Building a Space station

By the book we have 6 types of station with diameters of 200m to 1200m Circumferences are diameter X Pi (3.14) <br />The Advanced KH rules state HP are 20 to 200 which doesn't give a clean breakdown for 6 type sizes<br />The Advanced KH rules state max ICM are 4 to 24 which works out to 4 X the size type<br />The Advanced KH rules state 1 battery weapon/ 50 HP which would seem to preclude type 1 stations from being armed though this seems way too small a number of weapons for me on something 1200m in diameter and 3768m in circumference.<br /><br />on the poster map the wideth of the station deck protrayed is 24 squares (I didn't check but I assume 2m/square) or 48m wideth for the deck. since a station is a ring this deck that is portrayed may not be the widest.<br /><br />However, the stations diagram shows 17 full decks to the ring: 1 full deck for engineering, 9 for residence, and 7 for commercial. Since the poster map is for the sample KHs module we can assume that the SF station above Gollywog is what is portrayed.<br /><br />If we assume that this station is a type 6 (logical for a Space Fortress) we have a handle on the number of decks per station size (I would call it 3/ station type so that a fortress would have 17-18 decks in the ring while a type 1 would have 3 decks to its ring. but this is all based on several assumptions. <br />a counter arguement could be that the SF station over Gollywog only has a Class 3 construction center so if it was a big type 6 wouldn't it have a more robust construction center? Not neccessarily- Gollywog's planetary economy is based on resource production and maybe it just doesn't have the industrial base for a bigger construction center.<br /><br />Anyhow I like the 3 decks per stations size as it is some what managable. for gaming purposes.<br />Also going off the poster map form KHs I would also dedicate roughly 1/2 the decks to residence on any station as a rule of thumb.<br />
