[QUOTE="Diggus Rex, post: 3286208, member: 46101"] [B]Jephkay[/B], hope your cat's better. :) I've got further questions on the Wanderer to clarify some points: I've houseruled that each ship category has a size category. Ultralights are huge, lights gargantuan, etc. I've created Awesome (-12 mod) and Titanic (-16) for Heavy and Super Heavy respectively (includes space stations). Should I port it over? Minimum crew of 8 means that assuming three 8hr-shift rotations brings the effective crew total to 24. How do ya want them distributed? I prefer a 5,000 ft square for the game as it's more realistic and allows us to speak in terms near that of nautical miles. I use 500ft squares for aerospace combat. What do ya think? Using average HD (10.5 x #HD), I find it better sync's with D20 HD rules and makes starship combat less drawn out. For PC ships (like the Wanderer) I maximize half the HD then roll the other half for multiples of the remainder; gives the PC's a bit of script immunity ;). For the Wanderer this would be 1600HP + 8d20x10. An NPC Orion freighter would get 160 x 10.5 = 1680. Thoughts? Shall we rename all missles torpedos? Are my rendering of the Warp drive and Silent partners clear enough? [B]kirinke[/B], Jephkay's answers to the above will inform me how all starships are to be made. Plus, I'd need specifications.
