Jusitified I think in that the requirements of deploying TIE fighters is a different from the requirements of deploying TIE Avengers (or whatever other swap you make) in terms of launch racks, maintainence, hanger space, etc.
Nah. Not with standard IMP fighters. Now, if you want to field X-Wings, then yes. But if you want to build new ships with more advanced fighters, just pay the upgrade cost.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
Ok I'm trying to work on my year one budget.
If I have my numbers right...
For a total of 1020 points worth of a capital ships, 337 points of upkeep correct?
In addition I have 240 points worth of star-fighters, do these count in as full 1/3 upkeep as well? Or am I only paying upkeep on my experimental units?
For installations I have 602 points worth of installations
I do not pay any upkeep on any part of these correct?
How about my 84 Star Galleons? 1 point each, if I'm using them to generate wealth via trade in addition to special purpose missions from time to time, am I pay upkeep, no upkeep or are they even making me some economic points?
And last my special purpose units (Or Unit) which is two partial regiments of the 501st? At 20 points for less than 1000 men what is my upkeep? If I'm reading it right it's 6 which is the same as maintain two heavy divisions. Which I'll pay but I expect them to be enough awesome to compensate for that.
*Edit 1, Best case my upkeep is 343 rounded up, best case it's around 457. I don't have any military outside the with planet defense but it occurs to me am I paying upkeep as well on my initial load of fighters because either free fighters on ships also have upkeep, or they don't.

FYI The Romulan Republic
Ysanne Isard is dead, even in this timeline she was shot a few months before the Dark Empire series when Iella put a blaster in her guts and she died aboard the Lusankya, as her clone died aboard on Ciutric.
It might have been kept quiet and the galaxy at large thought she died two years ago at the end of the Bacta War. The fact she survived was kept a secret, and that information likely died with Rogue squadron over Courscant.
Also for economic reasons it might be best to add a zero to all those bounties, per the EU even Doole would be worth a mil or so.
I'd wait on the mods to rule if Boba Fett is alive or dead at the moment

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
Yeah, I deliberately left Fett's status unknown, as I wasn't sure how that would be dealt with. Also perhaps a bit of a joke inspired by the controversy among fans over the character's return. Hence, he's wanted by my law enforcement, but no one knows if he's alive or dead.Mr Bean wrote:FYI The Romulan Republic

As for Isard, didn't know. I thought she lived on at this point. Guess my boys won't be finding her. So she's like one of those Nazi war criminals who was never found, who might or might not still be alive for all the authorities know.
As for bounties, remember that my faction is litterally clawing its way out of the dirt in the Outer Rim. I'm deliberately playing a less than max power faction because I sometimes prefer smaller powers, and in keeping with that they don't have a lot of cash to toss around. Its a continuity thing.
Finally, I hope you don't mind that I used one of your planets (stated to be a smuggling haven if I read your OOB right) as the source of the tip on Doole. If its a problem, the tip will turn out to be a dead end.

If you have replaced older fighters, then raise the total cost of your fighter carrying posts by the difference (example: 1 replace 1 wing on 1 ISD with a new wing, 1 point difference. Thus, I would have to raise the Ship status with +1 points and factor that in the upkeep calculations.)

They are not making you economic points. They also do not cost you upkeep, unless you use them for missions or convert them into something else. And they probably alleviate you from having to spend some of your military on defence of convoys, as everybody else has to do.How about my 84 Star Galleons? 1 point each, if I'm using them to generate wealth via trade in addition to special purpose missions from time to time, am I pay upkeep, no upkeep or are they even making me some economic points?
No, that is wrong. Your 501st would read as an elite division (same as my guards unit), which cost +5 to raise, +3 to upkeep. So if they are heavy infantry, they would cost you 11 to raise, 5 to maintain, if they have walkers, they would cost 15 to raise, 6 to maintain.And last my special purpose units (Or Unit) which is two partial regiments of the 501st? At 20 points for less than 1000 men what is my upkeep? If I'm reading it right it's 6 which is the same as maintain two heavy divisions.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
So I have a question because it has not been dealt with yet. Say given that I have taken out some of my fighters on my ships and replaced them with TIE Defenders. Now the fighters taken out they have to given some upkeep costs, but the fighters placed on the ships, what is the cost upkeep?

