So as I work on the conversions I've discovered something that might be/is a glaring error.

To recap this part of the conversion, you add up all power generated by a ship, subtract out costs of powering weapons (Phasers 1/ea (Ph1/Ph2) or .5/ea (Ph3), Photons, Disruptors, Particle Cannons & Shield Crackers 2/ea*), divide by Engine Power Ratio, and you have the Engine rating. Plasma Torpedo costing seems to be in error though...

Plasma-F Torpedoes (the weakest standard torpedo) in SFB need 1+1+3 energy (or, 1 point per turn plus 2 more on the turn of firing). For conversion purposes, seems to require 2 points of power per launcher for calculations.

Plasma-G Torpedoes in SFB need 2+2+3 energy (or, 2 points per turn plus 1 more on the turn of firing). For conversion purposes, seems to require 3 points of power per launcher for calculations.

Plasma-S Torpedoes in SFB need 2+2+4 energy (or, 2 points per turn plus 2 more on the turn of firing). For conversion purposes, seems to require 2 points of power per launcher for calculations.

Plasma-R Torpedoes in SFB need 2+2+5 energy (or, 2 points per turn plus 3 more on the turn of firing). For conversion purposes, seems to require 3 points of power per launcher for calculations.

Plasma-F, G, and R torpedoes appear to be costed (conversion wise) incorrectly. Plasma Fs should require 1 energy/ea, Plasma Gs and Rs 2 energy ea. This would make them consistent with other power requirements.

**While this doesn't seem to affect the Romulans much, the Seahawk frigate should have an Engine of 10, and the Snipe Frigate should have an Engine of 2(?!), which is odd because it lists it as having Engine of 4; it also means that it has to come to a complete stop to fire one of it's two (TWO!) Plasma F torps. Dan, is this a fudge to make the Snipe playable?

**For the Gorn, I get a Hull 11 for the Battle Cruiser and Command Cruiser (book says 10), Hull 6 for the Battle Destroyer (book is 8), Hull 8 and Engine 7 for the Heavy Destroyer (book is 6 and 6), Hull 6 for the Destroyer (book is 5), and Engine 10 for the frigate (book is 9).

*Also, Particle Cannons are supposed to fire twice per turn, but only have a ROF 1?

You are a god amongst men. Also, my spreadsheet* is fairly well done for basically all the SFB (not FC) books I own; just need to confirm power costs of certain things (ESG, Vuldar Ion Pulse Generator, Jindarian weapons etc). I know I'm using SFB material, but I recall that FC just doesn't use all the different varieties of ships; I just don't know which ones to use so I calculate them all in the spreadsheet.

A hold over from my days as a SFB player, where the motto was "Speed is Life."

Makes much more sense. I was afraid that you were going to say that Batteries were considered power, which would wreck the power calculations for everything.

*spreadsheet meaning one that calculates Hull, Engines, Screens, and all the other values, and notes like Tight Turn, ADD, etc; not SSDs.

YES!!! Thanks for the update - that's the best news I've had in a long time!

Well, my spreadsheet (of all non-carrier & PFT craft) is tentatively done. I can't say completely done because I'm lacking concrete rules (read: power requirements and weapon stats) for the following items:

1) Hellbores (assuming 3 per turn)
2) Fusion (2 per turn)
3) ESG (Pay when used)
4) PPD (4 per turn?)
5) ISC rear Plasma-F (constantly charging them kills their power curves; I was thinking Expendable, no power to arm, 2PP to fire as normal?)
6) Ion Cannon (2 per turn)
7) Ion Pulse Generators

Also, I haven't done the LDR (minor power, too similar to the Lyrans), or Andromedans (need some major rule clarifications there). Orion and WYN option mounts have been left open too; there's a lot of choices for them. Dunno how FC rules handles them - I mean the Orion's weapons really are determined by their operating areas. I also didn't bother to calculate a Cargo value for anything, nor did I assume that Tugs were hauling Cargo Pods (though I could fix that).

The big question becomes posting my spreadsheets is can I? It calculates the stats for ships, but lacks any of the weapons loadouts; just Hull, Engine, Screens, EPR, and Traits/Equipment.

Also wondering (if I can post it) if people would like to see stats for carriers and PFs/PFTs?

Hello! A SFU Armada Unity player here, was just wondering if there was a game plan regarding future releases? My group and I are eagerly awaiting the Hydrans and Lyrans to be added to the existing selection.

Thanks for the update! Will check in here every so often to see if it has been released. Thanks for allowing us to play the big battles in a realistic amount of time while still retaining that tension that makes the SFU games so addictive!
