Thanks to all those who gave me advice on G4e books. I'm now happily working my way through Ultra-Tech, with Martial Arts on the shelf in waiting.
But I'm wondering if anyone has figured this energy question out-- that is, converting the various Power Cells into energy storage/output equivalents. It seems like Ultra-Tech bags the question when it comes to "external power", and basically assumes that the Semi-Portable Fusion Generator and its like supply as much power as one needs. Did I miss that part? Has someone bothered to calculate the energy storage/output of the various power cells? Is it possible? This came up because I continue to hammer away at my "G4e: A More Generic Starship Builder". It was initially based on an amalgamation of the Interstellar Wars system and guidelines from G3eR: Space 2nd Ed.. I've been refining it gradually through playtesting and just number crunching. Now I'm trying to add consistency with G4e: Ultra-Tech-- that is adapting some of the more macroscopic items from UT into my Builder. Conversion issues with energy consumption/production for jury-rigging is becoming an issue, even without resolving some discrepancies in translating (game-balanced) conversions of dDR, dHP, and damage vs. "ddamage". Anyway, thanks for any insights on the subject! -vk _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
