Converting the KH ships to SwoN

Alright some things are obvious:

patrol boat hull: ships come in fighter, patrol boat, frigate, cruiser and capitol ship hulls

Ships fitting:
Atmospheric configuration- obvious for the assault scout

Now if the assault scout is a naval verses a milita ship it might also have Extended stores, and fuel bunker

If its a militia ship instead of a naval ship it might have boarding tubes

both might have emissions dampers to make detection more difficult.

Defenses- only two that can be used on fighters and patrol boats and one slows the ship- so Hardened Polyceramic Overlay

Multifocal laser seems like a decent conversion for the LB

no good conversion for assault rockets except possibly the Fractal Impact charge which is a weapon with ammo of (4) and description says: A spray of penetrator sabots that use fractal surfacing to increase impact. Favored for bomber class fighter hulls.


I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

The Space Fleet Frigate

Frigate hull

Defenses:
Hardened Polyceramic Overlay,
The KHs frigate has MSx2 and ICM x4
but there are no good analogs in SwoN but there are two more defenses that a frigate can carry: Grav Eddy Displacer, Point Defense lasers. I'd just give the SwoN frigate all three of these

Weapons
Multifocal laser for the LB
Torpedo Launcher for the Torp
Plasma Beam for the LC
Flak Emitter Battery for the RB

Ships fittings (these were chosen with an eye to the ship going on deep patrol):
Armory
drive upgrade (not sure which till I dig into it but whatever seems to give the SwoN frigate the range of the KHs frigate ie 3 jumps till an overhaul)
Extended life support
Extended med bay
Extended stores
fuel bunkers might be the ticket to simulating the range of the KHs frigate
lifeboats
