Topic: Newbie lost in space o.O

:mrgreen: Yo folks and fellow space skippers!  :mrgreen:

I finally seem to get this star thingies going.
Had StarmadaX/Brigade on  the shelf for far to long. Time to break 'em out of orbit.

But... In the Excel-sheet provided [sxca.xlt], what am I supposed to put in the orange fields of Technology Levels.
Yeah, silly, right, and I've probably seen it already, but I'm the newbie, so I can... :geek:

Re: Newbie lost in space o.O

They reduce and increase the SU of tech and weapons. A ship with high tech levels will be able to fit more weapons, shields etc because they will cost less SU. Conversely, a low tech ship will be able to fit less because they will cost more SU.

They're great for campaigns with advancement. Leave them blank until you've played a few games though. We don't use them much as we can get plenty of variation without them.

Re: Newbie lost in space o.O

Right! Thanks.

And I did off course find with some index digging...  :oops:

But then I got a more serious problem.
When I use the ship calculator for Starmada X the "Combat Rating" of, as an ex, New Jersey-class battlecruiser ends up at 64 points, but the actual stat sheet say 243. What didn't I do?
Disregard the "2" in the aforementioned Technology Levels field...

Re: Newbie lost in space o.O

Your "to-hit" values are incorrect. They should be "3+" and "4+" instead of 3 and 4. The sheet isn't calculating properly because it can't find "3" and "4" in cells V14:W18.
