Title: Manei Domini Pilot BV value
Post by: Straw Boss on 15 November 2017, 20:22:35
My group has started playing some games in the Jihad era and we are a bit confused about Manei Domini pilots.

A Deva pilot with Buffered VDNI and a Pain Shunt would cost (according to JHS:3072 pg. 121):

Deva Prime BV 2.0 = 1584
2/3 pilot modifier = 2.08

1584 X 2.08 X [0.75 (5/4)]=6589.44

But a 1/2 Deva would cost:

1584 X 2.76 =4371.84

I have 2 questions
1] am i miscalculating BV for these units?
2] If not am i missing some ability that Manei Domini pilots have (as I am under the impression that the 2 units above would function identically on the table)?
