Two TCS questions

[Black Globe Generator]

Two quick TCS questions:

1. Does TCS cover how many tons a given shipyard can produce in a year?

2. How are the number of available pilots determined?

Thanks in advance!

The formula for shipyard capacity is given on page 33 of TCS. It's based on the planetary population and the planetary government modifier.

Capacity (in dtons)=(Population x Gov't Modifier)/1000

For a TCS campaign, pilots are said to be unlimited, since a planet with enough population to afford a serious fleet will have so many people that getting enough pilots is no trouble. This is stated in the last sentence of the INITIAL FLEETS paragraph on page 32.

Thanks very much for the speedy reply, The Oz!

One follow-up: Was there a tournament-game thing about limiting pilots, as a means of determining how many fighters your fleet could bring to the table? Or am I imagining again?

Yes, there is a tournament game pilot limit.

Whew!

I may be feverish and delusional as a rule, but at least I wasn't imagining that.

Thanks very much!
