why the third variant of the light cruiser from voss is missing?

how it can be build?

why the chaos ship, eldar, ork, kroot, rackgol and son on don't have a space statistique, i mean if a Soulgage slaveship is capture it can be retrofit. you can have a crew easely and it s not so complicated to find a navigator for it.

most of the chaos ship handle by pirates ant not true chaos worshipper can be purge and recoverted.

i am sur that alliens ship can be palyable if a campaign is playd with alliens and not humans so why they are lacking space statistique?

the Endurance-class is only a variant of the Endevour class to Rogue Trader. The stats would be the same, just the loadout different.

Most Xeno ships arent refittable to imperial use. Ork stuff just wont work, Rak'gol stuff is radioactive, eldar stuff is unfathomable and chaos stuff will cause corruption.

Chaos is probably the most dangerous to try to cleanse, as the ship's corruption could cause corruption and insanity in the crew. Taking something like a plague cruiser and trying to cleanse it isnt a paying proposition.

1.There are only five light cruiser hulls. The endeavour(from voss page 26 Battlefleet Koronus) and the defiant class(from page 26 Battlefleet Koronus),lathe class monitor cruiser(Into the Storm),secutor class monitor cruiser(Into the Storm),dauntless class light cruiser(Core Rulebook).There is also the Fachion class Frigate. I believe the other 2 voss manufactured light cruiser classes will be detailed in a new suppliment.

2. Because there is a possibility to be detailed in other suppliments or other product lines like Black Crusade or suppliments with alien ships.

be it in Edge Of The Abyss, Lure Of The Expanse, the frozen Reache, Into The storm and the Core Rulesbook all ship have their space listed. So why not in the most important bool of the game about ships??? i mean if you want to play a ork campaign you need the space no? as for the soulcage again it can be converted and most ship of chaos are in reserve fleet of the imperium. so they can be sold to RT

do you think that the exchequer class that was never produce in mass can be created after studying the model of Joaquin Saul?

Quite a few of the prominent Chaos vessels can be captured and stripped or reused. Anything Nurgl'd is an unlikely object for capture - better off destroying it. In fluff weapons have been recovered from Chaos vessels and used on ships in Battlefleet Gothic. Some fo the fluff directly links ancient vessel's design and or deficiencies with how and why they turned so easily to Chaos, they were just more vulnerable. More modern vessels leave out these innovatinve design features et cetera to reduce the chances of corruption. So taking some fo the vessels intact and reusing them poses a significant risk to the rogue trader.

On why they don't have space info? Who knows perhaps to save time on the supplement. You can type up a PAGE of components mentioned and NOT detailed from half a dozen supplements, especially CHAOS vessels. I 'hope' they are detailed in a Chaos supplement for the new Black Crusade game.

I can't speak for any of the other factions, but with the Ork ships, leaving out power and space was a deliberate choice - if a Mekboy wants to add a new component to a starship, it uses whatever space he can find and it looks for a way to tweak the engines to produce enough power. If it wants to improve the guns, he cuts holes in the hull to make room for extra barrels.

It seemed entirely appropriate that Orks wouldn't care one way or another about the matter of space or power for their ships.

The third Voss light cruiser, the Endurance was probably excluded for a very simple reason. Looking at its stats from Battlefleet Gothic, the only difference between an Endurance and an Endeavour is that the Endeavour has port and starboard weapons batteries whereas the Endurance has port and starboard lance batteries. In Rogue Trader terms, if you wanted an Endurance, just take an Endeavour and put lance batteries down the sides instead of macro cannons. They might have made this a bit clearer in the ship rules, but oh well, no big loss.
