Star Wars
Conversion to Full Thrust Fleet Book

With the release of the Fleet Book & new construction rules, I decided to convert all the starwars ships to the new stats in preparation to run a PBeM game.

The ships of the Evil Galactic Empire.
The ships of the Rebellion (New Republic).

I used several criteria in converting the stats from the StarWars RPG:
The mass of capital ships is 22% of it's length in metres (this balances all the designs).
A hull of 4D+1 or less equals a weak hull with some armour.
A hull of 4D+2 or more equals an average hull.
A hull of 6D+1 or more equals a strong hull.
The thrust is equal to the old die code, or half the new sublight speed.
Shields of 2D equal screen-1 & shields of 3D equal screen-2.
A squadron of 12 SW fighters = 1 FT fighter squadron.
Turbolasers convert as class-3 beam weapons.
Ion cannon convert as class-2 beam weapons.
Tractor beams convert as class-1 beam weapons.
Antistarfighter weapons convert to PDS.
Concussion Missiles/Proton Torpedoes (capital scale) convert to pulse torpedoes.

Several minor tweaks were made to some designs to make them balace.
Also note that few large capital ships have any anti-starfighter defences, preferring to rely upon their own fighters for protection.
