Point Cost of SA's

No, because it scales with the power of the unit. ER4 on Scheer is worth about the same as on Prinz Eugen, maybe a smidge more. On Bismarck, obviously it’s got more value.

Gentlemen, thanks for the info. I was hoping it would be standardized, but apparently its art and science. Thanks again guys.

Now that we have the general point cleared up ... is there a particular situation you had in mind that you'd like to discuss?

Well ... yes, it is "easy" if a card has room, to add an "SA" to it. The other option is to look at The_Lucky_Y's cards, which are pretty well accepted and used in the online tournaments by most players. He cut the costs. Your version is also possible, the challenge being consensus for use online.

Now, for local play ... you only need your local group to approve.

One thing we learned early on in the card development process was "shimming" (as we call it) a card with an additional SA to make it fit a cost generally doesn't go very well. This was commonly suggested early on when we had cards that were "on the bubble" for cost. We tried adding a low value 0.5 point SA to the card to make it fit the rounded up cost. Generally, that 0.5 point SA wasn't consistent with the rest of the card and didn't really enhance the card by the value. We learned by the end of the second deck we were far better off to let the cost "round down" by a half point and not mess with the SA suite that had been crafted to fit that card. It rarely ends up making an under cost card because the teams are so conservative.

I agree with Swizzle that The_Lucky_Y's cards are the go-to for anyone wanting corrected early set WotC cards.

It's possible that all of us are growing into nicer, more mature people.
