General Formula[]
The general formula for calculating the price of a ship is to take its points value in battlefleet gothic, and multiply this by a factor dependent on it's class. The factors are as follows:
- Escorts, Light Cruisers and Cruisers: x3 Multiplier
- Battlecruisers and Heavy Cruisers: x4 Multiplier
- Grand Cruisers and Battleships: Priceless. Valued only in favour.
Repair times[]
Though ships are often damaged and left unable to fight, it is far easier to repair a shattered hull than construct an entirely new ship. The cost of having a vessel repaired is provided by the Imperium but of course it will take a short time.
The Ld value of a once-hulked vessel that has been repaired depends on how successful the evacuation of the doomed vessel was. If it was merely reduced to a drifting hulk and was near friendly ships or systems to evacuate to, a very good fraction of the crew will have survived to serve the ship once more so it's Ld value will be preserved. Conversely, if the ship suffered an extended period of time as a Blazing Hulk and there was nowhere nearby to evacuate to, it is unlikely that anywhere near enough crew survived to preserve the ship's Ld value and a new one will have to be rolled.
Occasionally however, a ship may have suffered such catastrophic damage that no repair is possible (plasma drive explosion/warp drive implosion). If a Capital Ship is destroyed in such a way a free replacement will be constructed, though will take the build times listed above. Destroyed Escorts will not be replaced free of charge.
Leadership[]
Used for determining success of Special Orders and other Ld checks. Must roll equal to or under leadership on a d100. Each ship is given a random Leadership assignment when it is encountered. Vessels we purchase are assigned a starting Leadership and may improve that leadership based on experience and Commander, up to a maximum of 90.

ADEPTUS ASTARTES[]
The vessels used by the Adeptus Astartes are quite simply some of the best designs available to humanity. Their hull designs prioritise both heavy armour and speed, a paradoxical quality that is achieved with multiple layers of reinforced adamantium and incredibly advanced engines. The Capital Ships used by the Adeptus Astartes generally possess Thunderhawk Launch Bays, Drop Pod Launchers, and Bombardment Cannons, which are used to great effect in the Astartes primary naval duty of orbital assault upon planets. Due to the explicit desire to keep void power in the hands of the Imperial Navy, very few Astartes vessels mount Lance Weapons (as these are only truly useful when combating other ships), and any that do tend to draw no small amount of ire.
Adeptus Astartes escort vessels mount similar grades of firepower as their Imperial Navy equivalents, however they also have slightly heavier armour and tremendously superior speed.

IMPERIUM / INDEPENDENTS[]
The capital ships of the modern Imperial Navy have a distinctive design of hull with bulky engines at the rear, a tall, narrow midsection housing large broadside gun decks, and a sharp prow optimised for mounting heavier frontal armour, Torpedo Tubes and Nova Cannons. They are also used by the forces of chaos, though in vastly smaller numbers compared to the archaic hull designs preferred by the forces of chaos.
Of particular note are the Grand Cruisers, these enormous craft see slightly more widespread use amongst the Imperial Navy than other archaic designs due to their worth in sheer tonnage. Like the other archaic designs Grand Cruisers are also used extensively by the forces of chaos, often serving as flagships in fleets that lack a battleship.
The escorts used by the Imperial Navy are many and varied, though the 'big three' (Sword, Firestorm, Cobra) they use the most are generally a good quality and reliable, and therefore less popular among independents for their comparably high cost.

Notes: The Partisan-class Raider was designed with maximum speed in mind at the cost of manoeuvrability, as such it rolls 5d6 for determining additional Speed when using All Ahead Full special orders but may not use Come to New Heading special orders. Despite being an unofficial design and no-longer produced, their passive augers and similar design allow Partisan-class Raiders to easily pass for Cobra Destroyers at longer range, allowing them to pose as vessels of the Imperial Navy.
Special Rule Empyrean Mantle: Partisan-class Raider's are equipped with a sophisticated sensor array and 'quiet' engines, greatly aiding avoidance and concealment. To represent this, each Partisan-class Raider/Raider Squadron may take a Leadership test at the beginning of each battle, if passed, the ship/squadron may deploy on any table edge it wishes.
Special Rule Imperial Refit: Despite their unofficial nature, a number of Partisans have been drafted into Imperial service at one point or another and upgraded to naval standard. Partisan-class Raiders that have undergone an Imperial Refit add 1 to both their Turret Rating and Prow Weapons Battery strength.

