 Posted: Thu Jan 21, 2016 12:12 pm Post subject: Starship cargo capacity to cargo volume conversion |
 |
|
I'm losing my mind here -
Wasn't there a conversion formula between either 1E and 2E, or 2E and 2ERE for converting cargo capacity to cargo volume? I know I've seen it but that game function quietly went away between the different editions of SWRPG.
I also noticed that the 2E edition of Tramp Freighters does not include a fuel consumption chart, where 1E does.
Can anyone explain these changes or the reason for them? |

The conversion rate is found in Pirates and Privateers, IIRC, and was 100 cubic meters per 50 metric tons.
The 1E fuel consumption rules were likely removed for being a bit too crunchy, dragging down the pace of the story.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Commenting for future bookkeeping, it's actually in Far Orbit, page 22. |

Ah. Well, if something could be said to be in the same book while being in different books, it would be found in Pirates & Privateers / The Far Orbit Project.

LOL, just tape the two books together and call it The Pirates & Privateers Project.
