Hello everyone,
How would you represent the replacement cost for some of a vehicle's armor plate based on the following basic scenario.
Our beleaguered adventures are trying to patch up about 1 ton of the armor belt on a TL 25 TMAC (per the design example), unfortunately the TL 25 armor belt material is not in stock. There is an abundant supply of crystanium (CAT XIV) on hand .
I'm considering using a combination of the Hull Cost and Armor Belt Cost formulas:
Hull Cost = Mass X 100 x Total Cost Factor
Armor Belt Cost = Vehicle Mass x Cost Multiplier
Armor Belt Replacement Cost =
Replaced Armor Belt mass x Hull & Superstructure Cost Multiplier x Armor Belt Protection Modifier.
1 ton of crystanium armor belt x 5.5 x 100 = 550 Credits.
This would be subtracted from the original specifications for a brand new factory direct model.
Does the above sound like a workable solution?
