Those two forces are fairly balanced and should give you enough options for several battles.
I just noticed that the Federation Dreadnought is missing some Phaser-1's. It should have [GHI][GHI][JKL][JKL] added to the X battery.
The overloaded photon has both carronade and doubled-ranged modifiers so the .8 is correct per the chart in C.4.1 in the Rules Annex.

Yes, you did... IF shuttles were considered normal "dual-mode" fighters. They are not -- they may select one of two modes at the time of launch, so they are different. I arbitrarily set the value at 3 'cause I can.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried computing the size of a shuttle and came up with 4 instead of 3:
Seeker: 16 x 4 x 4 / 6 / 4 = 10.7
Boarding Pod: 18 x 4 x 4 / 6 / 6 = 8
10.7 + (8 x 0.5) = 14.7
14.7^0.5 = 3.834 rounds up to 4.
Did I figure it correctly.
Very nice! I look forward to seeing the ships of each faction.
I wrote the CDSU material and I have no problem with you updating the ships.
Interesting idea. You'd have to a have a set size for a human and probably some interesting disadvantages (like Superman's aversion to Kryptonite).
Today is also my son's tenth birthday.
2.) Range 30, ROF 2, IMP 3, DMG 5, 3+, Extra Hull Damage, Penetrating, Inverted Range Based Damage. Ammo=1
Would you like some wine with that cheese 
I tend toward fun fleets instead of winnig fleets. They are more interesting.
Actually with continuing damage you are guaranteed hull hits. You always reroll the dice until you get an odd number so every damage point will always result in a hull hit plus possibly system hits.
Page 7 has a new system (Combat Information Center) in the table of build modifiers but I cannot find the rules for how it works.
I created a file for seekers, strikers, and fighters. It's in the files section of hte Yahoo group.
Make overload an optional feature. At the beginning of the turn you'd decide to fire regular or overload. If the weapon was slow firing like the photon you would have to decide the turn before you fired the weapon. If you changed your mind the following turn it would delay the firing an additional turn.
For overload I'd make it X2 DMG but weapon is limited to short range.
On the ship builder teleporters are not affected by tech levels and transport is affected by the shield tech level instead of the general tech level.
Now that's a nice ship.

Weapons in column H on the worksheet for all three batteries are not showing on the data card.
The integrated example (3.4) on Pp 18-19 is contradicting this. On P.18 during the first turn the ship moves 3 hexes, it has a speed of 3- it does not busts its TR, good enough. On P.19 during turn 2 the final movement orders are 2S2 so you add another 4 to your velocity... so according to a 'FT-like' style of movement, your total velocity during turn 2 should be 7 (3 from the previous turn, plus 4 that turn), yet it says the ship only moves 4 hexes.
:?:
Actually on turn 2 the ship is accelrating from 3 to 4 not 3 to 7. The ship is moving 2 forward, turning, then moving 2 more hexes. You don't add your movement plot to the previous move you substitute it. You're thinking it's moving 3 forward, then 2 more forward, turning and moving 2 more hexes. In Full Thrust you record how much thrust you are generating then compute your speed. In SAE you record your move then calculate the necessary thrust.
Turns have no speed. Speed is just the number of hexes you moved on the previous turn or the number of hexes you want to move on this turn.
If all you are doing on turn two is sitting in your hex and turning 2 hex sides your current speed is zero and the manuever would cost 6 thrust (6 + 0).
If you want to move 3 hexes and turn 2 hex sides the thrust cost would be 9 (6 + 3).
I just noticed that the divisor in cell C45 is 10 instead of B10. This is causing too many Z hits on large ships.
For anti-fighter work I'd use a range 12 weapon with area effect (say 3+, 3/1/1). Call it a burst missile. It should take out bunches of fighters.

Technically, it's a *Yahoo* group.....
I confused you with Todd Pote. I don't know why, as he's 'googleplex' here on the forum...
Thanks, it's been a while since I logged into the group. I uploaded the file.
BTW, I'm the better looking Todd :oops:
