We can generate these ships from that data export tab, as the new version of SpaceShipPDF nears completion!
This includes extending the custom font of "defensive shapes" to cover Screens and Filters as well as armor.
What's significant is these came straight from SpaceShipPDF! No editing needed!
![More realistic settings, using only Mode 2 movement, with 256 second turns, 0.25 G thrust increments, fuel and magnetic sails use this table instead:
[Table showing different turn lengths/game scales/thrust scaling and fuel scaling, ranging from Newton's Cradle tactical hexes to the delta-V map printed in that product.]
Once the scale transitions out of the first row of the table, maximum thrusts halve at each step. Retain fractions as a way of determining which turns (out of a consecutive set of two or four turn) that you can apply thrust 1 on. Note that the fuel efficiency does not improve between the second and third rows!
Once you’ve reached the third row of the table, you may switch to the fourth row freely; your ships using magnetic sails, dropping their thrust to 6 milligees, taking 100 turns of thrust to generate 1 hex/turn of tactical velocity change,, but spending no fuel. If your setting has a delta-V, transitioning to magsail use means you should switch to the delta-V map and the (much longer) turn lengths.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wvjc5dwat7ahwdhpbk5aj5k3/bafkreif7koncaqtcjqlgaaw75s2bokfookywefhaxsljcbji24ideeefwu)
