I mutilated Larry's original starship design worksheet and came up with this:

http://starfrontiers.us/node/3638


It isn't canon, and it ain't pretty, but it works. Instead of MHS points, I used a Hull Point system similar to Alternity's ship design system.

I used a couple of Shadow Shack's gizmos(the Deflector Shield(1 HP per point of Hull Size, can take up to (HS+1) hits before going offline, absorbing 75% damage each hit)and the Heavy Laser Cannon(6 HP; 6D10 hull damage*).

Download it, play with, tell me what you think.

LOL.

Don't thank me yet, Rummie....

Oh, the HLC does 6d10 damage in my system. In Shadow's game, where I "borrowed" it from, it does   
2d10+3 hull damage.

Spreadsheets; just enough power to get you in trouble.... ;-)

Although I am thinking of something based on space, similar to Frontiers of Design.... Although getting to a LOT of options around here....

Sweet, I've downloaded it and will check it out.
We might be able to take all these ideas and put them into a Canon version and a Better-Than-Canon version. :-D

Someone might even have time to code it into this web site.
haha...
