Wing Commander: Privateer ships converted to Space Master: Privateers

I did a conversion like this in the past, but I thought I'd redo it to get used to the Ship Construction rules found in the SpaceMaster Tech Law: Vehicle Manual.  I have to get used to the ship construction rules since yours truly has a cousin who wants to play Spacemaster.   The rules used are for SpaceMaster: Privateers, but the outboarding and initial tech specs can be used to setup the Vehicle Stats to a system of your own choosing.
(Alternity 4th Edition or d20 Future 4e? Well, maybe).

Using the ships in Privateers

Obviously, these ships are the Player owned ships in the game.  The other ships (Demon, Talon, Drayman, Paradigm, and Kamekh, et al.) need customized stats and will follow.   To use these ships in SM:P, realize that they are built for the Civilian market.  The Centurion was built by humans, the Orion was built by the Valusians, the Galaxy by the Kagoths, and the Tarsus by the Oorts.  The Centurion are preferred by human and Tulgar mercenaries.  The Orion is preferred by humans and Valiesians, while the Galaxy ships are preferred by Xatosians and Kagoth.  Tarsus ships can be piloted by anyone.

Using the Vehicle Manual, players should be able to customize their ships how they want on the space port.  The ships are beautiful and should provide better options for use in game.