- fighters taken out have 1/4th upkeep as they are assigned to planetary defense, unless you scrap them. If you assign them to the fleet, 1/3 upkeep.
- fighters placed on the ships. You add the point difference to a standard wing to the total value of the ship, so upkeep in total goes up.
I'll review the OOBS tomorrow and give a list of upkeep costs.

For example, there are 48 TIE Fighter and Interceptors, and if those are replaced, they won't quite constitute a wing.
That leaves... a lot of fractional counting.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
Might be simpler just to count fighter upgrades as an entire wing, to reflect the difficulties the navy would face altering launch facilities, shifting spare parts around, and retraining pilots, if we need an in-universe explanation.
Conversion Table:
2000 Mockingbirds = 2 Kilomockingbirds
Basic Unit of Laryngitis = 1 Hoarsepower
453.6 Graham Crackers = 1 Pound Cake
1 Kilogram of Falling Figs - 1 Fig Newton
Time Between Slipping on a Banana Peel and Smacking the Pavement = 1 Bananosecond
Half of a Large Intestine = 1 Semicolon

The 501st is not heavy infantry, in fact they are ship-based infantry. The were the last pure Jango Fett clone formation in existence with the last Jango Fett clone dieing system between 15 ABY to 19 ABY. They are not at division strength, nor are they a heavy division period. At the time of Byss there were roughly 7000 of them remaining and they were broken up into Platoon or company strength as they were a formation the Emperor could count on with perfect certainty to be 100% loyal to him as they had demonstrated for the past four decades of their existence. I'll pay seven points to maintain them but don't confuse them with a division. There are under a 1000 member in my 501st. Part of that was a nod towards reality, in the chaos of a civil war claiming all of the 501st would be impossible as the Reborn Emperor would have them all over the places in critical areas. I'll claim I took the Byss contingent which leaves other people free to claim they found a few hundred here or there if they wish and pay my 10 points per 500 I'm paying.No, that is wrong. Your 501st would read as an elite division (same as my guards unit), which cost +5 to raise, +3 to upkeep. So if they are heavy infantry, they would cost you 11 to raise, 5 to maintain, if they have walkers, they would cost 15 to raise, 6 to maintain.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
The 501st would qualify as "Heavy Infantry" because they are infantry that is equipped with full-body armor. You may be getting it confused with "Heavy Division" which implies Walkers and other heavy armored equipment.

Even though we assume that shipyards have no maintenance cost that are not subsumed by construction costs why would maintenance cost for repair and resupply not also be assumed to be consumed in ship maintenance costs?

