CT star base generator is ready! 1.0a

[parmasson]

so your looking for a sepereate section that allows more user input? were there other things it could have? missing? incorrect?

Yes on user input and the sensors give me pause. Are the sensors done to a Traveller standard? FFS, MT, TNE (etc. . . .)?

making graphics for qbasic is very LONG....

Graphics are eye candy. If they don’t assist game play then forget about them.

senors...

no those were just an idea i had for some
type of measurement based on AU's...

CT wasnt very clear on it and i dont
have FFS MT or TNE...

i assumed class A starbases would be able
to broadcast and detect a whole solar system
based on earths solar system of 38+ AU's
to Pluto, class B a little less, class C
alot less and D E and X very small 7 AU's or so..

if someone has a chart they can post for me
i'll consider those alternative 'verses for
the criteria..

83' Starter Edition Traveller lists the detection range of non military ships out to ½ light second. Military sensors out to 1 light second and once a sensor lock has been established it can be tracked out to 3 light seconds.

MT I don’t have

FF&S shows an Active EMS (radar thing) with a range of 480,000 km
I got FFS (TNE) last night so I have not had a chance to really read it yet. Could our design experts give us a hand here?

wow thats small...just a little bigger
then the distance between the earth and
the moon(240,000m)...


hmmm not sure i was was just guessing hopefully we
do have a local expert that can help us....


i've had apoorx. 25+ downloads of the program
and only 1 error was reported so i am moving
forward with version 1.1b.

its now ready here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Gal24/

NEW:
naval and scout bases
extra txt files for explainantions


HELP:
the generic commerical base i consider
about 50% my opinion and not fact but
with naval and scouts i consider it
80% opinion and not fact...i'll need
some input on this from you guys if
my opinion is way off...let me know
what you think....read the naval/scout
txt file for info...

The only nit so far is that all military bases need at least “X” number of missile turrets. I generated a naval base with no missile turrets.

CT missiles have been done. If you want to know the gist of it PM me.

okay how about this:

lets say a base gets 200 turrets
if i divide that into 1/2 missles
and 1/2 beam/pulse/sand would that
be kosher?

so the listing would look like:

Turrets: 100 Type: (B,S) 100 (M,M) Missles: XXXX

and i can make it varible as 1 2 or 3 turret also.

Half may be a bit much but it is a personal call. Well, on second thought missiles are longer range and if you are a big orbiting target you want that range.

Personally I would want at least 20%.
For the purposes of the generator I would make them just as likely as any other kind of armament with a minimum of one triple turret.

thanks...

i've read it now........

i like the idea of every 5 tons of bridge gives you .25LS range

how about this...

i divide bridge tonage by 5....then divide
by 1/4(.25ls)...gives you X LS of range?

-----------------------
example:
using 1 base i made 1100 tons of bridge

so 1100/5 = 220 1/4(.25LS) peieces

so 220 / 4 1/4(.25LS) = 55 LS range

55 LS = 13.2 million miles range...

not very far at all...but kosher?
----------------------------------

and i could make each starbase Class ABCDEX
have a minimum range to create a variable
situation...

A = 25 ls
b = 12 ls
c = 6 ls
d = 3 ls
e and x = 1 ls

OR

subtract stuff from overall performance

A = -1 ls
B = -3 ls
C = -6 ls
D = -12 ls
e and x = -25 ls

[parmasson]

Sounds reasonable. Make sensors ranges in light seconds or km IMHO.
