Has anyone converted any EV ships to Traveller terms? Especially the Kestrel or IPV Corvette from the original game? Thank you!
 
Dunno bout that, but someone was working on an evo or evn total conversion for the marches...

BTW, someone out there in traveller land asked me a long time ago to point out when EV for Windows came out...

it's out. EVN is available for windows, and EV and EVO total conversions are available for it.

www.ambrosiasw.com or direct to the EVN page

Hmm, interesting idea Jame, don't know why it didn't occur to me ages ago...

Of course there would be some problems and assumptions to make in the translation...

Get to it, Man! Move - ooo, pretty! ;)
 
I've been thinking about this recently, and I realized tht if you have the MGT TMB, you can use it to make EV ships fairly easily if you use the Hyperdrive rule, provided that you have the ship be the same size as the regular jump drive.

Other considerations:
*Ship size to not exceed 2000 tons
*Power plants and manuever drives do not need fuel
*Hyperdrives' fuel needs are calculated by the size of the power plant
*Small craft can mount hyperdrives, but not bays
*Costs of all materials are reduced to 1/10th

Wasn't there something about how to convert the EV/EVO/EVN settings to Traveller?
 
Looks more like a Traveller conversion for EV to me. Though a Confed Cruiser being about the size of a Kinunir (well, a bit bigger) seems correct to me. I would put the Argosy/Allied Shipworks Freighter/Rebel Destroyer/Maskirovka corvette at about 600 tons myself.

Though as a side-thought, I was always kinda leery about the lack of staterooms on EV ships, but then again given their hyperdrive style I'm not surprised.
