Hello,
In the new Fleet Book design, we see that costs for systems is based
on mass devoted to that system multiplied by a factor based on the
sophistication of that design. Systems dealing with Electronic Warfare
are not addressed quite in this manner in the Fleet Book.
Basic Hull designs multiple is 1.
Mass devoted to Hull factor is 2.
Weapons systems factor is 3.
Fire Control systems factor is 4.
Therefore, Electronic Warfare systems factor should be 5.
Enhanced sensors of mass 1 would cost 5
Superior sensors of mass 2 would cost 10
Spot Jammers of mass 2 would cost 10.
Area Jammers of mass 3 would cost 15.
Weasel systems that emulate 20 mass per mass devoted would have a
multiple of 5 as well.
For those playing in the Alderson Campaign, you should use these
numbers as well.
