STAR TREK conversion notes

PHOTON Torpedoes: Mass 4, 1 arc +1 mass for additional arcs.  Cost is 4 x Mass
TMP - Ranges and To Hit rolls are the same as Pulse Torpedoes.  Damage is 2d6 (Higher roll)
Example: A Photon Torpedo hits and 2 d6 are rolled for damage giving a 2 and 4.  The roll of 2 is ignored and the higher value of 4 taken resulting in 4 points of damage to the target.

MEGA-PHASER: Previously I had converted Mega-Phasers as Class-3 beam batteries but it never felt right.  After more review I am now converting Mega-Phasers to Class-1 Grasers (High Intensity Grasers) which better represents their potential for high damage while having limited range.

SOYUZ class Frigate Source: Star Trek: The Next Generation "Cause and Effect" 'Official' sources indicate that the big turrets are massive sensors and not weapons, thus the SSD as a Survey Frigate. Many fan sources though have the turrets as Mega Phasers so an Attack Frigate version is also included.
