Hello there, I was looking in the SotG book and I have seen the Hangar Bay accesory. The cost in EP seems reasonable, converting EP in Hangar space, but what it doesn't seem very king is the conversion for greater ships in said hangar:
For 8 EP in a Frigate, you can get a Huge ship in there. Seems reasonable, loking at 8 EP are like 400 tons of cargo of space.
The problem is that if you try to seize a Gargantuan Ship, you have to pay 40 EP, the equivalent of 2.000 tons of cargo. Too much for a single X-Wing, don't you think?
But the worst is with Colossal starships, with an inversion of 160 EP and 8.000 tons of cargo. Totally out of the charts for a normal Colossal (Frigate) Starship.
But then you see that some starships like the Marauder have not only space for 12 starfighters but for 2 landing barges and 4 shuttles. The book doesn't specify what they are, but if we assume that a "landing barge" is something like a LAAT/i (theorically is for deployment of troops in land) and a Shuttle follows the rules of the Stock Shuttle, the Marauder has space for 12 Gargantuan Starships and 6 Colossal Starships, with a total ammount of 1.440 EP used in the Hangar Bays.
I think that the problem is that a Gargantuan Starship doesn't consume the space of 5 Huge starships. The X-Wing has a length of 12.65m (according to Wookiepedia) where the TIE fighter has a length of 7.24m. In the space of a X-wing you could bring two, maybe three, TIE fighters, but not more. In this image we can see that the same happens between the YT-1300 and the X-Wing, with two, maybe three X-wings able to fit in the space of an YT.
