 Dear
 Tom,
 Was HGS using LBB2 1ed
 or 2ed rules?

 Many moons ago, I wrote up a
 database using Andrew's HGS program. I took all the LBB2
 and HG data in the LBBs, and ran it through the HGS.  Where
 necessary, I modified the ship specifications in order to
 make it "fit".  Assuming HGS was
 "correct" most of the ship specifications were
 errant in some form or another.  Some ships were completely
 broken, and unable to be reconciled without major changes
 (ie. jump-number, or hull size) in the specifications.  I
 remember having fun trying to make the ANNIC NOVA with its
 multiple jump drives and lack of a standard power plant
 compliant - I can't recall whether I gave up on that one
 in disgust or not!
 Anyway, I still have the resultant
 database (.xls) floating around on a hard disk somewhere and
 fiddle around with it for a few weeks every couple of years.
  (A database of pretty much every published Cars Wars
 design, having been run through a rules spreadsheet for
 errors, is lurking there too.)  I can try to dig it up, if
 anyone is interested.
 --Cheers!

 Ken
