Using SSDS as a resource for the QSDS

[Renard Ruche]

Ok, I have been having some fun with the QSDS & the Book of Big Hulls. I was hoping to use the SSDS as a resource for the QSDS, but I am having some issues. Granted, I have only taken a quick look (and I started going cross-eyed when I started using the SSDS), but it doesn't seem that things like weapons can be ported over. As an example, I assumed that the 'civilian' lasers in the QSDS are the same as the 'Low Powered' lasers in the SSDS, but I cannot find a correlation between power usage.

So, my questions are: Can I port any systems (sensors, weapons, commo) over to the QSDS from the SSDS, or do I have to use one desgign system or the other? Any easy way to add armor to QSDS designs? Are surface areas for certain things (i.e. hangers) different for a mathmatical reason that I can recalculate?

Any help/advice would be appreciated!

There is a mapping from SSDS to QSDS to FFS2 to STRIKER to Whatever. Guy Garnett wrote up one of them in a post to the TML. Let me see if I can find the article... somewhere in the Missouri Archives I think...

Nope. There are conversion notes on armor, though.

SSDS and QSDS map back to FF&S1 (TNE) to some degree. FF&S2 (T4) came after.

Does anyone know if the SSDS available on-line is erratted(sp)?
