Er, what? I thought both ships have 30 warp, 5 impulse and 2 APR for a total of 37.The Romulan KR has 46 engine boxes and 87 total. The Klingon D6 has 40 and 89, respectively.
(The boom emergency impulse engine on the D6 becomes an APR on the KR since Romulan officers don't believe in running off and abandoning their crew when things go pear-shaped.
They blow up the whole ship instead).
A minor misunderstanding. I didn't mean 'balanced' in terms of points value, I meant 'balanced' tactically. In the SFU the Fed DN and the C8/9 are relatively well matched against each other; in Starmada, that extra one point of forward shield halves the effectiveness of fire against the DN, compared with the Klingon ships. That's one heck of a 'rounding factor'.Quote:
In SFB the various ship types are usually balanced against each other quite closely (oddballs such as the Tholians and the WYN aside).
I made the decision not to try to match SFB/FC point values when converting; more important was to ensure each weapon/system did something comparable to its SFU incarnation, and hopefully the points would work out closely. As it is, they are nearly perfect, but there are some anomalies.
(Seriously, in a fleet-level game like Starmada, having an additional shield point in the forward hexside is not as big of an advantage as it would be in a duel.)
