Does anybody, by chance, have Urban Lundqvists "Starship Construction System"? From his (long been dead) website Wing Commander Lunas Room, it was a very detailed system of figuring out how much a starship cost with many, many formulas.

At least, last I remembered. An Sr-71 speed 16 ubder-munchkin plane with rechargable shields and capital ship hull was something like 10 million credits. It took me the better part of a few hours to get that result using my older sisters TI calculator when I was in middle school or early high school (the page was around for a looong time ago).

Anyway, I found a dos program he made which is the same thing but has a few errors in it for some reason. While trying, for example, to input an ISD and put in 36.8k crew size it came out as -20k something.

Urban also came out with a lot of other cool rules, like missile systems (why did I never think about that before), wing pylons and attachable gun pods, mines, and neat ships like a Nebulon-A frigate. I vaguely remember other, cooler things from the website like how he broke down standard starfighters (Y-wing, TIE, etc) into 16 variants in a modern sense, attack/bomber variants or electronic warfare variants. Another rule of note was his mass starship combat system wihch I thought was really cool, and wouldn't mind having at the moment.

So, would anybody happen to have any of his stats / rules downloaded on their comp? Internet searches failed to provide anything new ...

Addendum - Also, the system was good enough to accurately price a YT1300 with all of its componenets as is. Swank, eh?

That was managed by how many were produced, which shaved prices off the final cost.
