Alternate Technologies

Tired of the same old ships slugging it out?
(Highlight areas for easier reading...)

The whole concept seems nearly impossible to make work with the Construction Manual.
That's almost exaclty why I came up with the simple following concept:

            "If a race's computer system can handle the same amount of WDF that
                    a component would require from the original race's technology, then
                    it could work..."

Basically, if you've got a races whose computer capabilities can handle the systems you want,
then go for it! Naturally, some races will be at a serious disadvantage due to low WDF factors,
but since we played using Combat Efficiency(C.E.), it's all equal. Races with smaller/weaker ships
tend to travel/congregate in larger numbers, it's called survival...

I'll simply give you the Race Form for further use.

        It has on occasion occured to me that some exceptional races build mighty examples of
    their technology. I decided to call these technological marvels "Mega-types", and sprinkled the
    term among certain race's forms. The impact of this is that any item so enhanced is TEN TIMES as
    powerful, heavy, power-hungry or producing. This will naturally affect the construct's C.E. with
    greater WDF, weight, and Super Structure Requirements. WER, IER, DPC, and SER's are NOT
    affected though, and Power Efficiency does not get altered.

So as to prevent TOO much confusion, I have happily supplied a wide range of options
for races below(many of whom will be familiar to you), most of whom have notations for
use in the Star Trek universe:

We'll start with an interpetation of some Babylon 5 Races;

The Centauri

The Drazzi

The Minbari

The Narn

The Shadows

And the Vorlons

The Vorlons attack..!
