I would be willing to set up the Trek Races Ship Sets. Leave the AI and other component details to those with more skill. But as far as ship sets go, I'd love to set em up.

Aren't there already shipsets for all mentioned Star Trek races? It's good that you keep working on them anyway.

Some of the sizes for SW ships are off.

1. Nebulon B frigate is 500 meters.
2. Executor SSD is 17,600 meters.
3. Not sure where you got fighter sizes, but I'm pretty sure TIE Bombers are bigger than Advanced and Defender.
4. Mon Cal Cruiser is 1300 m, I believe.
5. Not quite sure what a heavy Mon Cal is. If you mean the Home One, that was about 3800 meters.
6. I believe the A-Wing was smaller than 9.6 m.
7. The sizes for the Death Stars I and II aren't listed. They're 160 km and 900 km respectively.

Also, the Sovereigns and Eclipses had superlasers, not just Death Stars.

300 m verified. Where are they listed 500 m?

quote:
2. Executor SSD is 17,600 meters.

There's contradiction on the size of the SSD. Fist official sources listed it as 8,000 m. Observation of the models used in the movies suggest 17,600 m (think that the 17,500m I found was rounded, less than 1% error). And now official sources list 12,800 m as compromise between both values. If you consider the movies as cannon, you're right and the value is 17,600 m
Everybody agree that no matter wich one is correct it's a very big ship.

3. Not sure where you got fighter sizes, but I'm pretty sure TIE Bombers are bigger than Advanced and Defender.

TIE Bomber 7.8 m verified. Tried to verify Advanced and Defender but couldn't find them. Only lists that includes data them show all TIEs 10 m, what is obiouly rounded. But you're right a 15m TIE Defender must be wrong.

quote:
4. Mon Cal Cruiser is 1300 m, I believe.
5. Not quite sure what a heavy Mon Cal is. If you mean the Home One, that was about 3800 meters.

Each Calamari vessel is a unique work of artistic engineering, not two ships are the same. There may not be two ships equal in length.

Calamari Headquarters, Command Frigate, Calamari Command Ship, Home One (is that a name or codename, is it the Indipendence?) or whatever is called 3.8 km
MC80 1200m verified
Winged Calamari "Liberty" type 1200m verified.
Couldn't verify the Heavy Mon Cal, but some data suggest the existence of a 1500-1600m Mon Cal ship as big as an ISD.

quote:
6. I believe the A-Wing was smaller than 9.6 m.

9.6m long and 6.4m wide verified.

120 km and 160 km is what I found.
Already in the list: Forward Axial Superlaser (Sovereign & Eclipse)
in contrast with the bigger and more powerful normal superlaser only on the Death Stars

Off the top of my head, the Feds could use pulse phaser cannon, burst fire photon/quantum torps, and maybe even a phaser cannon.
Klingons could have pulse disruptors, burst fire photon/quantum torp launchers and disruptor cannon.
Romulans could get pulse disruptors, disruptor cannons, and heavy plasma cannon.
The Cardassians should have some kind of torpedo, and maybe a burst fire option for those too.
I'll probably think of more later, but this is all the stuff I know I've seen in the shows. Hope this helps.



I was thinking about making separate "Phasers", "Disruptors" and "Torpedoes" racial traits including all variations of each weapon and make races choose the apropiate ones.

X-Wing Alliance.

I think it was revealed somewhere in the EU (some comic I think) that the 8 km ship was just a battleship, not an Executor.

That's what the literature says, but in ROTJ, they're all the same.

I think Home One is the actual name. The Independence was just a normal Mon Cal cruiser I think.

OK, coulda swore it was smaller, but I guess not.

That's what the official sources say, but they don't jibe with the movies, and cannon overrides official. Check out Curtis Saxton's site at http://www.theforce.net/swtc/ for more accurate measurments.

Sorry, didn't see that.

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

I finished with the estimation of starship tonnages (I'll post them later)
and because of the wide range in tonnages, now I need to define a variable scale so it's possible to adapt them to space empires tonnages.

What about this one:

Fighters will be amplified 1000 times so a 1 ton in a fighter will becom 1 kt in seiv.

Smallest non-fighter ships. I sci-fi about 1000 tons in seiv 120 kt

Medium sized ships 200-2000 kt will be converted straight, making 1000 tons = 1 kt

Very big and impressive ship. But small and cheap enough that a powerful race is able to build in large numbers. Ships such as Minbari Sharlins, Earth Omegas and Imperial Star Destroyers should be close to this tonnage.
sci-fi tonnage: 50000
seiv tonnage: 5000

This ship is unconceibably big. Having the avility to build one of these babies is a show of power, and probably a provocation to other races. Ships such as an Imperial Eclipse Star Destroyer and a Vorlon Planet Killer should be close to this tonnage.
sci-fi tonnage: 30000000
seiv tonnage: 20000

The biggest thing ever built, and the maximun alowed tonnage: the Death Star.
Estimated tonnage: 320000000000 kt
seiv tonnage: 65535 kt

Do you agree with these values? Do you think that seiv tonnages fit the description?
Would it be practical to build 5000 kt ships and would the 2200 kt biggest Trek starships be able to handle them. The 2200 kt value is rounded down to keep a coherent scale and have contrast between sizes, they are reduced to more than 1/2 when the others are reduced to 1/10th of their real tonnage.
