[FT] Night's Dawn Trilogy

Hi

Has anyone attempted to create Full Thrust versions of Peter F. Hamilton's
"Night's Dawn" ships?

If not could anyone tell me about how many "g's" one thrust point represents

Thanks in Advance

As much as you like. I've seen.01gee, I've seen 10g per thrust point.
 My
usual assumption is that 1g = 1 thrust but you shouldn't be limited by that.

I've given it some thought. The fastest ships in Night's Dawn (barring
anti-matter) top out at about 9g. A Thrust = 9 ship would be
frighteningly maneuverable under vector, so I considered calling a thrust
point 2G, which puts the Lady Mac and the fastest Navy frigates at thrust 5.

Other than that, combat wasps are the main weapons - call those SMLs
(with lots
of scope for special salvo types - ECCM, defensive only salvos, etc).
Since beam weapons aren't much used (wasps outrange them) I considered
limiting even
the largest ships to Beam-2's and smaller stuff to Beam-1s.

Or change the range of the beam weapons to 6".
This puts a SML at longer range than beam-3s.
