mj12games.com/forum → Starmada → Traveller Starmada?
Has anyone translated any of the Ad Astra Traveller Ships to Starmada?
Has anyone designed some Traveller ships using the Starmada Engine?
Has MJ12 ever thought about doing a joint project with Ad Astra similar to what they are doing with ADB?
Look under the topic "Langston Field". I will probably post other House Rules attempts at conversions to Starmada AE here. Those that I have made so far are too far from the normal rules to be put in the Bourbaki Basin. Oddly, I am finding Traveller even more limiting in the choice of weapons than the Armada books.

I seriously looked into designing ships for Trav using Starmada back when I was playing Traveller d20 (since their starship construction rules were kind of bonkers), but was eventually deterred by the ridiculous range of sizes. Starmada's space units only scale as hull^1.3, so to get a range of 100 tons to 1,000,000 tons, I was going to need hull sizes of up to 36, which I found unpalatable. Likewise, the deadly nature of Starmada made the risk of mass-PC-death-by-vacuum-exposure a little too high for my group.

I love traveller. I remember to have replayed some fleet engagements between Imperium and Zhodanis in the 5th frontier war with Starmada X many years ago. And I also remember that it was not easy to include all ship types which are popular in traveller and play on the same scale. For example a 200t Beowulf free trader for my players would nothing be more than an independent gunship or so if it meets an Imperium cruiser. Not very interesting. The solution was not to use the same scale for smaller hulls (AFAIR up to several hundred tons) than for 100kt dreadnoughts. 
This meant creating 1 set of beowulf specs for our rpg and 1 other if the Beowulf was involved in a real naval engagement between capital ships. (to the horror of the players, hehe)
While trying to convert the following ship to Starmada AE, I found that I have made the error of not considering that the Hyperdrives consume Fuel. As this plays a large role in Traveller's Strategic considerations, I shall have to revise my existing Conversions. Also, since these ships spend such a large portion of their Hull Size on things of Strategic, not Tactical, importance, they will always be at a disadvantage against a Starmada ship of more conventional design. Therefore, as I find the time, I will be posting modified Tactical versions of these ships.

