statistics to Firestom Armada to represent ships, it should be possible to use the same methods to convert them to Starmada. Look at this (http://www.mj12games.com/forum/viewtopi … amp;t=2338) to see a method of conversion that worked for Firestorm Armada and should work for Dystopian Wars.

I was a big Renegade Legion fan in the day. i find it interesting that you are converting CENTURION instead of LEVIATHAN.
More power to ya! Great work, BTW.

Thank You. I do have some old conversions for Leviathan, but these tend to be very large ships. Anything above about 2, 000 CR becomes too clumsy to play with. Yet, if I try to reduce the Leviathan ships to a more appropriate Starmada size, it squeezes the flavor of the background out of them. Further, since I have no other means to post to this Forum than to type them into the computer at the Public Library, such a large ship would take several sessions to post. Therefore, it will be a long time before I get around to posting my Leviathan conversions.
The Centurion conversions are of a reasonable size to play with, and may just as well be used to represent ships (like SFB's "Quari") or ground combat units as they were in the original source material. Now, if I could manage to find where I put my copy of Interceptor, I could give you some useful conversions.
