Topic: Hyperdrive ?

Just for clarification...

Does each ship come with a Hyperdrive equipped automatically or is there a space unit cost not listed in the construction equipment table?

I did find where if the ship doesn't have a hyperdrive they get a 10% SU bonus...

Still...it wasn't clear if this was the case or not. :?

Re: Hyperdrive ?

The wording of that section seems fairly clear to me.

By default, every ship has one included. If you for whatever reason chose not to have one on the ship, you gain extra SUs to reflect the space that it would have taken up.

Re: Hyperdrive ?

well...if that is the case, then a simple sentence addition to the Hull or Engines section of the construction rules would make it even more clear.
Something along the lines of;

"This includes the ship's hyperdrive at no SU cost (see section XXXX)."


At present, you have to flip to the hyperdrive rules section to discover this and then it only references the removal of the hyperdrive.  It can be a little disconcerting to some to have designed a ship then discover you may have forgot a part. *wry chuckle*
