Continuing on...
[New SSD] Gorn 0Xs Mega-Battleship
I gave this too many phasers, but oh well, let the Gorns have something for once.
I'm skipping Tholian, because of this old SSD: Tholian 0Xs New Admiralty Assault Ship
I forgot that I had previously referred to the "AA" class as "Admiralty Assault Ships". I guess I should've called all these designs that name instead of "Mega-Battleships".
[New SSD] Orion 0Xs Mega-Battleship
I thought shoving two DN's together would be how the Orions would do this, rather than a new design.
This is a modification of an older SSD: Orion 0Xs Ad-Hoc Battleship (Double DN)
[New SSD] Hydran 0Xs Mega-Battleship
A larger Monarch BB. I wrestled with 4, 5, or 6 HB's in the FH arc, I ended with 6 because I feel the original Monarch is a little undergunned compared to other BB's. :)
For comparison purposes, here's the corresponding old "Heavy Battleships" of many years ago (these are old SSDs): Gor BBH, Hyd BBH.
August 9, 2008:
Haven't forgotten about the site, just been busy...
Long ago I made a 5 engine "AA style" super battleship for the Klingons (this is an old SSD): Klingon 0Xs A-11 Super Battleship.
So, I thought about what the other races' "5-engine mega-battleships" would look like. Here's a few of them. I'll put up the rest over the next couple updates.
[New SSD] Federation 0Xs Mega-Battleship
The Feds would probably keep the same saucer, just make the rear hull even longer. The three engines in the rear are all on the rear hull.
[New SSD] Romulan 0Xs Mega-Battleship
A slightly larger King Condor. I considered instead adding 2 PL-S (one to each engine) instead of the 1 PL-R.
[New SSD] Kzinti 0Xs Mega-Battleship
The Kzinti, like the Feds, would probably keep the same forward section, just make the rear hull longer.
For comparison purposes, I did do a series of "Heavy Battleships" many years ago (these are old SSDs): Fed BBH, Rom BBH (this one is quite a bit different from the new Rom above), Kzi BBH.
July 7, 2008:
Wow, it's been a long time. Married life has been a lot of fun and a blessing. I'm going to update these webpages again for a while with new material. I also think a site redesign is in order, these pages are very old. :)
Bear with me, I'm just getting restarted here...
[New SSD] Federation 1X Threat File Battleship
[New SSD] Klingon 1X K-8X Battlecruiser
[New SSD] Star Control UPF 1X Battleship+
July 4, 2006:
Couldn't let a 4th of July go by without updating!
The "Bullet Destroyers" below are over-engined small ships with variant weapons. The variant weapons are modifications of the standard heavy weapons of the race, to make them cheaper or more versatile.
[New SSD] Federation 0Xs Bullet Destroyer
A Fed DD with two 15 box engines (one is above the saucer, the other is below). "Photon Rack" system lets you fire photons cheap but you have limited ammo.
[New SSD] Klingon 0Xs F-5CB Bullet Destroyer
"Disruptor Beams" are cheap disruptors with a capacitor, but can't overload.
[New SSD] Romulan 0Xs Bullet Destroyer
Has a cheap to arm version of PL-G, which uses charges (kind of like an overgrown PL-D).
[New SSD] Gorn 0Xs Bullet Destroyer
Has 4 engines, two in the usual configuration, one above the rear hull, and one below. "Plasma Beams" are direct-fire phasers based on PL-G and PL-F, and can still envelope or shotgun.
[New SSD] Andromedan 0Xs Black Mamba Bullet Destroyer
"TRLG" is a gatling version of the TRL. "APH-2" is an area-effect phaser, hitting everything in it's firing arc.
[New SSD] ISC 0Xs Bullet Destroyer
A wide ISC with 4 engines. "PPD1" is a cheap one-pulse PPD, used on smaller ships.
Unrelated SSDs, from my Ancient Empires campaign:
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Hurck 0Xs Destroyer
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Hurck 0Xs Dreadnought
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Lizzard Kings 0Xs Wide Dreadnought
June 4, 2006:
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Lizzard Kings 0Xs Heavy Cruiser
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Hurck 0Xs Heavy Cruiser
The Lizzard Kings SSD is (of course) nothing like what ADB will put out, assuming it ever makes an Ancient Empires supplement. I also have some Spirit Kings stuff coming.
