New Component "Shuttle Hangars"

By boooh, in Rogue Trader House Rules

Ok, i´ve read the Posts with Barrack´s and Landing Craft and simmilar and got this idea for a new component:


Shuttle Hangar
Power: 1
Space: 2
Sp´s : 1

Appropriate Hull Types: Transports, Frigates, Light Cruiser, Cruiser

These Hangar Bays are especialiy made for holding and maintaining small Craft.
With this Component the Ship is able to hold up to 8 additional Shuttles


Althought only the bigger Imperial Ships nomaly posess such specialised Shuttle hangars
due to their lack of abillity to launch Attackcraft in Battle
many Rouge Traders with Planet side Military Endeavors found them very well suiting for their
expeditions in the Koronus Expanse because of the additional Shuttles they can carry and so
the ability to Land Groundtroops faster even with smaler Ships like Frigates withound the
nessesarity to Aquire Specialized Troop Transportes, or to faster Load and unload Cargo on Primitive Worlds

Quick Landing Reinforcements:
When working towards a Planetside military Endeavor the Players earn an additional 25 Achievmentpoints
Quiker load an unload:
When working towards a Trading Endeaor the Players earn an additional 25 Achievment Points

Not made for Battle:
These Bays are build up with safety transport and Storage in mind and not combat
so it is not Possible to launch attack Craft during a fight
but instead don´t need to be instaled into a Port or Starboard Weapon Capacity Slot


It is mainly a reworking of the Cargo Hold and Lighter Bay Component to a Mitlitary Purpose
Any Comments or ideas `?

I would up the Bonusses to 50 Achievement Points each.

The Cargo Hold and Lighter Bay has +50 to criminal endeavours and +50 to trade endeavours, thus giving +50 to 2 of the general endeavour-fokuses and your components has the same costs in power, space and shippoints.

This component is pointless. All void ships have room enough for 1 shuttle for every 5 hull integrity a ship has. Says it in the book, BFK.

@ blubbbb

I was thinking about that to, but wouldn´t make it to powerful

@ WhiteLycan

yes I know that, but that means, that all frigates for example only have room for 8 Shuttles

and this is the main reason if build it http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_foros_discusion.asp?efid=161&efcid=3&efidt=460478

(I´ve made it whith frigates and light cruiser in mind especialy for the ones with Barack´s on board to quicker unload soldiers )

this component is for additional Shuttle storage

What, you mean just like the Lighter Bay? You've basically just made a version that removes the negatives of having it.

Pretty much how I understand it.

SPACE, not H.I. (p.11, black box)

Also without the cargo space.
