Ship Costs

Refer to: Streel Corporate Ships.

When I purchased Knight Hawks back in the early 90's I didn't use it immediately in my games.  The biggest problem I had wasn't the fact that I had to max out my skills before piloting and such... by then my player's characters were already that skilled.  My problem was simpler...

Despite having so many ships pre-defined (in the basic game, that is - which lacked all the detail required for a RPG), nowhere was there a simple shopping list of standard vessels.

I, too, thought corporations like Streel would have standardized corporate, mining, and defense ships.  Standardized... cookie cutter... with standard costs.  But I couldn't just pick up a page and go through a list of standard ships and say "My character wants THAT." and subtract the credits.

Can we figure the costs of these ships and post them somewhere?  It would be nice if we had a table that listed costs, crew capacity, adf/mr/dcr/etc, with a link to the document page where the ship is fully fleshed-out. 

It would also help newbies go through the KH process of deriving a price using those game rules.

Do you want me to start on CCK type for ships (like you did for OCS)?
Also, didn't someone compile some specs/pricing for ships? Maybe we should have them posted somewhere then we can flesh out a "offical" document to work from.

If someone compiled a list I haven't seen it... I'd love to have that

I have prices on my original paperwork. I'll dig them out and post it with the files.

I added the prices to the Streel warships. The rest of the craft are either private or custom designed so I didn't include prices for them. I'll be sure to include pricing for any future standard designs I add.

And if someone discovers any bad math in my stuff...don't be shy about telling me LOL

How did you come up with the cost of the ships?

Went by the assembly costs via the KH campaign book (p.61, plus computer programs listed throughout the book and from the AD programs as well). Also went by my Hull Armor prices for the stronger craft, and added 15K for the AEM units. I was rushing it, may have missed something...but it should be pretty close.
