Need help designing FT Naval crafts.

OK, the deal is: I'm an FT nation who is updating its factbook. I need help designing both conventional ships for FT use, as well as armour values for tanks and spaceships. Anyone care to help?

Bump.
My main concern is PMT crafts.

Noone?
Well, some people use the Star Wars value of "RU" for strength of armor and shields. Others just describe what makes up their armor, and then give a general description fo what can the armor stand up to.

How is the unit RU defined and do you have anything that I can use as comparisation for what would be realistic values?

Anyone? Can't seem to find it with google.

well, the first few things to remember about spacecraft:
for every action, there is an oppisite reaction.
in space, noone can hear you scream.
most people seem to forget these basic facts. as for waterbased craft, remember the difference between mass and displacement, and the fact that things like supercavitating torpedos are likely to become more commonplace.

Didn't quite understand what you meant with that.
And I'm not too familiar with anything that moves through water, so what is the difference between mass and displacement?

Bump.
Check your NS tg box for a link...

Thank you, I'm looking for armour values, something that page displays as 10D for the hull and 6D for the shields. What exactly does that mean?
How is the unit RU defined and do you have anything that I can use as comparisation for what would be realistic values?
I don't know the definition. I guess you can go look up stats for verious SW ships, then make make reasonable changes either up for down.
Also, if that link that you got happens to be helpful, do you mind posting it up?
To be honest with you, I have no idea though I think it has something to do with rolling dice?
I used it mostly for weapon lay out and other facts they posted. Also dont why I just didnt post the link here...

Personally, I designed all of my stuff more or less from scratch:

Thank you! That gave me some ideas about what would be within the realm of reason to fit on my spacecraft and such.
