Taking previous posts into account, and rounding out the Traveller
weapons/systems:
Treat Sandcasters and Repulsors as PDAF (with anti Missile capability as
in
MT)
Treat Nuclear Dampers as PDAF but effective only against normal missiles
(not EMP or Needle
missiles), but most ships have so many sandcasters that these can
probably
be ignored.
Lasers and other turreted weapons can be used as anti missile (see MT
p5)
So here's the Atlantic Class Heavy Cruiser in FT terms:
MEGASHIP (75,000 tons) 150 Mega Mass
75 Mega Mass available for Weapons and Systems.
MMASS COST
Hull - 3000
FTL Drive - 1500
Thrust -5 - 15000
1 Factor-N Meson Gun 19 570
6 * 3-arc A batteries 1.8 78 (particle accelerators)
21 *1-arc Mega C batteries 21 630 (laser turrets)
3 * Mega Missile 6 180
16 * Mega PDAF 16 480 (sandcaster turrets)
1 * Factor-6 Meson Screen 6 180
TOTAL 69.8 21618
