I've already got that form done. And a bunch of others -- something like 50 pages' worth of various forms and game aids.

Don has the basic files -- in MS Publisher -- and will post 'em as soon as he has the time to PDF-ify them, I'm sure.

I also have a question.

In the tactical section, you list a type X phaser doing 200 damage when the core books ssay it does only 20. I notice this problem for all the weapons (disruptors, torpedoes).

Is this SpaceDock your version or is it LUGs version?

Steve had previously noted long time passing, D.W., that one of the changes in S.D. was a change in the damage scale. Things get jacked up by a factor of 10, which means that your ship's resistance and Armor and shields are likewise increased in scale. Bear in mind that most ships in LUGTrek 'basic' system have a Resistance of 4-5 ... in Spacedock, you can have as much as 10, not to mention Ablative Armor of up to 1500 pts value.

It's not a "problem" at all. It's a feature of the new, advanced rules. I can't do advanced rules covering all the necessary situations, permutations, and details that a full-blown starship combat entails with a dinky ol' 1-20 type of scale. I need a lot more granularity than that, so I pretty much upped things by a factor of 10 across the board. This allows for a lot more flexibility in the creation and use of ship systems, etc.

Well, it's the version that I, as a LUG employee, wrote as part of my job. However, if LUG had ever published it, it would have been much shorter and less detailed. So, in a sense, it's both.
