"A", yes. "The"... well, that remains to be seen but it looks likely <g>

("CPV" for "Combat Points Value", to emphasise that it refers to the ship's 
combat potential and *not* to how much it costs in background universe 
money to build it :-/ )

Here :-/

Basically what you do is replace the "Basic hull cost" of 1xTMF by 
TMFxTMF/100, rounded to the nearest integer (recent minor modification: 
"but never to less than 1 point", similar to the rounding rules for engine 
etc. Mass ratings).

The "full" version treats carriers, freighters etc. differently, but the 
above formula covers all non-carrier warships... and since the carrier etc. 
bits are tied to some of the stuff playtested at ECC7 and are still subject 
to change at short notice, I won't go further into those bits at the moment.
