October 31, 2002:

• OK, first of all: There are no new SSDs for this Halloween page (I sense a "Huh?" coming from the crowd...).
  Don't worry, I'll go back to putting up SSDs next week.
• Here's the idea for this year's Halloween page:
  I've been making SSDs now for a lot of years, and hundreds (if not thousands) of new systems have appeared on my SSDs with a "little blurb" explaining how the system works. What would be nice would be an "Encyclopedia" of these systems, along with their descriptions and charts. Think of it as a much improved version of my old "Great List of Systems".
• So, late last week I designed a database (called the "Great Encyclopedia of Systems"), and designed a way of quickly outputting it as a string of HTML files (like the RaceGrid). I then started to feverishly go through my SSDs and rules, and entering systems into the database. I knew there was no way I could finish by now, but got as far as I could (it's a TON of work!). I got through perhaps 20% of my stuff so far, and the results are below.
• The current Great Encyclopedia of Systems covers only 0X tech. There will be similar versions for 1X, 2X, and 3X+/TNG. A lot of the entries are very brief, and there's a lot of missing information and systems, but don't worry, I'll be uploading it regularly.
• So, without further delay, Click here to go to letter "A" of the Great Encyclopedia of Systems. In addition to each letter, there's an "ALL" link, which views all systems at once, don't do this unless you're using a cable modem or something.

October 26, 2002:

• [Component Swapping] Orion 2Xs Double Super Raider
• A 2X Double SR, with the wings from the SOUPS cruiser.
• [Component Swapping] Hydran 3X Flagship II
• The old Flagship's forward hull on the Gallant's rear hull, expanded to make a new Flagship.
• [Modified Module J2 SSD] Romulan 0Xs Killerhawk-B Heavy Carrier

October 22, 2002:

• A couple of SSDs from the Silakkan Influence Universe, discussed in Smileylich's Independence Day 2002 Page.
• [Silakkan Influence Universe SSD] Gorn (Klingon) 0Xl Heavy Commando Battlecruiser
  In this universe, the Gorns are subject races of the Klingons / Old Kings. The SSD shows a mix of Old Kings and Gorn technology.
• [Silakkan Influence Universe SSD] Tholian (Andromedan) 0Xs Patrol Cruiser
  The Tholians fled from the Old Kings, to the LMC. There they were forced into an alliance with the Andromedans.
• [Misc. New SSD] Klingon 1X C-10H Heavy Cruiser
  An heavy version of my old C-10 cruiser.

October 21, 2002:

• [X-Version of ADB Design] Orion 1X Space Control Ship (Alternate Version)
• [X-Version of ADB Design] Hydran 1X Tartar -Z
• [Misc. New SSD] Tholian 0Xs SCA - Drone Cruiser
  This is a Tholian experiment, which replaces the external bays of a CVA with Drone-F racks. It also features a "WebFish" module, which can lay 1 hex of web when it reaches its target.

October 17, 2002:

• We're 2 weeks away from Smileylich's 2002 Halloween Page!
• [Old SSD Converted to New Style] Kzinti 0Xl Network New Battlecruiser
• [Variant SSD] Kzinti 0Xl Node New Light Cruiser
• [Old SSD Converted to New Style] Kzinti 1X Network New Battlecruiser

October 16, 2002:

• Here's a few SSDs based on my ancient Micro Machines Skytron 0Xe Eluder Cruiser
• [Expanded Minor Race SSD] Skytron 0Xs Evader Cruiser
• [Expanded Minor Race SSD] Skytron 0Xs Evolver Dreadnought
• [Expanded Minor Race SSD] Skytron 0Xs Evictor Plasma Cruiser

October 15, 2002:

• [Slow Ship SSD] Tholian 0Xs Slow Cruiser
• [Slow Ship SSD] Orion 0Xs Slow Cruiser
• [Modifed Module J2 SSD] Klingon 0Xs DV6U Heavy Interdiction Carrier
  Pretty insane: I started with the D6U, used the boom of the DV7 Carrier, added megaphasers, added PF links, etc.

October 14, 2002:

• Fixed the links for Smileylich's 1999 Halloween Page, and added two SSDs for it:
• [Campaign SSD] Orion 0Xs Demonologist / OK6
• [Campaign SSD] LDR 0Xs Fast Destroyer -ESG
• [Modifed Module J2 SSD] Federation 0Xs Interdiction Carrier -Z
  Of course I had to make munchkin versions of J2 ships! This is the Fed CVD, with Alternate Weapons Z and Megaphasers. I'm not a fan of size 3 ships without heavy weapons. :)
