href=\"https:\/\/www.ststcsolda.space\/federation\/super_laweya\/super_laweya.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Super Laweya<\/em><\/a> class, we immediately realized we never did the <em>Laweya<\/em> class from the <em>1st Edition Ship Recognition Manual<\/em>. And of course we immediately ran into problems while converting. Luckily, most 1st Edition ships are easily converted to 2nd Edition stats with few major issued. Surprisingly, the <em>Laweya<\/em> major issue is it&#8217;s cargo capacity. It lists the cargo at 25,500. This appears to be the number of cargo units which is insane! 25,500 SCU would be 1,275,000 mt of cargo&#8230;which would put the ship at nearly TWICE the maximum weight capacity of the 2nd Edition design tables. The simplest answer is to knock off a zero which is what we did. Since most unarmed freighter are simple fodder &#8211; something to be protected in most scenarios &#8211; we also wanted to make a few versions that would give a pirate crew pause before trying to beam off some cargo. We had to change the shield listing and the impulse engine as well, but all in all &#8211; I think it&#8217;s a good design. And of course we used Brad&#8217;s Super Laweya as our spring bord to tie in a slightly expanded back story.
