Re: [FTFB] Fleet Book Kra'Vak

	I don't know but you might want to make KV armour lighter, say 3

boxes for 2 mass at regular cost. That might solve the problem for the
mid
size ships but you then might need to up the mass of class 3 rail guns,
say
4 before extra arcs, to make the larger ships fit.
