Design rules (for FT2)
Use the 50% for FTL & 75% for non-FTL ships for new ships (EFSB ships
are all 50%)
Ships up to mass 40 pay mass x drive units (2 thrust) in points.
Ships above 40 mass pay 2 x mass x drive units.
Treat pulse batteries as AA, A, B, C batteries, with mass
equal to the battery class.
Interceptors = Mass 1, 3pts.
Antifighter
Fighters - 2 Mass per squadron + 6 Mass for a launch bay. 20pts for
launch bay, 10pts/squadron. Energy Mine Launcher - Mass 5, 50pts.
EMP weapon - mass 8, (4 arcs x 2 needle beams?), 80pts. - Has a range 12
MU & can fire at ONE ship in range (errata correction)
Jamming system - Mass 3 (AECM), 30pts
Plasmanet - Mass 3 (tractorbeam).
Range 12MU. 50pts
Beam weapons - 2 Mass per Battery & Mass equal to the rating.
15pts/battery + 10*rating for capacitor.
Old One Weapons:
Advanced Grav Drives - Usable as either Kra'vak grav movement or vector
movement. Movement modes can be swapped if both heading & course matches.
Armour (Shadow/Vorlon) - Acts as 2 intercepters vs Pulse weapon fire
& subtracts 2 from every die vs Beam weapon fire
(reducing the effective range to 24 MU). 100 points.
Armour (Whitestar/Shadow scouts) - Acts as 1 intercepter vs Pulse weapon fire
& subtracts 1 from every die vs Beam weapon fire
(reducing the effective range to 30MU). 50 points.
Jump Gate Collapser - Mass 6, 200 points. Has
a range of 40 MU, on a roll of 2+ the open jumpgate
will collapse.
Shadow Beam Weapon - 4 mass/20 points, but 16d of capacitor power can be
used per turn. (recharge 3d6)
Vorlon Beam Weapon - 4 Mass/20 points,
12d limit but does double damage if target is within 6MU. (recharge
3d6)
Taking into account damage rounding for simplicity:
Omega class Destroyer: Mass 96, 904pts.
Hyperion class Battlecruiser: Mass 60 with jump
drive, 576pts.
Nova class Dreadnought: Mass 84, 728pts.
Typical Starliner: Mass 40, 246pts.
Typical Light Freighter: Mass 60, 366pts + cargo.
Shepherd Starfury transport: Mass 20, 106pts.
Porcupine Starfury transport: Mass 20, 96pts.
Condor Troop Transport: Mass 40, 306pts.
Narn Heavy Cruiser: Mass 72, 848pts.
Narn Battledreadnought: Mass
88, 1072pts
Centauri Light Cruiser: Mass 58, 610pts.
Centauri Battle Cruiser: Mass 100/132 hull, 1144/1432pts. - Use the higher
points for play balance. Minbari Warcruiser:
Mass 120, 1540pts.
The only one that doesn't fit the mass properly is the Centauri Battlecruiser. :-(

SHADOW VESSELS
NB: Shadow vessels do not suffer threshold checks as normal vessels,
instead, when damage indicates a threshold check, the vessel is unable to
generate or expand any power for the next turn. (ie: cannot move/fire/charge capacitor). If it is
moving, then it drifts at it's current course &
velocity.
