... so far the fasted one (real space) is the viper sloop of BK with a base speed of 11, but there isn't enough space to add any speed enhancing components ... what was the fasted imperial ship you designed so far ?

The Wrathful Ravenant , a Cobra class Frigate speed of 12, Manoeuvrability of 61. She only had a single Dorsal mounted sunsear battery but heh she is fast.

Could we see the specs for the ship,please? I usualy get with cruiser and grand cruisers builds at speed 8 and Manoeuvrability 40 without trying hard to optimize for speed.

I don't have a finished design, but I'm thinking Orion Clipper (ItS) hull (Speed 10), with a Modified (+1) Mezoa Theta-7 (BK, errata ) drive (+2), Gravity Sails (+1) and an Energistic Conversion Matrix (ItS) (up to +5). Doable with the Exile ship path choice and Planet-Bound of Millennia background. Speed 19, + Adjust Speed and Flank Speed.

Note that a Modified Theta-7 is iffy fluff-wise, and since it's a transport you'll need a lot of power for the maximum +5 from the Energistic Conversion Matrix.

At what page the exile ship path is? Is Wrested from a space hulk better than ship exile path?

thor2006 said:

The Warrant and Ship Origin Path is in Into the Storm, page 33. The point of Exile is that it allows you to buy a Xenostech component, such as Gravity Sails.

Do you mean infamous?

I mean Halo Artefacts, the one underneath Exile. Oops.

For the life of me I can not remember where Wrested From A Space Hulk is, can someone give me a page#?

Core book page 197 at complications.

thor2006 said:

Sure. You start with a base Corba

Speed: 10 +1+1=12

Manieuvrability: +30 +10+3 +15+5=63

Detection: +10

Armor: 15

Hull: 30 -4= 26

Turrent Ratting: 1

Spaces: 35

Weapons: 1 Dorsal, 1 Prow

Now to add history and complication

Ancient and wise:-4 Hull,+10 manoeuvre

Xebophilous: 1 xeno part

Next comes Essential Components (power/space/SP)

Lathe-pattern 2a drive (47/14/2) +3 manoeuvability +1 speed

Strelov 1 wrap {10/10/-)

Gellar Field (1/0/-)

Single void Shield (5/1/0)

M-1.r life sustainer (3/1/-)

Pressed crew Quarters (1/2/-)

M-100 auger Array (3/0/-)

Power:23 Space: 28

Augmented retro thrusters (3/0/-) x3

Gravity sails.(3/0/3)

Power 35 space 28

Now you can do some more things, change of of the bare boons stuff out or add more sails or thurster or a Bridge of Antiquity for another +5 mov. Myself I would throw a sunhammer lance on her prow and upgreade the life support and the crew quarters or the auger.

That looks good, except you've bought a background package from into the storm AND got complications from the core rule book. The section on background packages is quite clear that you choose one or the other, not both.
