Is there possibly a Spacedock Lite in our future? I am simply overwhelmed by the vast amount of information generated by starship creation in this game. I liked the shorter write ups in the rule books and on Trek-RPG.net, but find the Spacedock write ups huge.
Well, I certainly have no intention to create anything like that. Someone else could try to come up with their own condensation of the templates if they wanted.
Yup...there's stuff about transfering the SD stuff to the old rules. In general, I use the original LUG rules because they're simple, though I like the flet rules and the space crap (asteroids, etc...) rules. The expanded hit tables are really nice, as well.
The main thing I've done is take some of the other power costs and apply them (structural integrity, inertial dampners, etc...) at the cost of the hull size; this was more to recapture the 'don't have the power' troubles the ships seem to run into.
If I remember correctly in Spacedock, there are instructions for converting the Spacedock stats into the old stats that were in the Sourcebooks. I could be wrong, but something about it being mentioned.
