I have been playing with several ideas recently, the most often occurring is how to use Book5 in a small ship universe.
Tenth scale ships in that bays are now five and ten tons and the spinal mounts and screens are divided by ten as well.
In this hardpoints are still one per 100 dTons with bays only taking one hardpoint as well.
Note PA barbettes are bay weapons while turrets still exist.
The second part is how to convert all of this into Book2 rules. Which for weapons damage is USP equals hits, basically converting the excess critical hits rule starting a zero size.
Armor is along the lines of first edition Book5 in either a ship is armored or it isn't, armored gives 4+ save vs. Hits. (Note I haven't played this rule a lot yet but it seems to work).
