Topic: Hello

Greetings, I finally got SAE and played my first test battle.  Overall I'm pretty impressed.  I was using a couple of different ships from the ship library (I assume they are all tech level 0 unless otherwise indicated).

I am stumped with the ship builders.  I tried the first 2 in the download section.  The first was just overwhelming with VBAM, nations, etc. 
I tried a different one that was simpler, although I couldn't match some values (I was plugging in a prebuilt EA Hyperion Heavy Cruiser) work.  One weapon had a to hit of 2+ which wasn't in the value ranges and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of the fighter data that came pre-installed.

Can someone give a Noob some tips.  Can I just use the prebuilt ships found in the file section?  I'm not dying to make an entire fleet on my own.

Re: Hello

The ships in the downloads section are just as valid as any other.  Also check the Bourbaki Basin sub-forum, there's a wealth of player designed ships you can play with there as well.

Hello, if you have any problems with the shipbuilders just ask, I am sure we all do not mind.
That would be the shipyard that you found overwhelming, one reason that I put the guide with it.
I have tried to keep the guide as simple as possible for anyone new to Starmada.
The idea is to keep one sheet for each "Nation".
The sections for Victory By Any Means can be ignored, they have no impact when making ships just for Starmada.