I have decided to post my conversion of the Vrapkenchkinj under this Topic before the Topic: Langston Field gets too far buried. People viewing this site would probably appreciate a more handy explanation of how these conversions work.
I am using consumable fuel for the Engines. Think of it as being like Ammo for a Weapon Battery. Fire an Engine, mark off a point of fuel. While a heedless player could run himself out of fuel, he could double an Engine's Thrust just by paying double the fuel and not (if you will let your House Rules be this generous) have to roll dice to see if he has destroyed an Engine by Overload.
I am using the Kinetic/Energy/Ballistic Shields from the VBAM/Starmada books. If rolling for Impact of a Kinetic Weapon against the Shields, use the first figure in brackets. If rolling for Impact of an Energy Weapon against the Shields, use the second figure in brackets. If rolling for Impact of a Ballistic (or Guided, if you prefer the term) Weapon, use the third figure in brackets. The Roman numerals at the right end of the brackets tell you at what Level your Black Globe is.
Black Globes take Damage on the Shield Track. When the Black Globe drops to a lower level, roll any Damage still absorbed above that level against the ship. The asterisks on the Black Globe Track mark the points where Damage is considered to leak. When a Black Globe swallows Damage at these points, mark the Damage against both the ship and the Black Globe. The Black Globe has three settings. Fully on, it absorbs all Damage scored against the ship (including Extra Hull Damage, Double Damage, and Continuing Damage) until it is full (it's Track has been marked off completely). It radiates away no Damage. No Engine Thrust may be used. No Weapon may be fired, nor may anything be launched or recovered. Half on, it absorbs half of the Damage (Rounded Up) scored against the ship. It dumps (removes from the Black Globe Track) an amount of Damage (Rounded Up) dependent on the ship's Hull Size before the beginning of the next turn. Only half (Rounded Up) of the ship's Engine Thrust may be used. The Rate of Fire of Weapon's is halved (Rounding Up) and so are Launch and Recovery rates. Turned Off, it absorbs no Damage and radiates it away at the maximum rate. Engine Thrust is normal. Weapon's fire is normal. Launch and recovery operations proceed as normal.
The rate at which a Black Globe dissipates Damage is determined by the Hull size. Hulls between Size 1 and Size 3 dump 1 Damage per Turn. Hulls between Size 4 and Size 8 dump 2 Damage per Turn. Hulls between Size 9 and Size 15 dump 3 Damage per Turn. Hulls between Size 16 and Size 24 dump 4 Damage per Turn. Hulls of Size 25 or greater dump 5 Damage per Turn.
The amount of Damage that can be swallowed by a Black Globe is equal to the square of it's Level. A given Level of Black Globe costs the same in Space Units as that Level of Shields. It should be treated the same as a Shield for purposes of calculating Defensive Rating. It should be calculated seperately from the shields and then be added to the Defense Rating. Adding the Black Globe rating to the Shield rating before calculating, gives a spuriously high Defense Rating.
The Nuclear Missles are slightly re-worked Plasma S Torpedoes from Romulan Armada. I simply increased the Range; removed the Trait Slow-Firing; and made it an Ammunition-Limited Weapon. This is close enough to work for the purpose. It may be used as a Direct-Fire Weapon or as a Drone Flight. You will need to read the Rules from Romulan Armada to properly use these.
Energy Blasters represent the Short-Ranged Fusion and Plasma Weapons from this background.
Sandcasters are Expendable Directional Counter-Measures. A Directional Counter-Measure is one that gives a -1 to any To-Hit roll made against its ship from a single bearing (as opposed to conventional Counter-Measures that give this protection from any direction). A Directional Counter-Measure should cost about 1% of the Hull Space Units. An expendable Counter-Measure is one that lasts only a single Turn. Knowing the Space unit cost of a Directional Counter-Measure, I can apply the procedure used for Ammunition-Limited weapons to determine the cost in Space Units of a single Sandcaster. The only important thing to know about Sandcasters is that each one defends your ship (by reducing your enemy's chance To-Hit for only a single Turn and only from fire from a single direction. It is also probably a good House Rule to apply the -1 to any To-Hit Roll penalty to your own Fire directed through bearings protected by Expendable CounterMeasures ( this compensates for the fact that they are cheaper than full CounterMeasures).
Hyperdrive Ratings are determined by the square root of the number of Hyperdrives. Each Hyperdrive is fueled seperately each Strategic Turn. Hyper Range is the distance that can be travelled in one Strategic Turn.
Black Globes are considered rare Strategic resources in this background. Therefore, I would probably choose no more than one or two ships with Black Globes for any Fleet.

We have been snowed in for a long weekend down here. While I should have probably spent the spare time re-calculating the DRAT and CR of my previous Traveller postings, I found it more fun to convert the Over-sized (not a Super Star Destroyer, but it's on its' way there) Zhodani Consulate Idlev class Superbattleship to Starmada AE. I have compiled the massive missle batteries and made a chart to substitute for To-Hit dice rolling for these batteries. You will still have to roll for Impact and Damage (which sadly will deter anyone from actually playing with this ship).I have also compiled the Repulsor Batteries into groups of five and incorporated the resulting drop in Hits when they are used to defend against a missle salvo into the above mentioned chart. I have made an overstrained modification to the Plasma S Torpedo that I have been using as a Standard Nuclear Missle Battery, but this was the only way that I could see of fitting so many missles into a reasonably sized ship. The only possible use for such a large ship is to play it as an entire fleet (preferably against a single vessel of similar size). It may take a while to finish posting this, as I must cope with being cut off by the computer in the Public Library.