Added (U2) Technology Levels (race vs. time) to the SFB Anthology.
I also added more refits to (U1) Refits, and added a "Time to travel a 100 L.Y. hex" column to (C7) Non-Combat Warp Movement.
On the D&D side:
Added [PC5] Psionicist Group Classes and [PC6] Custom Group Classes and [S3] Priest Spells and [Q3] 3rd Edition Psionics (Psi. Freq. 3) and [M1] Listing of Monsters to the D&D Collective.
The Psionic classes need editing (and the relevant [Q] sections added!), and there are a half-dozen more Custom classes to add, and lots of the Priest spells don't have short descriptions, but it's a starting point.
Also added the ability to see entire main sections at once (e.g. the [P] section, the [C] section, etc.). You'll see what I mean if you go the Collective's index.
On the MTG side:
Added 7 of my deck designs (Copy Deck, Doubling Season Deck, Hell's Fisherman Deck, Kobold Deck, Rebel Deck, Vedalken Equipment Deck, Whenever Deck) to Don's Decks
Added Tribal Flag, Halfling Rogue, Halfling Townsfolk, and Smeagol//Gollum to Don's Fantasy Cards
May 23, 2006:
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Rulavian 0Xs Heavy Cruiser
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Rulavian 0Xs Dreadnought
Added (U1) Refits to the SFB Anthology.
On the D&D side:
Added the first 40 classes to [PC4] Rogue Group Classes (& Rogue abilities) to the D&D Collective.
Also added [S2] Wizard Spells and [Q2] Proficiency (2nd edition) Psionics (Psi. Freq. 2) and [E1] General Equipment .
The Wizard spells need a lot of editing (there are duplicates and lots of higher level spells have no description), but it's a starting point.
On the MTG side:
Added the Druid (Untap Lands) Deck to Don's Decks
Added Blue Lotus, O RLY, and 10 Unglued-style dual lands to Don's Fantasy Cards
Added Unlimited Block (Unlimited, Arabian Nights, Antiquities) to Multiplayer Grades by card
This is basically a letter grade (A to F) as to how useful (in my opinion) each card is in multiplayer deck construction. I use these sort of lists to help build decks with good "utility" cards.
I also have the "better" cards (A to C) sorted by type of card in Multiplayer Grades by grade/notes
May 10, 2006:
[New SSD] Generic 0Xl Destroyer
Used for system defense and all-around rescue operations.
Added (A3) General Information (Timeline, Game Scale) and (C7) Non-Combat Warp Movement to the SFB Anthology.
These are very old rules, and need editing, but it's a start to get the SFB rules going here.
I also added (WARNING: huge file!) a huge file that allows you to download the entire Anthology at once. Like the Full D&D Collective (see below), I don't know how useful this actually is, as less than 10% of what I intend to upload is here, and this file will grow to an unmanageable size. Perhaps I will offer the Anthology in sections; this might be easier to use.
Added A new set of ZIP files of all of my SSDs.
I have tons of SFB SSDs from authors who no longer have websites. Instead of trying to find each author individually via email or whatever, I'm considering putting all of them up, making this site kind of like John H. Kim's (wonderful site, no longer updated). On the other hand, I don't want to steal anyone's hits, so perhaps I should just upload SSDs from authors who no longer have sites. Any author who has a problem with this, and doesn't want his SSDs online, can email me and I will immediately take their SSDs down. Any opinions on this is welcome. I already have permission to put David Brown's SSDs here, that will be soon.
On the D&D side:
Added the first 36 classes to [PC3] Priest Group Classes (& Specialty Priest abilities) to the D&D Collective.
Also added [S23] Recommended Priest Spells and [Q1] Natural (1st edition) Psionics (Psi. Freq. 1) and [A1] Alignment .
