Thanks. I forgot the multipliers for Anti-Fighter & Fighter Exclusive. (28*.78=21.84 or 22) :oops:

Dan,
Re: Probes.
If you maintain that they have a DRAT of 0.8 (Not in the Klingon Armada book)(at least not mine).
Why not re-write it along the lines of:
Probe (Equipment)(May be used as a 360° "One-shot" weapon).
Each Probe takes up 5SU, ORAT as per Divisor below and DRAT of 0.8.

When used as a weapon, use the following game stats: RNG 6. ROF 1, ACC 4+............
----------------
BTW.
Pages 28 & 29. No Multiplier for Double-Ranged Modifiers, ok it is x1.0 but some may wonder.
No Multiplier for Slow-Firing.

Dual-Mode Weapons example, you have used 0.8 for Carronade instead of 0.7. (there is that 0.8 again!)
Overload should therefore have a base of 11.03, Photon torpedo a final Base SU requirement of 23.

Could you please share your calculation for the Tractor Beam having an ORAT of 22? the 0.78 that bekosh mentions would have been applied to the weapon base calculations before rounding up, therefore resulting in 2 either way.
Thanks.
Paul

Once again, the denizens of the forum are right, and Dan is wrong.

Two things happened:

(1) I applied rounding to the tractor beams AFTER applying the (Arcs + 1) multiplier, not before. This is incorrect according to the Core Rulebook (although I have to wonder if the rule should be changed, particularly in the case of really small base SU values).

(2) Early on, probes were going to be seekers, and so a DRAT was included in the spreadsheet I was using. However, after I found out they are direct-fire weapons in SFB/FC, I changed them to direct-fire weapons in Starmada -- but for some reason neglected to remove the DRAT from the spreadsheet.

The bad news is that all of the ships in KA are point-costed incorrectly. The good news is that the difference is VERY minor... a net change of -2.2%. The biggest change is -13 points (the Battle Station goes from 813 to 800 points). And since all the ships are reduced in cost, the relative change is even smaller.

After careful consideration, I'm not going to worry about it. Yes, the values are "wrong", and yes, it's frustrating to those of you trying to recreate the ships on your own -- but in terms of game balance, it's really a non-issue. However, remind me to run the ships from Romulan Armada by you guys first...

Oops, Sorry.
I see what you mean, those combined traits get soooo much use forgot they were there.
I had not thought of it before, since Double Range modifiers changed should the combined range traits be modified?
