Determining the final BPV of the completed ship is fairly simple. Use the following formula when calculating:
Total system cost of ALL systems in the ship, not including Scanner or Damage Control boxes.
Take the total figure and divide by 4. Round appropriately.
This should give you a more than 90% accurate reading of the BPV of the ship.
Use the chart below for determining the cost of each system.
