Topic: SFC3 ship rating system

[James Formo]

I came up with a straight forward system for rating the ships.  Here is the ratings for the Feds.  All ships are stock except the ones with an asterick. Those are ones I have added so far for the mod.
SHIP             STRENGTH
Sovereign:   1000
Galaxy:         876
*Titan:           815
*Black Elk:     803
Nebula:         745
Excelsior      599
Akira:           596
Intrepid:       440
Defiant        429
*Cheyeene: 362
Norway:      305
*Nebraska:  257
Saber:         219
*Raven:       190

How did you come up with it? What do you base it on?

From these 4 ship attributes in the DefaultCore.gf    I will show the stats for the Sovvy and the galaxy

SHIP                            PowerPlantSpace            WeaponSpace               HullSpace              ShieldSpace

Sovereign                    9500                                 2900                             6700                 32000
Galaxy                         8500                                 2200                             6500                 28000



This is just a guide, not an exact science    I just decided the Sovvy would be 1000 points for easy reference. So I
figured each of the sovvy's catagories would be 250 points  times 4 coloumbs and walla 1000.

From there the rest of the ships are percentages of the sovvy  ie:  Galaxy power = 8500 divided by 9500 x 250 =224
round off to nearest whole #

Galaxy Weapon = 2200 divided by 2900 x 250=190         Hull =243    Shield =219  add the 4 groups and the galaxy rates as 876.


I plan on using this in my mod just so folks have a quick guide as to where ships that are added compare to Stock ships. Also will be basing the cost of ships roughly on there rated strength.
