[UC] Ship Building Questions


Rules Questions

Jon Brazer Enterprises

So I'm building my first ship from the Ultimate Combat Ship Building rules. And I'm lost in some places.

Cost: Is there a formula for deciding cost or is this merely eyeballed?
Base Saves: How is this determined? I did a search for the word "save" and the only result in the chapter (other than in the stat block) was in the description that said it is the Fort, Reflex, and Will all in 1.
Broken hp Judging from the stat blocks, I'm guessing the formula is = 1/2 * (max hp) - 1. Is this correct? The Broken Condition description on page 179 could be more explicit (like by actually stating this forumula). Just to make sure, a vehicle reaches this level, it gains the broken condition, correct?
CMD Since it is not stated anywhere, I'll ask. Is CMD = CMB + 10?
Cargo Is there any hard and fast way to determine cargo or maximum number of passengers?

Thanks,

Another:

Squares is this merely 1 Deck of the vehicle or is this the whole volume? My first instinct was volume but looking over vehicles like the steam giant make me think it is merely 1 deck. Correct? So you could have a 1000 deck vehicle with a 4 square base and it would count as a Large vehicle? Just want to double check here.

Edit: Actually, I just noticed the UC Errata thread. I'm cross-posting these questions there.
