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.

You are quite welcome, converting these to Starmada AE has provided me with much entertainment at no cost but time.

It probably would be possible to use straight Starmada for these conversions, but I like to see how far it stretchs without breaking. If you find the ship"s overpowered for your purposes, it is fairly easy to re-do them with shorter ranges for each Weapon (divide the Range by half or even a third), reduce the Rate-of-Fire for each Weapon, reduce the numbers of Weapons in each Battery (especially cutting the number that fire in the same arc), reduce the strength of each Weapon ( an Impact or Damage of 2 can just as easily be an Impact or Damage of 1 as long as you cut them all equally), or even delete a redundant Battery (one that fires in the same bearing with the same Weapons). However, if you do this with Traveller, then reducing the very large capital ships to the size commonly played in Starmada will reduce many smaller ships to such a size that you must re-calculate them as Flotillas or even Fighters. As to the fighters in Traveller, they would be reduced to non-existence.

If one keeps the scale consistant in a conversion from Traveller to Starmada, either there are Absurdly large ships at one end of the scale, or there are negligibly small ships at the other. When I get around to posting the versions of these that are purely Tactical (that have everything of only Strategic importance removed), they will most of them be smaller. It may be quite a while before I get around to this, as I will have to find the time. For one thing. I need to correct all the errors that I have found in my existing postings ( you never know how uncommonly capable you are at making mistakes until you try doing something like this).

Two of these are carried by the Aatsdivr class Battle Tender. It also carries three tankers. These are supposed to be Asentsschetfr class Tankers, but I don't have Statistics For them, so I made up a tanker that will do the job.

This has no extra Space Units left. I am assuming that the Re-Fueling Equipment (whatever is required to extract ( from comets, oceans, gas planets, or ice moons), purify, and transfer Hydrogen Fuel to the tankage of other ships) takes up 10 % of the Hull's Space Units.

I believe that these last two ships complete the set of miniatures that Ad Astra Games http://www.adastragames.com is selling for use in playing Traveller. From what I've seen of them, these are good quality miniatures. My only objection is that they are only sold in large sets of eight to twelve. While this leads to a price of only 5 or 6 dollars per miniature, the total usually exceeds my available Hobby budget.

I am presuming that Nuclear Missle Re-Loads would be carried directly attached to the Clamps instead of a Pod. This ship would carry 10 Nuclear Missle Re-Loads (25 Capacity each), 5 Heavy Nuclear Missle Re-Loads (65 Capacity each), or a single Very Heavy Nuclear Missle Re-Load (225 Capacity each).

This has 671 unused Space Units because it was put into service unfinished. If you want to finish it, The present ship has an ORAT of 3, 843.26 and a DRAT of 39.6. Improving the defenses would be a good choice for using the remaining space. So would increasing the Fuel Supply (as even the present increase of 50 % does not give much mobility).

VBAM Statistics:

I added one laser to both the Forward and Aft Batteries to make the Rates of Fire of the weapons come out equal.

While a Mercenary would probably not be able to afford something as rare and expensive as a Black Globe, if this ship did have a Level IV Black Globe, then it would have a Combat Rating of 206 CR, it would have a VBAM Cost of 17, and it would have a VBAM Defensive Value of 16. It would have only 21 Space Units left for auxilliary services.

The only reason that this ship is as big as it is, is that the source material required that the ship have 10 % of its' Space Units in extra cargo.

I have completed conversion of such source material as I have on hand. I have edited and revised my conversions until I have all the errors that I can find out of them. I have enjoyed doing this enough that I think I will see what a famous ragtag fleet will look like if done in this style. I don't really intend to distinguish between the old series and the newer one.

This is very far from the hundreds of Raiders mentioned in the source material, but it still has a bit of the flavor. It has very little capacity to repair itself over Strategic turns and is dependent on Support vessels. It can construct little more than its own Missle reloads.

Special Equipment: Cargo (200); Construction (200); Conversion Refinery; Critical Hit Save (5+); Damage Control (2 Dice); Fuel (62 61 60 59 58 57 56 55 54 53 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1); Hyperdrive (1); Refueling Equipment; Remote Mining; Repair (200). This has 6 Space Units left for auxilliary services. I should remark here that I am considering Conversion Refinery as the equipment required to to convert raw Tylium ore (Cargo) into raw Tylium Fuel (at a ratio of two Fuel (by volume) to three Cargo). It should be noted that I am meaning Fuel Volume (Fuel Points * Hull Size), not Fuel Points. This requires 10% of Hull Space Units (* TL Modifier). Refueling Equipment refines the raw Fuel and transfers it to other ships (requires 10 % of Hull Space Units as modified by Tech Level). Remote Mining Capability extracts minerals from Asteroid Belts, Comets, Moons, and Planets and converts them to Cargo (requires 10 % of Hull Space Units * TL Modifier and fills the Cargo Capacity in one Strategic Turn). Construction repairs lost Hull Points (requires 100 Construction (10 Bays) per Hull Point and uses 100 Cargo for every Hull Point repaired (this takes one Strategic Turn)). Construction also builds Ships and Ammunition (10 Construction (1 Bay) per Hull Point and Full Strategic Cost (CR/TL Modifier) in Cargo for each item constructed). This takes Full Strategic Cost/Construction Capacity Used in Strategic Turns. Repair fully repairs Systems (10 Repair (1 Bay)) per System repaired, 10 Cargo per System repaired, and 1 Strategic Turn per System repaired. Construction may also be used for Repair (10 Construction (1 Bay ) per System repaired, Space Unit Cost of Sytem in Cargo for each System repaired, and Space Unit Cost of System/Construction Capacity Used in Strategic Turns for each System repaired). This is slower and more costly than using Repair.

VBAM Statistics:

Cost: 22, Maintenance: 23/6 ~ 4, Defensive Value: 4, Anti-Ship: 3, Anti-Fighter: 0, Command Rating: 4, Command Cost: 3; Construction (10), Hyperdrive (1), Repair (7).

This is intended as a General Purpose Support Vessel sent ahead of the enemy to provide maintenance and repair when needed. In a Strategic Campaign, this will become the most common and necessary of ships.

Since these ships have no Cargo (unless they replace the Marine Squads with it), they can travel no more than one Hyperjump away from their supporting vessel. This Flotilla takes up 100 Tender Capacity.

I should explain what I mean by Decoys. This is not the same as the Decoys previously used in Starmada and rightfully abandoned as requiring more Dice Rolls than they were worth. These are simpler things and make for a less cumbersome House Rule. The Damage inflicted on the launching Ship (or Flotilla in this case) is divided by the number of expendable Decoys launched during the Turn (they only last one) plus one (round the result up) before the Damage is applied to the launching Ship or Flotilla. As an example, let us presume that all 4 Decoys were launched by a Raptor Flotilla and that 5 Damage were scored against the Flotilla. Then, the Damage would be divided by 5 and the Flotilla would lose only one Raptor. I would give this a cost of 10 % of the Hull S.U. per Decoy (adjusted by the Tech Level Modifier) because it absorbs the same Damage as a Hull, but only lasts for one Turn. Similarly, this should multiply the Defensive Rating by 1.1 per Decoy. A Decoy that was permanent would take the same share of Damage as the Hull ( having a Defensive modifer of times 2), but since it only lasts one turn, it has a Defensive Modifier of (1+(1/10)).

I added these because the source that I used for the Raptors says that Decoys are an important part of their Defenses. Of course, it also says that Raptors are much more heavily armed than I have made them, but I could not contrive to fit that on a Flotilla.
