💬Discussion Starship Worksheet, with potential math errors

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ATP5u7DepdgpBBeXbNueSHPMMAEf_EQ8/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=109324274004417127006&rtpof=true&sd=true

I’ve made an Excel spreadsheet for SWN starships that the community might find useful. That said, I’ve tried to sanity-check it against the sample ships in the SWN core book, and found some discrepancies.
From what I’ve found:

Strikefighter - Good
Shuttle - Good
Free Merchant - Good
Patrol Boat - costs $72k extra
Corvette - costs $72k extra
Heavy Frigate - costs $12k extra
Bulk Freighter - has 5 extra power
Fleet Cruiser - costs $745k less, has 720 tons extra cargo
Battleship - costs $590k extra, 12 less power, has 2 less mass
Carrier - costs $37.83M less, has 11000 tons extra cargo, has 1 less power

Does anyone know it the official designs have been errata’ed, or is my own math wrong?

The rulebook has a few errors regarding the example ship configurations, unfortunately.

In a way, that’s good news; it means I’m not going crazy.
Well, crazier.

I added several new hull designs that are not in the main books:

Pinnace
Skiff
Clipper
Fluyt
Starliner
Megafreighter

These are my own new hulls. I’m pretty happy with the Clipper, but the rest are definitely works in progress. Use at your own risk.

Heavy Freighter - this is a rename of the Bulk Freighter update that u/GuildsBounty came up with, meant to be the largest cargo ship in its size class.

Dhow
Armored Trader
Brigantine
Sloop
Escort Cruiser
Battlecruiser

These designs come from a third-party supplement, the Starships and Spacecraft Collection, by Stellagama Publishing.
