Hulls
Hulls (was Player's Handbook starships) posted in Spaceships & Vehicles forum comment posted by cobalt_phoenix | Author |
| Following in a sense (for a different concept), can a yard refit a ship from a civilian hull to a similarly-sized (considering suggestions elsewhere) military hull? Can they apply the benefits of standard design, whatever those are (certain Perks, perhaps) to a similar-sized hull? I'd suggest no to the first, perhaps the second. It'll all be backstory to a stat block compliant to the rules and accepted extensions, no doubt. |
I would say that you can't modify a civilian hull to be a military hull, even if they are the same size. That opinion is mostly based on me thinking that basic properties of a military hull (the increased durability and toughness along with the dramatically increased cost) has to due with the materials used in the construction and the build standards in the design. To make a civilian hull a military hull would likely require completely removing all of the equipment, replacing all of the structural components of the entire hull, and then replacing the components. Which would be the same thing as just building an entirely new ship and scrapping the civilian hull.
I do think it should be possible generally to allow for the perks and flaws to included, but I don't think there are really any that are specifically limited to military hulls directly that couldn't instead be linked to the military yards themselves. I could be wrong on that, of course.
