Question about special characters

[Capt John Sparrow]

Regarding characters in the National Lists

Q. If I am fielding a character, does the character’s points value get added to the ship before or after the 20% Veteran calculation?

I am assuming before, but you know what assume does…

Before – but now you got me thinking…

And on my millionth rereading of the rule book, I discover that you add the characters after calculating upgrades and experience.

This is relatively straightforward except for merchant ships.
So the process is as follows:

Choose ship

Select upgrades
Total points
-20% for inexperienced or +20% for veteran
Round up to get total

But large or small merchant is:

Choose ship (inexperienced bonus already reflected in points listed)

Select upgrades
Total upgrade points
-20% for inexperienced
Add to ship cost
Round up to get total

Straightforward?

This does mean that a fleet list will always total to tens, 490 or 1000
