High Guard 2e question

Does Armor add to the Hull point value?

I've been trying to convert some of the MGT 1 ships and I was trying to figure out the hull point value.

Does Armor add to the Hull point value?

No, they are separate, see Core p159.

I've been trying to convert some of the MGT 1 ships and I was trying to figure out the hull point value.

I would use the system from HG p10: One Hull point per 2.5 Dt Hull, +10% extra if reinforced structure or hull. Ships over 25 kDt get more Hull points.

Hull points in MgT2 represent both Hull and Structure in MgT1. You generally get a lot more Hull points in MgT2 than you had Hull + Structure in MgT1.

Armour, by it's nature, is protective.

Hull points is toughness; the bigger you are, the inherent toughness multiplies.

At the other end of the scale, you can cost cut and lighten the hull, at ninety percent toughness from the default.