Repulsors are a primative sort of Tractor Beam that Can only be used as an Anti-Fighter Defense. I put them in the Weapons Batteries because it convenienced me to, but I could have put them under Special Equipment just as well (and will do so for Repulsors with a Rate Of Fire of 1).
I consider these Ships to have Teleporters, because I do not see any reason why we should cost the services of a Psychic capable of Teleportation any differently than we cost the use of a Teleportation Machine. I am making a purely arbitrary decision for the purpose of these conversions that the Zhodani have a complement of Psychics aboard their ships that is 10% the size of their Marine complement.
Should this ship lack a Black Globe, the Combat Rating drops to 3, 993 CR, the VBAM Cost drops to 77, and the VBAM Defensive drops to 35. If the ship without a Black Globe is penalized for excessive Hull Size, the Combat Rating is 2, 662 CR, the VBAM Cost is 72 (and it has the Trait: Carrier), and the VBAM Defensive Value is 31.
Added two Particle Accelerators to the Battery and widened the Arc of two Particle Accelerators. I did this because it made the weapons fit properly into the Battery. I also thought that it looked better.</r>
Thanks for the Massive info! Let me digest this and see what other questions I can come up with.
Here is the Chart for Very Heavy missle batteries. It tells you how many Rolls that you should make for Impact, depending on what the appropriate To-Hit Roll is for the Missle salvo and on how many Repulsor Batteries are shooting at the Salvo. I am posting it seperately from the Idlev because it will be useful for other ships in this background.

This table has listings for 3+ To-Hit and 2+ To-Hit for the convenience of those who penalize ships for Excessive Hull size. Those ships are the only ones that will be taking the massive Impacts listed in the bottom rows of the chart
I know that this is supposed to be smaller than the Idlev, but the space taken up by the fighter complement made that impossible.

For those of you who would penalize this ship for its' Hull size by adding +1 to any To-Hit dice roll against it, the Combat Rating would drop to 1, 894 CR.

Without a Black Globe, its' Combat Rating would be 1, 656 CR ( its' VBAM Cost would be 57 and its' VBAM Defensive Value would be 44) and the penalized version without the Black Globe would have a Combat Rating of 1, 412 CR (its' VBAM Cost would be 55 and its' VBAM Defensive Value would be 23).
How we should represent the transfer of fuel from one vessel to another is a question not addressed by the rules of either Starmada or Victory By Any Means.I think that this should not have any function in the Tactical game. The simplest way to treat the problem in Strategic play would be to say that the ships' Hull Size multiplied by the number of Fuel points that it has represents the volume of fuel that it has. As a example, suppose that a Vrapkenchkinj class Light Battlecruiser has emptied its tanks and requires to be refueled by a Iadiadlsiz class Tanker. The Iadiadlsiz has Hull 37 and 94 Fuel. This gives its' tanks a volume of 5, 587 Fuel. The Vrapkenchkinj has 9 Hull and 36 Fuel. This gives its tanks the capacity to hold 324 Fuel by volume. If the Iadiadlsiz refuels the Vrapkenchkinj, it will have 5, 263 volume of Fuel left. This is enough that it has 142 points of Fuel left after refueling a single Vrapkenchkinj. It could refuel another 16 Vrapkenchkinj and still have enough fuel left to maneuver. If you wish to undertake the complexity of keeping track of your Ship's fuel allotments in a Starmada based Traveller Campaign, this seems a simple enough way to do so.

This has 69 Space Units left for auxilliary systems. One reason, that this is so very large, is that the source material had the Lurenti using ten percent of its available space to carry Cargo. The Loaded Lurenti is hard-docked to 7 Nolikian class Battleriders and 4 Large Flotillas of Sylea Heavy Fighters when in transit.

If this ship is penalized for being Grossly Over-Sized by adding +4 to any To-Hit roll against it, its' Combat Rating is reduced to 3, 668 CR, its' VBAM Cost is reduced to 148 and its' VBAMDefensive Value is reduced to 69. While such a large and expensive vessel will probably have a Black Globe, if it does not, then its' Combat Rating will drop to 6, 264 CR, its' VBAM Cost will drop to 157, and its' VBAM Defensive Value will drop to 75. If the ship is both penalized and lacks a Black Globe, its' Combat Rating will drop to 2, 628 CR, its' VBAM Cost will drop to 143, and its' VBAM Defensive Value will drop to 64.

I compiled the Firing Arcs of both the Particle Accelerators and the Meson Cannons, so that they all have two-arc weapons with the same total cost in Space Units and the same Offensive Rating. I did this purely because it looks better.</r>
If I haven't said it yet, thanks for the all the info. Its a bit overwhelming.
One critique I have is that you overpowered the ships in order to "fit" them in with the Traveller Milieu. I would have thought that the current game engine would cover things just fine.
