Building Hulls: from Raiders to Battleships.

By Trader Austin, in Rogue Trader Gamemasters

didn't know if this belonged here or house rules.

this is not a list of new hulls. rather it is the general range each hull type's stats falls into and a guess as to what battleship stats would/will be. any help or suggestions on refining this would be welcome.

raiders: speed: 9-1, manoeuvrability: 20-30, detection: 10-30, hull integrity: 30-35, armour: 14-16, turret: 1, space: 30-40, sp: 30-35, weapon slots:1-2

frigates: speed: 7-8, manoeuvrability: 18-20, detection: 10-25, hull integrity: 30-40, armour: 17-19, turret: 1, space: 40-55, sp: 38-42, wep slots: 2-3

light cruiser: speed: 5-7, man: 12-15, det: 10-25, HI: 60, Arm: 19-20, turret: 2, space: 55-75, sp: 55-58, wep slots: 3-4

Cruiser: speed: 5, man: 5-12, det: 10-20, HI: 70, arm: 19-20, turret: 2, space: 75-85, sp: 57-63, wep slots: 5

battlecruiser: speed 5, man: 5-12, det: 10-15, HI: 70 Arm: 19-20, turret: 3, space: 75-90, sp 63-71, wep slots: 6

grandcruiser: speed 4-5, man: 4-8, det: 10-15, HI: 85-90, Arm: 19-21, turret: 3, space: 90-105, sp: 69-71, wep slots: 6

battleships: speed: 3-5, man: 3-5, det: 10-15, HI: 100-120, arm: 20-22, turret: 4, space: 105-120, sp: 70-80, wep slots: 8

these arn't an exact science. any other input would be welcome.

If you want to save yourself alot of time figuring it all out then go to the Dark Reign website and look up the following files that will give you everything on the ships from the smallest to largest.

Ships of the Imperial navy 1.2.0

Ships of the Chaos Legions 1.0.0

Ships of the Adeptus Astartes 1.0.5

These three files will give you a treasure trove of info on all the well known ships of the fleets as well as new weapons, equipment, and rules for their usage. Hope ths helps.

i have those. they are actually what i was trying to fix. we know now about how big battlecruisers and grandcruisers are. they list grandcruisers in the 110-135 space range with a power draw of about 120. we know now they are only about space 90-105 with a power draw of around 95. i could do a lot with 20-30 extra space and 25 extra power. i think battleships would be off by about the same margin.

thanks for the suggestion though. didn't mean to knock the idea.

I actually reverse enginneered the ones they have in those files just to get an idea of how big the components were for some of the larger ships...took me awhile but im in process of compiling a full table for ALL ship sizes and component requirements ( size/power draw ) based on the class of ship they are to be put into. A master table of all the required components ( and a few of the optional ones as well )..not sure how long its gonna take me though...work is being brutal with my schedule throwing me from overnights to all day with only 6hrs in between....and alot of hours to boot..lol
