Error in Stats for TL-18B Medium Transport

By Cryn, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

The TL-18B Medium Transport (Disciples of Harmony p.61) has an error in it's stats. It is a signature 4 ship, so it only should have forward and aft shields. The listed port / starboard shields are 1 / 1. The rest of the stats is more in line with a signature 4 ship.

Maybe the error is that’s it’s not a silloquette 4 ship? It’s a medium transport isn’t it.

Sounds like a good question to submit to the devs

Yes, I thought of this, but Hit and System Threshold are a bit low for a silhouette 5 ship in comparison to other silhouette 5 ships. It has just one System Threshold more than a YT-1300, as compared to a Action IV Bulk Freighter (Sil 5) with 13 more Hit and 2 more System Threshold than the TL-18B.

So if the TL-18B should be Sil 5, it should receive some boost to Hit / System to be more in line with other Sil 5 ships.

Not necessarily. It really depends upon exactly how large it is. Silhouette 5 covers a rather broad range of sizes with the VCX-100, YZ-775, and YZ-900 at the lower end, around the 50 meter range, to ships like the CR-90 Corvette at over 150+ meters in length. The VCX=100, for example only has a Hull Trauma threshold of 32, which is only ten more than the YT-1300. However, given that the TL-1800 is listed at only 30 meters in length, this does support the Silhouette 4
