Default Re: Star Wars Mod - II (Sci-Fi Xover Mod)

An update :

- The Klingons have started sending light carriers and ships with PDCs against me, so now my TIE bomber Groups are taking heavy losses - but they still destroy fleets worth many times their cost before being defeated.

- Here's my suggestion for SW fighters with speeds in scale with their MGLT Ratings (my main source is the game X-Wing Alliance, plus various websites for New Republic era craft).

Engine thrust Ratings will have to be increased :

Ion engine I - 32
Ion engine II - 36
Ion engine III - 40
Ion engine IV - 44
Ion engine V - 48

Abbreviations : EPM - engines per move, Max - maximum engines, SM - strategic move (with Ion Engines III), CM - combat move (with Ion Engines III), MGLT - MGLT rating.

TIE Fighter
EPM = 8
Max = 2
SM = 10
CM = 5
MGLT = 100

TIE Bomber
EPM = 10
Max = 2
SM = 8
CM = 4
MGLT = 80

TIE Interceptor
EPM = 7
Max = 2
SM = 11
CM = 6
MGLT = 111

TIE Advanced
EPM = 6
Max = 2
SM = 13
CM = 7
MGLT = 133

TIE Defender
EPM = 8
Max = 3
SM = 15
CM = 8
MGLT = 144

Note : The Defender has a threefold symmetry, so it's reasonable to suppose it might have 3 ion engines instead of 2.

TIE Scimitar
EPM = 17
Max = 4
SM = 9
CM = 5
MGLT = 90 to 100 (exact value uncertain)

Z-95 Headhunter
EPM = 16
Max = 4
SM = 10
CM = 5
MGLT = 100

Y-Wing
EPM = 10
Max = 2
SM = 8
CM = 4
MGLT = 80

X-Wing
EPM = 16
Max = 4
SM = 10
CM = 5
MGLT = 100

A-Wing
EPM = 6
Max = 2
SM = 13
CM = 7
MGLT = 120

B-Wing
EPM = 17
Max = 4
SM = 9
CM = 5
MGLT = 91

E-Wing
EPM = 14
Max = 4
SM = 11
CM = 6
MGLT = 110

K-Wing
EPM = 8
Max = 3
SM = 15
CM = 8
MGLT = 140

These figures are not 100% to scale, but they're acceptable (to me at least). I tested all of the TIE craft with the new engines and EPM values and the move values were as shown; Rebel fighters should follow the same pattern.

Hope it helps.
