Topic: Conversion from Star Fleet Battles to Starmada Nova?

I've upgraded from the Admiralty edition to the Nova edition. I have the Klingon and Romulan Nova books.

Does anyone know how they went to determining weapon , armor, and shield values from Star Fleet Battles to Starmada Nova?

I guess I'm looking for a type of formula of some sorts.

Here is what I'm trying to do. I have a miniature of the Doomsday Device (aka Planet Killer) and I'd like to be able to look at the SFB version of it and switch it over to the Starmada Nova edition so it would give the SN ships and equal run for their money.

I'd also like to convert SFBs other space creatures over to Starmada Nova.

I'm sure Dan would object to publishing the 'formula', after all he (rightly) wants to sell more books!

However all is not lost, I have tried to work out how Dan did the actual conversion (I want all those variant which will never see the light of day in Nova). The conversion is not from Star Fleet Battles but Federation Commander and if you look at the ADB site http://www.starfleetgames.com/federatio … e/sc.shtml they have loads of FC SSDs online so you can work the 'formula' out yourself. It is pretty straight forward but there are some 'adjustments' so you need to be creative.There is also an article on the site to conversion from SFB to FC. So you can work out at least an approximation
of a planet Killer.

Alternatively the ADB site has the old admiralty stats for a planet killer and you could convert that using the Nova conversion rules.