CHAOS / INDEPENDENTS[]
Most of the chaos fleets' capital ships are archaic-style hulls that have not been produced by the Imperium for thousands of years. However a select few examples of these old ships are still amongst Imperial battlefleets. The most distinctive part of their design is the broad, flattened prow which allows for broadside-level macrobatteries to be mounted on the angled front edges, affording them a full field of fire. However this larger, less sturdy prow design makes lance mountings less flexible and prohibits the mounting of Nova Cannons or Torpedo tubes (on most classes). Furthermore this design prevents the addition of reinforced prow armour, making these ship classes much more vulnerable from the front than their modern equivalents.
Archaic-pattern vessels instead draw their advantage from their advanced engines and weapons, affording them greater speed and longer firing ranges than their modern equivalents.
Both Chaos and the Imperium make equal use of the massive Grand Cruisers, but their stats are only listed above for simplicity (merely replace the imperial attack craft names with those used by chaos).
Meanwhile the escorts used by chaos fleets are primarily ubiquitous, widely produced patterns considered subpar by the Imperial Navy, but popular amongst independents and criminals (and of course, the forces of chaos) for their cheaper nature.

Melta Cannons: These weapons function in the same way as regular weapons batteries. However if a hit from a Melta Cannon causes a critical hit, it also causes a Fire! critical in addition to whichever critical effect it rolls.
Plagueship: Pestilaan-class Light Cruisers are infested with noxious gasses and disease. Hit & Run attacks on Pestilaan-class light cruiser suffer a -3 modifier to their roll for critical effect. Any ship that boards or is boarded by a Pestilaan-class Light Cruiser automatically suffers a Plague! critical hit. This is identical in function to a Fire! critical, save that if damage from a Plague! critical hit results in the destruction of a ship, it automatically becomes a Drifting Hulk rather than rolling for Catastrophic Damage.

STYRIAN TRIARCHY[]
The Styrian Triarchy - as a relatively young renegade empire - is very limited in shipbuilding capabilities. The Styrian fleet consists of a mixture of former-Imperial starships and starships that have been constructed by the Triarchy's rudimentary shipyards, with their few Capital Ships being almost entirely the former. The former-Imperial vessels are mostly starships that were once a part of the Imperial Navy Battlegroup that oversaw Subsector Mortis while it was still a part of the Imperium. The Styrian Fleet is primarily composed of escorts and the only ships constructed by their own shipyards are escorts of cheap & easily produced designs. However they have recently begun attempts to construct entire Capital Ships.

Disruption Battery rules: Disruption Batteries use the gunnery table and roll against enemy armour exactly like normal weapons batteries, but each successful hit after shields does not inflict a point of damage. Instead roll a d6 for each successful hit after shields, add 1 to the result, and consult the critical hits table. Apply the corresponding result to the target (Disruption Batteries do not cause Fire! criticals, the target instead suffers a Thrusters Damaged critical).

Space Fortress Movement: The Destructor-class Space Fortress may start the game either moving if stationary. If stationary and wishing to move, the station must use All Ahead Full and will move 5 in any direction in that movement phase if successful (if unsuccessful it must remain stationary and armament firepower is still halved), in its following movement phase, it must once again use All Ahead Full and moves 10 in the same direction that movement phase, it is now 'fully in-motion' and may continue to move 10 in that direction every subsequent movement phase with no need to use All Ahead Full. If the second All Ahead Full test is failed, the vessel does not move and must restart the entire procedure, and armament firepower is still halved for the turn. If the Fortress is moving and wishes to become stationary, the process must be performed in reverse using Burn Retros (that is, Burn Retros once to start moving 5, then again to be stationary). If the Fortress is fully in-motion and wishes to turn, it must use Come to New Heading in order to turn 1/8, and may not make a turn two turns in a row unless using a gravity well.
Notes: All weapons may split fire between any vessels within range in any way at will with no penalty. Thunderhawk Squadrons may be stationed instead of regular Fighter/Bomber squadrons but the Thunderhawks must be purchased separately. Because of it's colossal size the Destructor-class Space Fortress is a much easier target than other vessels, attacks on this vessel always count as Closing on the gunnery table (unless stationary, where it counts as Defences).

