== SFB->SFC Conversion: Heavy War Destroyer Rules ==

Heavy war destroyers are modular ships with both weapon option mounts (rear facing) and non-weapon options (systems). These can thus be configured into many different configurations. Conversion rules are therefore needed because of the options

=== Basic rules ===

* See R6's G33.1.
* See SFB Annex #8H for costs, in various modules after R6 was released

=== Roles to create ===

The following HDW roles are expected:

* carrier / pf tender
* escort
* commando
* survey
* warship

.. note: you don't HAVE to do just limit yourself to those above. You can create any variant you want if it's a good ship!
ie:
* casual carrier warship
** doesn't need escort
* marine warship
** NWOs equipped solely with transporters and barracks. No need for that extra stuff.

Please see their respective sections below on how to set these up in the shiplist.

=== Carrier HDW ===

See R6's G33.42.

* Must have at least 8 SFB fighters to qualify as carrier
* the ship already has 2 fighters. remember that.

'''How to apply conversion:'''
* convert all Power options to fighterbays
** no cost for conversion from APR/AWR that have a '*'
* convert all NWOs to fighterbays
** +2 BPV per box converted
* apply the 2/3 SFB conversion to fighters
** ie: 10 SFB fighters -> 6 SFC fighters (2 groups of 3 fighters)
** increase the BPV by 2 per fighter (so likely +12 BPV)
** set up base fighters for the race
* Add 1 deck crew per SFB fighter
** at no extra cost
* pick weapons that will have low impact on the power curve
** ie: drone, PLaD, Phaser.
* Add CARRIER Enhanced Shiplist Role
* Set SpecialRole to 'V' unless 'R'estricted is necessary
** ie: unique or conjectural ship
* Set type to CARRIER unless SPECIAL is necessary
** ie: LDR are all SPECIAL

=== PF Tender HDW ===

See R6's G33.46.

* Must have 2 special sensors in rear weapon options
** +10 BPV per sensor. Sucks I know.
* Must have 6 tractors with mech links
* Must have repair boxes for the PFs.

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* replace all APR power options with Repair boxes
** at no additional cost of course
* install 4 tractors with mechlinks in the NWOs
** +2 per tractor with mechlink, so +8 BPV
* install mechlinks ''(IF NECESSARY)'' on the ship's own 2 tractors
** +1 per tractor, so +2 BPV
* pay for the 4 interceptors
** +10 BPV per interceptor, so +40 BPV
* Add PF_TENDER Enhanced Shiplist Role
* Set SpecialRole to 'V' unless 'R'estricted is necessary
** ie: unique or conjectural ship
* Set type to CARRIER unless SPECIAL is necessary
** ie: LDR are all SPECIAL

=== Escort HDW ===

See R6's G33.43

* no heavy weapons in weapon options
* All power options must be converted to fighterbays
* Aegis must be installed.
** +1 BPV per weapon controlled by limited aegis
** +2 BPV per weapon controlled by full aegis
** "All direct-fire weapons including G racks and plasma racks much be under aegis control"
** weapon options are limited to:
*** phasers
*** ADDs
*** Type G racks
*** PLaD

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* convert all power options to fighterbays
** at no extra cost
** you don't actually buy the fighters
* the NWOs can be whatever you want.. however I have suggestions
** more tractors! Get at least 2 more
*** +1 BPV per tractor
** labs on the rest, which would be useful to ID incoming weapons
*** +2 BPV per lab
* chose a good weapon for defensive configuration
** you can create a different version for each possibility if you want
** plasma races: I strongly recommend the PLaD!
** drone races: Use the DroG!
** hydrans: can have PhG
** others: use phasers
* increase the BPV for the aegis, likely FULL aegis
** +2 BPV per weapon
* Set the ship's Enhanced Shiplist Role as ESCORT
* Set the SpecialRole to 'E' unless 'R'estricted is needed.

=== Commando HDW ===

See R6's G33.44

* must have at least 2 barracks
* must have at least 2 cargo
* must have at least 2 GAS shuttles and 1 HTS shuttle

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* convert all power options to shuttle bays
** we can't do GAS or HTS shuttles, so we'll just add 4 more normal shuttle bays
** conversion is at no cost. Shuttles are included
* Set up 2 NWOs are Cargo boxes
** +1 BPV per cargo box
* Set up the rest of the NWOs as Barracks
** +1 BPV per barracks
*** Add 10 marines to Marines Base per barracks
*** Add 20 marines to Marines Max per barracks
* weapons can be whatever, but keep in mind you don't have your power options, so try to use weapons that won't break your power curve
** phasers
** PLaDs
** Drones/ADDs
** PLaFs? (stasis)
* Add the Enhanced Shiplist Role "COMMANDO"
* Set the class type (aka hull type) to "SPECIAL"
* Set the SpecialRole to "M" unless "R"estricted

=== Survey HDW ===

See R6's G33.41 (Exploration)

* must have 2 special sensors
* all Power Options to be converted to cargo
* have an additional Probe-10 launcher installed
* have 2 labs added

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* convert all power options to cargo
* the 2 weapon options are Special Sensors
** +20 BPV. sucks, I know.
* convert one of the NWOs to a probe-10
** +2 BPV
* convert 2 NWOs to labs
** +2 BPV per lab
* the last NWO is ''all'' up to you. I would recommend another lab box.
* set the Enhanced Shiplist Role to SURVEY
* set the SpecialRole to 'S', or if you must, 'R'estricted
* leave the Class Type alone, unless you HAVE to set it to SPECIAL for a different reason

=== Warship HDW ===

* This is the standard configuration, and there are no special requirements

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* Leave the power options alone! Power is good.
* the NWOs can be anything that make sense. I would recommend a little of everything.
** ie: +1 transporter, +1 tractor, +1 lab, +1 shuttle bay and shuttle
*** +1 BPV +1 BPV +2 BPV +3 BPV == +7 BPV
* the weapons can be whatever fits
** make a variant for each decent possibility?
* Add Enhanced Shiplist Role "WARSHIP"

=== Casual Carrier HDW ===

* leave the power options alone!
* convert all the NWOs to fighterbays

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* Leave the power options alone! Power is good.
* the NWOs become fighter bays
** +2 BPV per bay
* Add basic fighters
** This would be around 6 fighters in SFB
** with the 2/3 rule, this usually makes it 4 fighters in SFC. (2 groups of 2)
** +2 BPV per SFC fighter.
* the weapons can be whatever fits
** make a variant for each decent possibility?
* Add Enhanced Shiplist Role "WARSHIP"

=== Marine Warship HDW ===

* leave the power options alone!
* convert the NWOs to barracks and transporters

'''How to apply conversion:'''

* Leave the power options alone! Power is good.
* change the NWOs to barracks and transporters
** ie: 2 barracks and 2 transporters
*** +2 BPV +2 BPV == +4 BPV
*** increase the Marines Base by 10 per barracks
*** increase the Marines Max by 20 per barracks
* the weapons can be whatever fits
** make a variant for each decent possibility?
* Add Enhanced Shiplist Role "WARSHIP"
