Rogue Trader Random Ship Generator

FILE IS AT MakeWarNotLove (bottom of the page for the download link)

March 3 2011 - RTRSGv1-32 published

• Weapons generate automatically and are output on the character sheet by weapon points available for ship hull.
• Working on logic to generate actual stat lines for Ship space, power and $sp.
• No logic to constrain overuse of space and power yet.
• Supports all CORE RT hulls and ItS hulls.
• Supports all CORE RT, LotE and ItS weapons.
• No supplemental component generation yet.

My intent is to create a utility that generates a starship which is ready for use.

As it is the utility isn't there yet. Neither is the formatting or character sheet.

Any comments? As GM what would you want this thing to do?

Sounds like a superb idea

Personally i'd want it to generate a random ship based on a hull i pick along with maybe one or two components i choose in advance (eg. if i really want it to have shard cannons or a munitorium for my players to drool over or target).

Has this been updated? I remember a big thread about this, but can't find it anymore. Anyone else remember what I'm talking about?

The big thread is/was for the Rogue Trader Ship Utility, which let you actually build up the ship manually, while the RTRSG builds it automatically. It's available on the same site, and is up to something like v1-41, iirc,

Do you know the link of the ship utility thread? I don't have it bookmarked. thx.

The thread? It's not hard to find (a search for "rtsu" should pull it up easily), but yeah, it's here . It's been a while since there's been any noticeable updates, but hey, bobh is doing this in his free time out of the goodness of his heart, it'd be churlish to demand constant progress and progress reports.

Thanks. I had been searching but didn't know what special word to put in and wasn't finding it.
