My intent with my conversions is making them match up with the FJTM. And since the LN-48 drives aren't on the warp drive chart in Starships, I'll just create the little fellows to add them on. Won't take but a moment. I'll start on the Starships versions of these ships straight away.Quote:

For my version, here's the entry for the LN-48 drives that I'm inserting into the construction system in Starships:
EDIT: Inserted and formatted the system chart.Code:Warp Drive Systems (Original Cochrane Unite scale)
System Space Std/Sust/Max Max Size Reliability Availability
LN-48 5+half Size 6/8/10 6 D 2253
Well, okay. :>Quote:

I agree; we're just coming up to things in different directions. My intention is to come up with something to match the FJTM, while you're actually going for something that would fit in with the canon...which is perfectly understandable. Why I offered to do two versions in the first place. :)Quote:

Updated with the Connie specifications.... I'll have the FJ update tommorow. (It's largely done, but I wanted to check some things first.)
Actually, they are, just not under that name. Unfortunately, i don't have my books with me to corroborate that... Will do so when I get home...Quote:

Updated - More of the artwork collected and cleaned up, and a smattering more of write-ups. Still a lot to go, so I wouldn't call this 'usable' yet... but the direction should be obvious. :>
Keeps getting better and better...
I notice that the ship pages seem to have the pic with half a blank page, then a half a blank page with the registries and other info at the bottom.
Waiting to merge them, or is there something wrong with my .pdf reader?
Nope, just not wall to wall text yet. The 'blank' areas are where the stat blocks and write-ups for each ship will go. They just don't yet happen to have them. :) Look at the Constitution Class for a better example. First page has the stat block and profile of the ship. The second page has the registries. Filling out the rest of the pages is its basic write up and my notes. :)Quote:

Oh, if you guys find something glaring, please let me know! I'm planning on having at least one more update -- and will likely 'spin off' 48 pages to have a smaller download volume. The thing's gettin' pretty big already, and there's so much left to do...Quote:
