STCS to SFB Conversion: Transporter and Impulse Counts

Post by Meteo »

This is the direct ratio, from FASA'S STCS to The normal amount of Tran and Imp Boxes ADB put on SFB ships.

For Personnel Transporters, add 1 Tran Box per 2 Personnel Transporters
For Combat Transporters, add 1 Tran Box per 2.5 Combat Transporters
For Cargo Transporters, add 1 Tran Box per 3 Cargo Transporters
For Emergency Transporters, add 1 Tran Box per 4 Emergency Transporters

For Impulse Engines, it starts off at a simple 1:1 Conversion Ratio, then becomes more simple and abstract as the STCS Impulse Power increases:

STCS Power: SFB Imp Boxes

1: 1
2: 2
3, 6: 3
4, 8: 4
5, 10: 5
11-27: 6
28-31: 7
32: 8
Each +2 STCS Power: +1 Imp
