Topic: Nova Point Value Descrepancy

Hi:

I am using the Excel ship designer by OldNGrey and want to use it to convert some SFB ships into my game that are not available in the Starmada version. To get to know the Excel sheet, I entered in the values for a Fed CA and CL.

Almost everything was correct except the calculated CRAT, which come out too high. For example: the CA is listed at 321 points in the book, but the software calculates it as 345 points. Likewise, the Fed CL is  243 in the book, but 263 in the software.

Any ideas what may be happening?

Hmmmmm. 
Troubles with the Federation CA & CL?
  Obviously the work of Klingon sabatours. tongue

Perhaps smile  although I get 322 if I use the original book version which had the photon torpedo overload range as 6 instead of 9 (the notes in the book give 320 P.44 :? ). 328 with the range correction.
For SFU ships you have to put Yes to both SFU ship? (Ship.J8) and to directional defenses which bring in two calculation changes. Although directional defenses are not shown on the cards (being universal) they are included for calculating SFU ship points.
Note also that Hyperdrives (Warp) are not included.

I did spot a couple of references on the web to there being a second version of the Nova Klingon Armada, maybe someone has checked the data cards?
A couple of the ships in Nova Romulan Armada had point issues with minor weapon errors for which I sent Dan my findings.

Let me know how it goes?

Paul:

You solved it. I missed checking the box for directional defenses. Thanks.