Also, the warship Honorable referred to in my IC post is a Nebulon B Frigate. It is the most powerful warship currently in system, though there are one or two Gollans under construction that will soon be fully operational. My standard system defense force is one of the things I'm still working out in my OOB, but I expect the space component will be something like a pair of Gollan Arms stations, a Nebulon B Frigate, some corvettes, and some fighters. Most of this will be in place at Myrkyr, but not entirely, as the system is still being brought into the Alliance.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
Okay. I have just found out the fighter price list is FUBAR'D. So sorry for this guys, but apparently there was a breakdown in communications.
Ignore what is written in the rules thread about fighter price lists. Here is the deal:
This is the fighter price list
So, let me try this again.
I hope this makes it any clearer, guys.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. If you have any questions, I'll be available to check all upkeep and OOB calculations come tomorrow.
Ignore what is written in the rules thread about fighter price lists. Here is the deal:
This is the fighter price list
******************************Older model starfighters: 1 points per wing (Z-95s, Eta-IIs, Cloakshapes, etc)
Standard starfighters: 2 points per wing (X-Wings, TIEs, etc)
Advanced/Specialized or Heavy starfighters: 4 points per wing (TIE Avenger ["Advanced"], Defender Mk-I, Scimitar)
Experimental: 6 points per squadron (TIE Defender Mk-II, TIE Phantom, Missile Boat)
So, let me try this again.
**************************Final word on fighter upgrades, maintenance etc.
Basic Premise:
You pay upkeep for two categories - defensive installations, ships and troops.
Ships is self explanatory. Defence installations are all repair and resupply bases, space stations and of course planetary defences not covered in the standard defence package.
Upkeep for ships is 1/3, 1/6 if they are mothballed.
Upkeep for defensive installations are 1/6.
Upkeep for troops is covered in the troop list.
Fighter upgrades:
- fighter upgrades come in one wing size (72) only for simplicity reasons. You may not buy less than one wing of new fighters.
Thus, you may go about in two ways: Either buy 72 fighters outright, or replace the entire wing of a ship with advanced craft. For example, let us assume that you have three star destroyers carrying 24 TIE/f, 24 TIE/Int and 24 Tie/B. You may now do the following:
a) Buy 72 Tie/D and replace all fighters of one type (all TIE/F on all three ISDs, for example).
b) Buy an entire new wing for one ship (example - replace all TIE/f, TIE/Int and Tie/B with TIE/Adv, TIE/D, Tie/Sc).
In either case, you have the following options when calculating upkeep:
1) scrap the existing fighters.
2) keep the existing fighters.
under option 1), you have to do the following calculations:
A ship upkeep already includes standard fighter upkeep. Now, you have chosen to replace them with newer and costlier ships. Therefore, you have to do the following:
- Add the point difference of fighter wings production costs to the standard production costs of the ship (e.g. an ISD with standard wing costs 12 pts, one with advanced fighters costs 14 pts.) Then calculate the upkeep from that new base production posts.
- If you only replace part of the wing (option a), you add the difference to 1/3/ or 2/3 of the ships only.
Under option 2),
you now have to pay full upkeep for the standard fighters. This is 1/3 if you assign them to fleet duty (e.g. Bean with his new corvette mod) or 1/6 if you assign them to garrison duty.
Keep in mind that this option will cost you upkeep for new fighters determined under option 1 and upkeep under option two as well.
***********************
Specific examples:
A: Replacing existing contingents by producing new fighters:
- Bob has two Star Destroyers and has produced two new wings of advanced fighters. This will cost him 8 pts in prodcution costs. The total point values of the ships is raised from 12 to 14 points (12-2+4=14). Thus, he would now pay 28/3 pts upkeep. Thus, the current load for his fiscal year will include 8 + 28/3 points.
- If Bob scraps the older fighters, nothing else is added. However, Bob has decided to have one wing assigned to planetary defence and one wing attached to his corvettes. Thus, he would have to pay: 8+28/3 + 2/3 +2/6 points. This will eventually come to 8 + 34/3 pts, or 8+11 pts(rounded). Thus, he would have to pay 19 pts in his fiscal assesment.
B: Replacing existing contingents from the start in the OOB:
- Bob has decided to built 6 ISDs with TIE-Ds. Thus, the base value of these ships will be: 6x (12-2+6) pts, or in total 6x16 pts. Thus, he would pay 72/3 pts upkeep (24 pts).
C: Stripping a ship of its wing:
- To prevent people from being dicks and having their fighters always moved planetside, fighter wings moved planetside and not having had a replacement will still count as assigned to the ship.
Example: Bob has a standard Star Destroyer with a standard complement. He will pay 4 pts (12/3) upkeep on it if the wing is onboard and 4 points upkeep if he stationed it planetside.
I hope this makes it any clearer, guys.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. If you have any questions, I'll be available to check all upkeep and OOB calculations come tomorrow.

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
I'd edit in A Wing's, B-Wing's and E-Wing's to your advanced group.
Because right now the fighters are not split into groups

And I say we set our OOB's as final by Monday June 1st so we can kick off the first offical year.

Good division, but the TIE Predator is definitely a very much experimental model and might even deserve to be struck as it is +100 years technology.
I'll have a look at the rebel fighters tomorrow.

TIE Support Craft
The labels need to be generic so at a glance what they are.
I'd also like to ask for information on the following makes and models of TIE fighters
TIE Thrust
TIE Claw
TIE Retribution
TIE Predator
TIE Smasher
Because wookiepedia and google strike out
I can find pictures but no description or more importantly when they were used.
And yes TIE Predator, 100's IN THE FUTURE! ehhhh.... no

Re: SDN Wars: A Galaxy Divided: OOC
We are actually allowing the TIE Predator? I actually considered researching a prototype similar to it. But if no research is required...
