Re: Traveller

Cool idea Robin,

	However, the firepower of a mass 30 FT ship relative to a mass
80 
FT ship is not equivalent to a Crusier class 15000 ton ship versus a 
Light Carrier(60000 Ton).  Still the outcome is the same when these two 
antagonists meet.

	I believe Mike's 50 tons per mass point is, OK.  But I was
trying 
to find a "true" conversion so I could use the FT combat system is FRP 
that need more detail (cargo space and such) not so I could drag 
starships from other games into FT.  When Mike gave us the cargo space 
requirements for troops and equipment in more thrust, whether he likes
it 
or not, he gave us the conversion factor.  I just crunched the numbers.
