This may be of some importance. I came across this quote in the second book in the trilogy.

As I referred to above, I have read those novels, but it has been a long time. IIRC, access to control that ancient alien tech was hidden and uncovered in the plot of the novels. Did the Empire ever h ...

I recommend also reading the Corellian trilogy. I just finished, “Ambush at Corellia”, two weeks ago. In that novel, they projected a gravity well projector around an entire solar system. Naturall ...

Well I am working on weapons which means the translation is almost complete. We have fighters with more than 2 weapon systems. This brings up fire linking and game balance. Second edition and Revised ...

I think West End games was smart not to specify what speed the particular space transport was traveling when the benchmarks were set. It is the purview of the game master to assign a speed that those ...

I treat those benchmarks as if they are minimum sublight speed, that is to say “Space: 1”, an A-Wing (RAW) travels 12 times faster at cruising speed. At all out speed, it’s moving 48 times faste ...

So after exhaustive comparisons of every metric in the X-wing Alliance PC Game to the West End Games Hyperdrive Multiplier, I could not find a correlation better than about 7%. The results with 7% cor ...

I am going to skip over the Hyperdrive multiplier translation because the task is proving to be a fragmented mess.
