DO NOT EVER put ascii codes in a report.

Fed HDWG: The uncrippled "G" factor is missing per (525.23G). FEDS - 23 Aug 2020

FED HDWs: The construction costs for the several of the Fed HDWs needs to be corrected.


Quote:

(525.211) If a HDW is built configured for any mission (525.23) except K-Combat, the cost of the reconfiguration is paid at the time of construction.




Recommend correcting the following BUILD COSTS to read:
HDWA: For DW: 6+1+HOG
HDWC: For DW: 6+1
HDWE: For DW: 6+1
HDWF: For DW: 6+1
HDWG: For DW: 6+1
HDWK: For DW: 5+1
HDWP: For DW: 6+1+POG
HDWQ: For DW: 10+1
HDWR: For DW: 6+1+FOP
HDWS: For DW: 7+1
HDWT: For DW: 6+1
HDWV: For DW: 6+1+COG
HDWY: For DW: 6+1+YOG
HDWZ: For DW: 6+1+ZOG

FEDS - 23 AUG 2020

Non concur. Corrected numbers are in TO.
Ryan, FEAST, 25 Dec 22


FEDS reply: The build costs on the TO SIT are wrong. The cited AO-2022 rule (525.211) is correct.

Typically, the hull configuration costs for newly build HDWs are (these numbers below don't include the required +1 for the casual fighter factor):
HDWK cost "x" This is essentially the 'base hull' of HDWs)
HDWS cost "x+2" (+2 for 2EW);
HDWQ cost "x+5" (+2 EW & +3 survey premium);
All other HDWs cost "x+1" (plus any added package POG/FOP/COG etc.)

If I am missing something here, then let me know what I am missing.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 01:19 pm: Edit

Federation: Heavy Cruisers: CFS: Cost: For CA: 12 should be For CA: 14. The CF is 2 points more than the standard CA for the F ship abilities. The CFS is a 4 point scout with F ship abilities. Thus it should be 8 points for CA hull, 2 points for the F ship abilities and 4 points for the EW factors. Thomas Mathews 31 Aug 2020

Concur.
Ryan, FEAST, 25 Dec 22

By Richard Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 04:21 pm: Edit

CFS might be 13 points Turtle; one point discount for doing two conversions at once.

Non Concur. Not a two step converstion
Ryan, FEAST, 25 Dec 22


FEDS: NON-CONCUR
Rationale: the rule states:


Quote:

(437.1) ALLOWABLE CONVERSIONS
This is only possible when the first conversion is to a larger ship class and the second is to a variant of that larger class. Allowable two-step conversions all begin from a “base hull” not a variant of a base hull.



The CA to CF is the same size.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 04:49 pm: Edit

Richard that is the build cost. Also, there would be no discount for a conversion from a CA as it is not a 2 step conversion.

By Kevin Howard (Jarawara) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 05:10 pm: Edit

But there are other discounts for build costs of "double conversion" type units. The D6D would cost 2 for the drone capability, and 2 for the scout functions, but a total of 3 pt surcharge (added to the base cost of 8 for the hull). So there is precedent

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 07:57 pm: Edit

That example doesn't work Kevin. Drone ships have a specified cost listed in the rules.

By Richard Eitzen (Rbeitzen) on Monday, August 31, 2020 - 10:15 pm: Edit

Hmm, was looking for another example but failed.

The Kzinti SDW costs 4 EP to convert from a DW rather than 3. So either it is incorrect or Turtle is correct.

By Thomas Mathews (Turtle) on Tuesday, September 01, 2020 - 06:16 am: Edit

Richard, the 2020 Kzinti SIT lists the SDW as 3 point conversion from the DW and 7 as a sub for the DW. Matching the F&E Rule (309.0) Note that non-scout drone ships cost 2 points for the conversion or +2 over the base hull cost for substitution, while those with scout functions are +3.

By Kevin Howard (Jarawara) on Tuesday, September 01, 2020 - 09:38 am: Edit

Yes, I agree that the D6D example is a "specified cost", but the point is that costs sometimes are just "specified", and not just summed up from all the components.

You state that the CFS should cost 14. The SIT says 12. I'm simply stating that it could be a specified cost of 12, and is not required to be 14.

But I was just pointing that out that line of logic, I don't mind either way. So sure, I second it - it should cost 14.

GSC build cost: Should this be 13 (8+5) instead of 15? (Nick Samaras. September 11, 2020).
FEDS: NON-CONCUR. Recommends no change. RATIONALE: Normally, the five EPs includes the cost of the ship's survey package plus the normal cost of two points of EW. However, since the Fed GSC has a FOUR EW rating, this fact required the addition of two more EP to account the GSC's increased capability.

By Nick Samaras (Koogie) on Saturday, September 12, 2020 - 03:15 pm: Edit

Fed AVP: Missing salvage cost. Should build cost have "(431.22): 2+20" instead of "cost = 2+20"? (Nick Samaras, September 12, 2020).

HWXA/H: This should only be HWXA and needs A20 "10V" fighter factors, not F111 "8H" factors. (Nick Samaras, September 15, 2020).

HWXQ: Conversion from HDWX should be 5 for survey, not 1. (Nick Samaras, September 15, 2020).

HWXY: Missing entry. (Nick Samaras, September 15, 2020).

Federation FXE: Missing SIT entry for escort version of two Federation Express transports. Two FDX's were intended for Federation DVL light dreadnought carrier on raids. Never used, if built. DVL was destroyed in an ambush on a raid mission by a Klingon PF division before they were used. Presumably, the FDX will be in either NO or LE? (Trent Telenko 11/30/2020)

By Trent J. Telenko (Trent_Telenko) on Monday, November 30, 2020 - 02:30 pm: Edit

Federation HDWA (A-20) Light carrier note is needed to reflect HDW with COG are classed as light carriers in SFB.
-- A-20 escort req'd note also needed for all HDW with AOG as "All carriers of A-20s must be escorted as carriers during all time periods;" see (515.13) & (532.225).
-- Suggest this note: "A-20 light carrier"
(Trent Telenko 11/30/2020)

Federation HVX (X-CAV w/A-20) : Missing from SIT and is in SFB X1R module.
-- If the HVX is added to F&E. It will need a A-20 escort req'd note as "All carriers of A-20s must be escorted as carriers during all time periods;" see (515.13) & (532.225).
-- Suggest this note: "A-20 medium carrier"
(Trent Telenko 11/30/2020)

Federation HWXA/HWXH (F-101): Shouldn't this be a HWXA for the A-20's fielded on a HWX with a AOG?
-- Also, shouldn't this be a HDWY for the F-101's on a HWX with a YOG?
-- Light carrier note is needed for HXW with YOG to reflect HDW with COG are classed as light carriers in SFB.
-- A-20 escort req'd note is needed for HWX with AOG to reflect "All carriers of A-20s must be escorted as carriers during all time periods;" see (515.13) & (532.225)
-- Suggest these notes: "A-20/F-101 light carrier"
(Trent Telenko 11/30/2020)

Federation HWXV (F-18) Light carrier note is needed to reflect HWX with COG are classed as light carriers in SFB.
-- Suggest this note: "Light carrier"
(Trent Telenko 11/30/2020)

By Graham Cridland (Grahamcridland) on Sunday, April 04, 2021 - 12:57 am: Edit

Federation CVD: Page 3 of SIT.

Missing text in notes (at least, I think so). Reads "carrier, oversized squadron" (on the second line, below a blank first line). Presumably this should be "Medium carrier, interdiction carrier (CVD), oversized squadron"?
