@Sigoroth Hilariously, FFG follows the canon better than GW's own codex's. Read Drago's codex entry if you want a good laugh, because technically it's cannon.

Grand cruiser model has 4 hardpoints a side IIRC, yes? FFG has it at 3 component equivalents, which is closer to what the faq 2010 era stats put them at. Which one are we going with.

Ive said this before but when talking about two different game systems we really shouldnt compare them. This is Battlefleet Gothic if you want to play FFG's game fine go play it ;).

I don't make the rules, I just think them up and write them down.

Actually there's a lot of cross bleed.  And not just in staff (Horizon, myself, Andy, Sam Stewart, etc...) but stats, mechanics, etc.

You worked (aka had NDA) on Koronus as well? I wasn't staff, I did have a NDA with them and mail contact with Sam Stewart.
Sam also corporated with Nate on the Stryxis rules in the Compendium 2010 Rogue Trader rules.

And yes, Rogue Trader is heavily inspired by Battlefleet Gothic. Heck, GW wanted to do a space combat game BEFORE 40k....

Not on Koronus (sadly).  As the head of their largest fan organization (since all the other heads became FFG's beta testers), I get all sorts of interesting and odd requests, but no damn in book credit.  (Even when they steal from me like the guy did in Only War)

I am glad you didn't work on Koronus then? Sam would ditched both of us if kept babbling like this during writing the book.  ;)

Sam probably would have been used to it.  I've sat down and listened in at writers meetings (not for FFG).  Most of the better sci-fi/fantasy authors I know tend babble like this as soon as you hit the 'personal hobbyhorse' button.
