ACTA: Question about Ice Comets 10% reduction

[Narchy]

According to the rule book, a player with an ice-rock composite comet receives a 10% RR cost reduction when buying reinforcements.

It also states that you round up.

There is contention in our house as to what exactly this results in.

A Skirmish level ship costs 3RR:

- Do you reduce it to 2RR (A 0.3 reduction rounded up to 1)
- Do you not reduce it at all (Reduce by 0.3, which would give 2.7, rounded up to 3)

The same situation arises with Patrol level ships, which cost 6RR:
- Do you reduce it to 5RR (A 0.6 reduction rounded up to 1)
- Do you not reduce it at all (Reduce by 0.6, which would give 5.4, rounded up to 6)

I have always played as 10% rounded up, then taken off the total cost, otherwise your not actually getting a reduction at all. I think its only at battle level, where the cost is 20RR, that it works out to an even figure easily worked out.

Could be wrong though; I'm not an official.
