Here's the TCS budget stuff that Cynthia asked for:
Revenue: B = Cr500 x GM x P
B=budget in credits, GM=government percentage modifier, P=population
Government Percentage Modifiers
Type 0 1 2 3 4 5 8 9 A B C D
Peace .50 .80 1.00 .90 .85 .95 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.10 1.20 .75
War 1.50 1.40 1.50 1.20 1.45 1.40 1.20 1.20 1.50 1.20 1.50 1.50
Government type 6 (captive) pays at the rate of its parent state, type 7
(balkanized) have different rates for each government.
Yard Capacity: C = P x GM / 1000
C=capacity in tons, P and GM are the same as above
And here's the next High Guard design:
The _Exclesior_ class Battleship
BB-1 Excelsior BB-R6357F4-590106-00Q08-0 MCr86,649.2 100,000 tons
batteries bearing Y 7 1 L Crew=1070.
batteries Z A 1 U TL=12.
Low=535. Cargo=5. Fuel=37,000. EP=7000. Agility=5. Marines=300.
Y=35, Z=50
Notes: This ship has a frozen watch, fuel scoops, and purification plant.
This is the original version of the _Excelsior_ class. The NFN built 15
of these ships, most of them named for historical battleships. The
exception was the lead ship, which was named for a fictitious ship class
from Star Trek. This version of the ship saw action during the Old
Islands War and the Topas War--following the Topas War, FAdm Connor
described it as "the best battleship in the Islands."
This class also received the Series A refit immediately after the wars.
BB-1 Series A BB-R6357H4-590307-00R09-0 MCr86,286.3 100,000 tons
batteries bearing Y 7 1 L Crew=1070.
batteries Z A 1 U TL=12(14).
Low=535. Cargo=527. Fuel=37,000. EP=7000. Agility=5. Marines=300.
Y=35, Z=50
Notes: This ship has frozen watch, scoops, plant. The refit cost
MCr1,887.6 per ship and took 15 weeks.
The Series A _Excelsior_ wasn't a major improvement over the original
version. The Admiralty felt that upgrading the battleships further would
delay improvements on other ships unacceptably, so the upgrade was
postponed.
The battleship _Musashi_ was officially handed over to the Alliance Navy
in 5629, and served as the flagship of the Alliance for several years.
The Series A version of the battleship saw action in the Serendip War. 13
of the ships participated in the defence of Neubayern, and two of them
were lost or damage beyond repair.
The 13 surviving _Excelsiors_ fled to the safe worlds when the Imperials
arrived. During the Occupation, the ship received a major refit,
effectively becoming a new class of ships.
