Starship hull-points


Rules Questions


Haven't seen this asked yet, but we're still in rapid-fire question zones, so I'm sorry if this has already been covered.

Some Starships have a minimum tier possible. This isn't a requirement, but larger starship frames in particular require an amount of BP that simply isn't available at lower tiers.
The issue is, for the three largest ships, this puts their minimum possible tier above Tier 4. According to Hull Point rules, this means that their HP increases.

My question is this: is the base HP listed for Carriers, Battleships, and Dreadnoughts including pre-existing HP increases (that would be mandatory by that tier), or is it just the base? Do Carriers, Battleships, and Dreadnoughts even get HP increases for Tier 4?

Calculate out their hull points--and everything else--by their tier as normal. Since the "minimum" tier for the ship is something you had to calculate, not expressly written in, they did not intend for that minimum to be used in any of the ship's stats.

No need to force extra math on yourself. Yeah, bigger ships have more hull points.
