Starship AC and TL

[Merm7th]

I'm new to the system about 3 games in and I'm trying to get a handle on how the starship combat works. I've been playing society games.

AC is supposed to be 10 + pilot ranks + armor bonus + size +...

Under ship descriptions it just gives AC not the armor bonus. Is the number their giving supposed to be the armor bonus or is it the calculated AC without the piloting rank added yet?

Same with TL.

Armor bonus comes from what type of armor the ship has. mk1 armor is +1, mk2 armor is +2. See page 297 for the table.

Target Lock (TL) uses the countermeasures bonus provided by the Defensive Countermeasures. Table is found on page 298.

Note, that higher the armor will have a negative impact on TL.

The stat block will include everything expect for the pilot's skill rank if the ship is for PCs. For ships that are for NPCs, it will include the pilot's skill rank as well.
