Here's another BFG ship chart.

Some extra data on these ships:

Class: Tempest
Type Light Cruiser
Total number commissioned: 15 (13 finished before the end of the crusade)
Time of construction: 6 years at Magnus surrexit shipyards (Feudal world)
First ship deployed: 233.M41
Crew: 2232

Advantages:
- Heavier frontal weaponry
- Better frontal armour
- Slightly smaller side profile, making it a smaller target (no game effect)

Disadvantages:
- Weaker port and starpoard batteries compared to standart Dauntless class light cruiser
- No improved thrusthers, due to increased weapon power consumption
- Several minor desing errors and faults due to rushed desing and construction (when rolling for results on the critical hit chart add +1 to the score)
- Lack of parts because the ship is new and rare class (during campaings can only be repaired by withdrawing the ship)

Thank you. Have to admit though, I prefer the Rogue Trader RPG's ship numbers to those of BFG, and those are still utterly ridiculous once you get past the escorts - mass scales with volume, which scales geometrically with the ship's length, darn it!

Ahem.

Might I suggest a ship length of 3-3.5 kilometres and a mass of 100~150 megatons? That should put it at roughly two thirds the length and mass of a Dauntless, using the length from the RPG and scaling the mass appropriately (geometrically rather than linearly with the length of the hull).
