Some initial design decisions: while one version DID have Fusion Guns, posts to this list and TML convinced me that they weren't feasible in TNE. Sigh. Other possible options: TL15 50 ton laser bays would have a Damage Value of 125 and be able to penetrate armor up to 5000. In a Bogan-esque refit, assuming that Bogan Bays were Verboten, I would use laser bays instead of Particle Bays. Potentially "controversial" decisions: No Contra-Grav: the CT design could refuel without Shuttles in an emergency. I've tried to dup. this by having scoops but no Contra Grav, so it's possible but difficult: more on this in the Ops discussion. Short "Legs": From what I can tell, all the CT warship conversions have about 50 g-turns of fuel. My fuel section was largely dictated by the fuel space on the CT AHL class. The fact that it turned out about the same as the other CT conversions is interesting. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

Since I don't remember seeing many other design examples (in this lurid detail), I'll just go ahead and post this to the TML next week, barring objections and corrections. When I ran through this design evaluation, I made a few changes. Corrected Evaluations will follow. This ship is an attempt at converting the Azhanti High Lightning Class Cruiser, originally presented in Azhanti High Lightning (808), with Suppliment 5, Lightning Class Cruisers by Frank Chadwick and Marc Miller. A MegaTraveller conversion was presented in Arrival Vengance by Greg Videll w/ Dave Nilsen. The basic design peramerters were as follows for the Frontier Cruiser config: TL 14, 60,000 ton Hull, Jump 5, Manuever 2, a TL 15 Spinal Meson Gun, 24 TL-15 50-ton Partical Accellerator Bays, 100 triple laser turrets, 100 triple sandcaster turrets, 80 Fusion Guns, Nuclear Dampeners, A Black Globe, Meson Screens, 2 launch tubes for 20-ton craft, hanger space for 60 fighters and 6 gunboats, and 4 400-ton fuel shuttles. Various Docking capibilites were specified in the CT version, but did not appear in Arrival Vengence. I've gone with the CT version. The Fusion Guns are no longer a space combat weapon (the plasma/fusion bolts don't travel at close to light speed: please don't ask me about this one, physicks = magick to me ;-) ) I would LIKE to have a Large Nuclear Dampener that can stop all incoming missles, but since FF&S doesn't contain clear rules for this, I went with a number of Dampener Turrets. I'd replace them at the drop of a hat ;-) About the 50 ton bays: Even if you can pack multiple Partical Accelerators into one bay, they don't really have the penetration to effect big ships. I would, to make the ship more survivable (as opposed to being true to the old design). A TL 15 50 ton Laser Bay would have a DV of 125, and would be able to penetrate an AV of 5000. This type of bay would be a MUCH better ship killer than the Particle Bays. But hey, my players think they have Particle Bays. I've tried to indicate where the formulas diverge from FF&S, and where the errata came from. PLEASE if you find any errors in this design sequence, please let me know. I hope that others can use this to make ship design easier of new designers.

Fire Control {From the way the original batteries were set up, I would say that there were 10 MFDs each for the Lasers, Sandcasters, and Missles, 1 MFD for each Particle Accelerator, 1 MFD for the Meson Gun. Nuclear Dampeners weren't arranged in batteries before, but since I assume you'd want to be SURE you'd hit with one, I gave each one a MFD as well. Also, I couldn't see anything that indicated that Sandcasters could use MFDs. Because I have multiple fire control decks, I multiplied the number of MFDs x4, (except for the Nuc. Damp. MFDs) for redundancy.} Pencil beam sensors for MFDs multiply the power requirements and antenna size by 0.1 and the cost by 0.5. The volume and mass remain the same.
