    rounding

    At last, Santa Claus brings me Starship (and Crooks for Mutants and Masterminds). It is a very nice book, with a lot of federation ship but it does not answer me about a small question when you design a ship....a question I have since the Starship design rules in the narrator book

    when yo have to round (exemple 4 + half space), do you round up, round down or do you leave the number with the coma ?

    another question: does the Klingon have Freighter and merchant ships ? can these ships have cloaking devices ? Does these ships have escapes pods ? since I read that Klingons ships usually does not have escape pods.

    Thanks

    Actually, you keep the half space for book keeping

    Klingons do have freighters and merchant men (usually older cruisers refitted for cargo hauling), but can drop the cargo pods so they can fight (with they reduced weapons).

    Escape pods? Depends on the House really. Some do have pods, most don't. The ones that do would be smaller houses, who can't afford to lose that many personnel I would expect.
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Unless specified otherwise, you round in your favor (usually down).
