Ship upkeep

By Orcsmasher, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

How much does it cost to keep a ship flying? i don't mean repairs from battles, I mean fuel, maintenance, provisions, etc.

In one game we have a YT-1300, in another we have a Firespray, and another we have a Wayfarer. With the wayfarer we want to get a foghter or tow so what about them.

Also what about concussion and proton (or whatever they are called) missles? How much do they cost?

Something to add to the book they need to come out with: Jane's guide to Star Wars ships.

Missile costs are in the books, 500 to 750 per, IIRC. For the rest, nobody knows, but it's not really a bean-counting game. Just ballpark, maybe every ship has enough fuel to make it to Coruscant and back a couple times, then ding the players for a few hundred credits in fuel.

Man, FFG just needs to buy the rights to release Galaxy Guide 6! All those questions? Answered there!

Packaged meals are listed: Cr5.

Life support costs aren't, but should probably run about Cr1 to Cr5 per person per day for filters, oxygen, and water.

Cost in parts to maintain? Not covered... but should be based upon size. Maybe Cr5 * Sil^2 every 25 operational days?

Thanks for mentioning that. Found a copy to review

Yeah, Tramp Freighters is an incredibly useful sourcebook. It is by far the most thoroughly read WEG book I own.
