Topic: SFU ships in Starmada

I was trying to 'recreate' SFU ships from KA (to begin with) with starmada stats using oldngrey spreadsheet. But with a fed CA, I end up with 88 SU more than the hull can support. Th CR is correct, but the hull size seems too low.
Also, I would like to know how the shield values from the federation ship display had been converted in facet values. What is the 'algorithym' here?

You will find that the ships in KA use more SU than the hull sizes normally allow, this is why the KA/SFO ships use more SU than the hulls allow. I think this has been questioned in threads before.
The conversion was as near as possible (I believe) but the resulting weapons have a high cost and added to the number on the ship  pushes the SU cost over the normal limit.

I do not know how the shield values were carried over but I can tell you that the KA to SFU is the avarage shield rating +1.
Note, I also added the +1 to the Screens and KEB after getting the equivalent shield rating.

Yes, I noticed that and wondered if I wasn't at fault here. It seems not.

Why the hull sizes hadn't been adjusted, then?

Since anyone looking in at the forum might wonder as well and look here; I am going to ask.

What is a SFU ship?
SAE, ISS, H&C, DRN, IRN, KLA RMA ALA and now SFO ships can be gleaned from the products.
SFA (Star Fleet Armada) makes sense but SFU?
I know Dan coined it asking for ship requests but does not say what it stands for since the thread then asks about SFA ships.

SFU stands for Star Fleet Universe.
