All weapons start at a range of 30 cm. and for every 15 cm beyond that, it's an additional 10 points. And as for total points, after figuring the total points, round it. For a result with a last digit (before the decimals) of 1-2, round down; of 3-4, round to 5; of a result of 5, drop the decimals; of 6-7 round to 5; of 8-9 round up to 0; and a result of 0, drop the decimals.

Also, Nova Cannons cost 70 points, and to equip a nova cannon on a battleship or cruiser, you CANNOT have any other form of prow weaponry.
