Normal blueprint costs: Community ship guide by sturmer.one (kekbur.net), Beta Patch 2. Rarer blueprints need more of every material; their columns add that percentage to the Normal cost, rounded to the nearest unit (the game's own rounding isn't documented). Forge upgrades can offset some of the extra. Blueprint and earlier values.

Yours is issued at Faction quality, which is -15% on stats. Treat it as a learning hull and replace it as soon as you can.

You get a free replacement if you have no hull, but losing the faction starter costs Merits. Not free, just cheap.
