Simulator Race Conversions: STCS to SFB

Post by Meteo »

ANd now, we are on the Simulator Race Ships!

First determine the tech level of the ship.
This should be obvious, but you can base it on the "Year in Service" listed
on the FASA sheet, as follows:

FASA Date 1/50 1/88 1/98 2/12 2/17 2/22 2/39 2/75 3/03
Tech Level -1X 0Xe 0Xs 0Xl 1X 2Xe 2Xs 2Xl 3X
Multipler "T" -1 -.5 0 .5 1 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0
Battery Capacity 1/2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Offensive Phaser Laser Ph-2 Ph-1 Ph-1 Ph-5 Ph-6 Ph-6 Ph-6 Ph-7
Defensive Phaser Laser Ph-0 Ph-3 Ph-3 Ph-1 Ph-5 Ph-5 Ph-5 Ph-6

The Multiplier "T" is used for some of the system conversions.

The following chart shows what you divide the FASA system by to get how many
SFB boxes the SSD has.
For example, to get number of Bridge boxes, divide the Superstructure by 10.
(you can round up or down depending on the size of the vessel)
To get number of Emer boxes, divide Superstructure by 10 then subtract 1.
Sometimes two systems are listed with a + between them. You calculate each
then add the result. For example, if a Fed has 120 Crew and 60 Troops, the
SSD version would have 120/40 + 60/6 = 13 Boarding Parties.
See the bottom of the chart for what the "*1X", "*+T" notations mean.

Weapons:

For each weapon, take the number of weapon type and multiply by the number
listed below. That is number of "Offensive Phasers" (listed all the way
at the top of this sheet) you have. You may alternatively have some of
the phasers converted to twice the number of "Defensive Phasers".
For example, if you're a 1X Fed ship with 8 FH-11's, you have 16 PH-5's.
See the bottom of this section for arcs.

Put AFD on FRAX, ADD on Deltans, and Drone Racks on FRAX, Qari and Britanian Drone Ships.
Put Pl-D on Canadi'ens, Chaff and Bomb Throwers on Sharkhunters.

Arcs:

FASA Arc: f f/p f/s a a/p a/s f/p/s a/p/s
SFB Arc (narrow) FA LF+L RF+R RA L+LR R+RR FH RH
SFB Arc (wide) FH LP RP RH LPR RPR FX RX
SFB Arc (v.wide) FX RF+LS LF+RS RX RR+LS LR+RS LP+RP LPR+RPR

Phasers are wide, Torpedoes are narrow at 0X.
Phasers are v.wide, Torpedoes are wide at 1X-2X.

Other Data:

SFB Move Cost = (FASA Move Cost)/4.

Size Class/Turn Mode: After you're done the SSD, add up the number of
internals and reference the table below. It lists the Size Class of
the ship and how many impulse boxes you need to have a given turn mode.
For example, if you have 100 internals and 4 impulse, you would be size
class 3 and have a turn mode of D. (you need 6 impulse for turn mode C)
I have a much more detailed version of this table which I will present
when I convert the FASA Construction Manual.

# Impulse boxes needed for turn mode
