3e-4e Vehicle Conversion Question

cybermancer2k1 · 10-02-2004, 03:36 PM

I was trying to convert some GURPS Traveller starships to 4e using the examples in Book 2 as a guide. I'm not quite sure what the relationship is between the vehicle's ST and its Loaded Weight/Load. I assumed going in that the ST is calculated based on the vehicles Loaded Weight or Load, but my numbers keep coming up unbalanced. How is the ST for a vehicle calculated under 4e? Should it be calculated per the rules in Book 1 or Update, or is there a formula missing somewhere?

All the other vehicle stats transferred over very smoothly (HP, DR, etc.) I just got stuck on the ST-Wt. ratio thing.
