Yeah, I think I'm starting to decide against Nova, Gladius, Jackal, Idolator. The SM and Chaos vessels are supposed to be similar to the IN escorts, in my opinion. I wouldn't really be in favor of moving out of that category.

The other thing is that, generally (especially for IN, so by extension SM) Things wiht more hits tend to be slower, and more ponderous, where the nova/gladius are supposed to be fast.

Completely agree, that's why the Nova/Gladius at 2 hits doesn't sit right with me.

Nova and Idolator have historicaly been considered overpriced hense my reasoning there :). There is no Medium transport, just thought it would be a good idea. The Q ship and Escort Carriers are in Armada.

Only
Defender
Kraken
Ork big thing
Hellebore
and that other one

in my opinion. Rest stays 1hit.

Nova got a price drop. Idolator as well? So they are fine.

So Defender, Kraken, Grunt, Hellebore. I still stick by any carriers should be at two and i also agree with Talos on the moniter. The Rampart is from Plaxors rogue trader and Demiurge spl? list in BFG-R. If no one else has any they want added to the maybe list we should put them all up on a yes/ no vote.

Andrew, where do you find the medium transport and the q-ship stats? Also the escort carriers?

There is no Medium transport, it just seemed like a reasonable idea that there might be a 2 hit transport. The other two are in Armada in te appendix.

It seems weird to me that a Sword would have half the hits of a Q-Ship or an Escort Carrier. I do agree on defense monitors though.

It also seems off that if the sword and the escort carrier are the same size that the carrier has twice the LB capacity of any escort, including the two hit hellebore. And it is pretty expensive and limited, so I suggest we bump it up to two if this goes through. I withdraw any support from the q-ship; you are all right about it, it has better armor and turrets and guns, which is good enough.

I'm fine with that. I'm pretty indifferent to the transports situation.

Q ships get 2 shields too so theres even less reason for that one ;).
