Greetings All, I am new to this board and to the BFG hobby would like some help on how to figure out costs for ship construction. I have kitbashed a new cruiser based on the Grand Cruiser stats in annual 2002. Its ships stats are exactly like the Grand Cruiser (10 hits, 5+ armor, etc..) but I built it mine with 4 launch bays (port & starboard, 2 sqd furies 1sqd starhawks each bay), 2 lance batteries (port and starboard, 45cm str 2) and  and a nova cannon on the prow. HOW much does this cost and is it even allowed? I don't know but I hope one of you veterans can help me with the appropriate info. Thanks and regards,

Hi pokepete, welcome to the boards, always good to see more BFG players!

Joining the Yahoo BFG-list might be a good idea- there were several resources available last time I looked regarding ship construction and the like, and there are loads of real BFG experts who are members too...  :)
Hope that helps!

Gothic does not have official points generation rules for new ships. Points values are best set by finding the closest official ships and using this as a starting point. Then playtest it and adjust it to suit.

However, saying this, there were a set of point values calculations published called the 'Smotherman Formula', in an old Gothic mag. These are no more official than making it up yourself, but did provide a guide. A web search may help you out here.

Good luck.
