Skills
Determine the appropriate conversion for each
2300AD skill by consulting the table below. If more than one skill is
indicated, the player may elect to break up his skill points among the listed
skills, or put them all into a single skill. To determine the skill level
in the House Rules System, subtract one from the 2300AD skill level.

Stutterwarp
Change references in FF&S stutterwarp design sequence from
parsecs/day to light years/day. To determine parsecs/day, divide light years/day
by 3.26.

Tech Levels
In the Star Cruiser Technical Manual, the formula for stutterwarp
speed is:
S = Variable × (MW ÷ M)0.33
Where Variable is 14.5 for Old Commercial, 16.05 for Old
Military or New Commercial, and 17.5 for New Military.
In FF&S, the formula for stutterwarp speed is:
S = Tlm × (MW ÷ 10D)0.33
Where the Tlm is equal to tech level + 4.
As can be seen, both formulas are identical, and the Variable
in Star Cruiser is equal to the Tlm in FF&S. Because of this, we can
determine the range of tech levels covered by 2300AD:
