When I say a lot of clicking I'm not kidding. Currently it would take 250 LS components to balance out a SD using Destroyer-sized LS.

"
There is a new one, "War of Honor"
Where can I get a copy of the Honor H. Mod?

Hmm, actually there are 10 books with 3 other books set in the HH universe: "More Than Honor" "Worlds of Honor" and "Changer of Worlds"

I've read both "More Than Honor" and "Worlds of Honor" as well as starting the series. I'm about done with "The Short Victorious War" and look forward to the rest of the series.

I bought "War of Honor" from the local B&N... though I found it cheaper on Amazon. As a bonus, the book comes with a CD-ROM containing all HH books in electronic format, and also cover art, and other graphics. The books are in multiple formats: HTML, MS Reader, Rich Text, and two other eBook reader formats.

It was a good deal for me since I haven't been able to find all the books.

for grit, i am using standard size control components, and requiring 1 per 500KT or fraction thereof. it balances fairly well, i think DNs take 14 and baseships take 30 each of crew/life support.

Perhaps not a perfect solution for a HH mod... but resonable

The only problem with this is the really large size jump. It goes:

400
800
4000
6000
8000

it looks like you could either scale them to require one per 400, or one per 1000. you would need 20 of each for your 8000kt hull if you required 1/400, and sized the components appropriatly. thats not too much clicking, in my book. (especially since my starbases take 30 each, in GritTech..)

anyway, im working hard on getting Version 0.11 of GritTech out, which should fix alot of problems in the 0.1 pre-release (which you can download from the Grit-Tech thread, and take a look at, if you like).

In my case the answer to both would be "no".

Other than the cover art from the books, is there any reference material?

There is some on the inside of the Ashes of Victory Hardcover; perhaps on the inside of the other hardcover books as well. Other than that, none that I know of.

The covers and illustrations are often considered bad representation..the covers at least rarely match the book descriptions.
