Starship Troopers Command Points

[Lupin]

I'm trying to work out how many command points a Officer Cadet receives at level up. At 1st level they receive number equal to half their CHA, and they replenish just like action points. But then it states that the receive a number of command points each level equal to 1+prestige. This is very confusing as action points are lost each level and a new set are gained equal to 1/2 CHA + 1/2 lvl.

Well, you have two options as the GM:

(1) Resolve this rule by reading up on it and making a logical decision

(2) House ruling it and do what you feel like. Losing action points at levels sucks? Don't let them be lost, let them accumulate.
