The following is designed to (hopefully) allow you to create your own starships. It isn't perfect, but it seems to do well. 
Imperial Cruiser - 180pts
Armament:
The Cruiser must be armed with one of the following weapon sets.
A note on Weapon Arcs: Some weapons are listed with the "Broadside" fire arc. This is where two weapons are fitted together, and they fire in the direction of their facing (ie: a "Forward" weapon battery with "Broadside" has two identical batteries. One fires Left, one fires Right).
Prow: Str 6 Torpedo salvo; Prow Lance Battery (30cm Str 3 Front arc); Prow Weapons Battery (30cm Str 9 Front).
Front Armaments: Two identical weapons, chosen from the following: Lance Battery (30cm Str 2 Broadside)*, Weapons Battery (30cm Str 6 Broadside).
Rear Armaments: Two identical weapons, chosen from the following: Lance Battery (30cm Str 2 Broadside)*, Weapons Battery (30cm Str 6 Broadside).
* = If two Lance Batteries are taken, increase vessel cost by +5pts.
Upgrades:
The following Upgrades may be purchased. No upgrade may be purchased more than once.
Prow Upgrades:
Forward Armament Upgrades:
Rear Armament Upgrades:
** = If both of these options are taken, Forward and Rear armaments are merged into a single Str 3 Launch Bay, and total cost reduced to +50pts.
