[edit] MIRV-equipped non-X2 ships adjustments
In a push to make SFC more SFB-like, conversion rules have been thought up to allow non-X2 ships to be equipped with MIRV racks. Such a conversion would increase the BPV of the ship by 20 BPV.
[edit] Conversion requirements
SFB rules are percentage based on the # of drone spaces on racks. Since that cannot be applied to SFC, the # of racks, themselves is instead used for the count. MIRVs, or MW in SFB, are of a "Limited" type of drone, and has corresponding percentage rules.
The percentages are the following:
- 10% of drones on non-Mirak/non-Kzinti, non-X ships can be of the "Limited" type.
- 20% of drones on Mirak/Kzinti can be of the "Limited" type.
- 20% of drones on X ships can be of the "Limited" type.
That means that on a non-X, non-Mirak ship, you need at least 10 droneracks to apply the conversion. (There is actually 1 ship that qualifies: Z-WAxDN1.)
On Mirak or X1 ships, each 5th rack can be converted to a MIRV rack, if the number of drone spaces on the ship is preserved. Usually, that means 2 B-racks become 1 MIRV-rack and 1 A-rack.
Note: Each MIRV drone is similar to the double-space MW drone from SFB. Since a MIRV rack has 4 drones per reload, that means the rack is HUGE, sporting 8 drone spaces per reload. The B rack only has 6, so something has to be done to compensate.
[edit] Conversion Method
If the ship qualifies to get a MIRV rack, do the following:
- reduce the number of B racks by 2
- removes 12 drone spaces.
- install an A rack, with the same # of reloads as the B racks that were removed.
- adds 4 drone spaces back in.
- install a MIRV rack.
- we now have 8 drone spaces left. We assign all of these to MIRV. This then matches the drone contruction changes.