Finally, added (WARNING: huge file!) a huge file that allows you to download the entire Collective at once. I don't know how useful this actually is, as less than 10% of what I intend to upload is here, and this file will grow to an unmanageable size. Perhaps I will offer the Collective in sections; this might be easier to use.
On the MTG side:
Redesigning the MTG website.
Added the Verdant Succession Deck to Don's Decks and Brine Deep to Don's Fantasy Cards .
May 2, 2006:
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Old Kings 0Xs Heavy Cruiser
[New SSD] Ancient Empires Old Kings 0Xs Dreadnought
Added (G31) Option Mounts - Common things to put into them to the SFB Anthology.
Finally! Added Jackie Stephens's SSDs!
This is over 3000 SSDs, some Galactic stuff (Fed, Klingon, etc.), and a whole bunch of new races.
I have a couple more people who are interested in having their SSDs added to my site (at this location); if you're interested too, send me an email.
On the D&D side:
Added the first 70 classes to [PC2] Wizard Group Classes to the D&D Collective.
Also added [S22] Recommended Wizard Spells and [Q72] Mutants and Masterminds Psionics (frequency 72).
April 26, 2006:
Added (G1) Great List of Systems to the SFB Anthology.
This is the thing I use to calculate BPVs: I add up the PV's of all the systems on the SSD, then divide the result by 2.5. Got a lot of things to add to this list, plus descriptions for new systems (later in the (G) section).
Worked on (R2) List of every Don Miller SSD. Woohoo, I'm up to 500 SSDs, about 1/4 of the way done. :)
[New SSD] Ancient Empires T'kan 0Xs Dreadnought
[Variant] Ancient Empires T'kan 0Xs Improved Dreadnought
On the D&D side (note I will stop mirroring D&D updates here at some point):
Changed the look of the D&D page to match the SFB page. Need to add more buttons. :)
Added [P4] Classes (General Rules) and [C1] THAC0 (Attack bonus) to the D&D Collective.
Added 61 classes to [PC1] Warrior Group Classes, bringing the total to 63, which is about 1/2 the classes for the Warrior group. And I still have the Wizard, Priest, Rogue, Psionicist, Custom, Concordant, and Monster groups to go!. :O
April 24, 2006:
I was married earlier than our original date (May 6), which is why I've been busy and not updating. My wife doesn't play SFB/D&D/Magic, but I still get some gaming in on weekends. I've been once again accumulating lots of gaming material (D&D and SFB) that needs to be cleaned up and uploaded. My current SFB campaign is during the "Ancient Empires" period (T'kan, Old Kings, Rulavians, Spirit Kings, etc.)
I've been playing around with an "Anthology" of my SFB rules and such. There's not much there yet, but the database to create these pages is easy to manipulate here on my end, so I can add more easily. Eventually I'd like to have most of my material there. Suggestions on format would be helpful, I've looked at it in IE and Firefox, and it seems generally OK. Getting the HTML CSS to properly page break and repeat table headers was a bit tricky in IE. Some of the tables still get chopped off on the right side if printed, trying to figure that one out (I am setting the table sizes to 100%, shouldn't that do it? Or I do need to use pixel sizes?). One thing I do want is a "Grand Page" which will have everything in the Anthology on it, so you can print the 400 page monster easily without clicking around a lot.
The list of my SSDs (again) needs to be worked on heavily. The Anthology (above) will eventually have a better list than the one the left ("The SSDs!" button). When it's finished, I'll change the "The SSDs!" button to go there.
I have some new SSDs, especially some "Ancient Empires" ones (and a map of the Alpha Quadrant during the Ancient Empires period). I will try to upload these ASAP. My versions of the Old Kings, Spirit Kings, and Lizard Kings will undoubtably be very different from what ADB has in mind.
Similarly, on the D&D side, been working on a new version of the "Collective" of D&D rules and such. Again, not much there yet.
I'll soon include all of Jackie Stephen's SSDs here, assuming I have room. Waiting for a CD from him to finalize things.
Previous updates (2005):
These are here.

My old webpage is here, which still has a bunch of stuff not linked here.
This is why I'm doing the SFB Anthology. :)
