The rulebook states that linked weapons only pay for their turret cost once, but turret cost is armour x fire arc modifier with no factor for the number of weapons. Does anyone know how this is meant to work?

And why does the size 1DD Thermopylae have 2 weapons on some hardpoints? I'm busy editing the builder and the sooner I get these items sorted the sooner it's done.

Wish I knew, but good to hear there is work on the builder!

The Thermopylae is probably just a typo or legacy of an earlier draft of the rules that never got corrected.
As far as the linked weapon systems goes, it would be helpful if you provided the book & page number so I could review the rules specifically. Let me know, and I'll take a look.

Linked weapons systems, Stars Reach, pg 19.
Thanks Robert

Works just like regular weapon systems.
Regular weapon systems, you pay the cost of the weapons, plus the turret cost. Linkex weapon syststems, you pay the cost of the weapons, plus the turret cost.
Honestly I've forgotten what the design intent was. . . other than to tie weapon systems to a single die roll.
It's quite possible this was a feature requested by the setting designer.
I did notice another ship with 2 weapons on a hardpoint at size one. It's we might have exceptions because we had to match an existing miniature line that was not designed under the CBF rules.

Well that makes it easy. I'll finish the builder next week then.

Well that makes it easy. I'll finish the builder next week then. Robert Hi toaster, Do we have a combined worksheet yet? I'm looking to design ships with spinal mount weapons ( a la Traveller) but not necessarily those from Star's Reach. Many, many thanks for producing these spreadsheets as they certainly make designing ships simple and fast. Robert H.

The Trazari threw out another headache and I'm waiting for Harry to get back to me about it.

I think we gave Trazari 10% bonus tonnage on the hulls, as well as their special rule. Does that line up with what you're seeing?

That could be it, I'll try and find time to run the numbers this weekend.
