I've read over what I've seen on the ST to SJ conversion so far, and
I'm not overly impressed.

I'm not sure the write-up devised would work very well with a
"purist" Spelljammer setting.  It seems more like you are taking just
the ship and it's crew and shoving it into the SJ universe.

For instance, the Computer.  Computers, while necessary aboard a
science based starship, would not meld very well with a magic based
spelljammer.

One item I think should be made praiseworthy, the notes on
encountering the "Galactic Barrier", using psionics based rules to
determine what happens to whom.  That goes along the lines of a more
AD&D based system.

...And no, I'm not going on like this because I did the other ST=>SJ
writup.  ;)