Space Fortress Movement: The Doomsday-class Space Fortress may start the game either moving if stationary. If stationary and wishing to move, the station must use All Ahead Full and will move 5 in any direction in that movement phase if successful (if unsuccessful it must remain stationary and armament firepower is still halved), in its following movement phase, it must once again use All Ahead Full and moves 10 in the same direction that movement phase, it is now 'fully in-motion' and may continue to move 10 in that direction every subsequent movement phase with no need to use All Ahead Full. If the second All Ahead Full test is failed, the vessel does not move and must restart the entire procedure, and armament firepower is still halved for the turn. If the Fortress is moving and wishes to become stationary, the process must be performed in reverse using Burn Retros (that is, Burn Retros once to start moving 5, then again to be stationary). If the Fortress is fully in-motion and wishes to turn, it must use Come to New Heading in order to turn 1/8, and may not make a turn two turns in a row unless using a gravity well.
Supernova Cannon: The most powerful laser-based weapon ever created by man. The Fortress may only fire this weapon whilst stationary, and may not fire any other weapon or launch ordnance in the same turn it fires the supernova cannon, as the entire Fortress is carefully oriented towards the target. To fire the Supernova Cannon, you must first pass a Leadership Test, if unsuccessful, the crew has failed to orient the Fortress properly and the cannon does not fire (and you still may not use any other weapons or ordnance), if successful, the cannon fires. Trace a 1cm wide line between the Fortress and the centre of the base of the enemy ship targeted, extend the line beyond the targeted ship to the edge of the map (it is only capable of targeting a ship within 90cm but the beam itself inflicts damage far beyond this range). Any ship whose base touches the line suffers 2d6 hits. Any ship whose base-centre touches the line is instantly destroyed, it does not roll on the Catastrophic Damage chart as anything potentially combustible has been completely disintegrated. In a narrative sense, the Supernova Cannon may be fired at a planet to shatter it, killing everything on its surface, it may also be fired into the nearest star, resulting in a supernova which will incinerate the Fortress as well as everything else in the local region.
Notes: All weapons may split fire between any vessels within range in any way at will with no penalty. Thunderhawk Squadrons may be stationed instead of regular Fighter/Bomber squadrons but the Thunderhawks must be purchased separately. Because of it's colossal size the Doomsday-class Space Fortress is a much easier target than other vessels, attacks on this vessel always count as Closing on the gunnery table (unless stationary, where it counts as Defences).
Shield Station[]
Type | Speed | Turn | Shields | Armour | Turrets |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Defences/16 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 86+ | 6 |
Weapon | Range / Speed | Strength | Arc |
---|---|---|---|
Weapons Battery | 60 | 16 | All Around |
Lance Batteries | 60 | 5 | All Around |
Launch Bays |
30 (Fury Interceptors) 20 (Starhawk Bombers) |
6 Squadrons | - |
Nova Cannon | 30 - 150 | 1 | All Around |
Notes: The Shield Systems maintain constant positions within the stable exits of the Grave, so they do not orbit anything. If the Station suffers an Orbit Lost critical effect, the effect is that the station may not fire its Nova Cannon until the damage is repaired (note, Orbit Lost still causes +1 extra damage).
Vessel status update template[]
Hits Remaining:
Ordnance (Torpedoes/Launch Bays): *LOADED* / *NOT LOADED* (Available Squadrons:)
Critical Damage:
E.g.
Battle Barge
Hits Remaining: 4
Ordnance (Torpedoes): *NOT LOADED*
Ordnance (Launch Bays): *NOT LOADED* (Available Squadrons: 2)
Critical Damage: *CRIPPLED* - *PORT ARMAMENT DAMAGED* - *FIRE* - *ENGINE ROOM DAMAGED*
Note: Successful 'Reload Ordnance' order re-loads ANY ordnance slots currently not-loaded. Therefore a ship could fire just torpedoes, fail it's subsequent reload, and still launch fighters next turn, pass it's subsequent reload, then launch both torpedoes AND fighters the turn after that.
