What would the bpv for a suicide freighter be? So we can balance them in for home made scenarios or campaigns.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start on figuring such out. So, I have kicked it "upstairs". I will let you know when I get an answer.

And do be aware that there may not actually be a direct answer. Since suicide freighters are only supposed to occur within the context of a scenario, it is likely the answer could be along the lines of, "Suicide Freighters only appear as part of a scenario. As such, the scenario will assign it a relative Point Value for victory purposes, or might not assign any value, if the victory conditions do not rely on Point Value comparisons."

The answer is that a small suicide freighter has a Point Value of 50. A large suicide freighter has a Point Value of 100. Fleet scale is half of that.

Thanks. I know they have a unique use but within that use i would expect them to be worth more than just a freighters bpv, but wasn't sure how much more. It is useful to know for balancing our own scenarios or campaigns.
