Calculating GWP Using the T5 Resource Value, Not RUs
Resources : Resources are exploitable natural resources, minerals, ores, metals, energy sources, biological assets, and any other items of limited availability. - T5, Book3, p.27 Resources = 2d6 + (if TL>8) + GG + PB = (2 – 12) + (0 – 4) + (0 – 3) = Range 2 – 19, AVG ~ 9- 10 Glimmerdrift Reaches GWP compare Nobody seems to have taken the components of the T5 Economic Extension, specifically the Resource value, and discussed it outside of Resource Units. How many “Raw” Resources does a planet need to be self-sufficient, to be poor, to be rich? I’m not using the T5 RU formula in MTU, I think it needs to be tweaked. But I decided to look at the components, starting with Resources. My goal is to use the data from T5 to tweak my Striker based GWP model, because I still can’t spend RU’s at a shipyard. Consider two worlds, Alpha with a population of 3 million and Beta a population of 2 billion, both with a Raw Resource score of 12. That’s 40...
