Re: [FT/FB] Maximum ship size

Maybe you should tell them the whole story.   It was an 1100 ton ship
with
partial streamlining and a bunch of marines (the scenario was that we
had to
take a planet).  Before landing the drives were damaged so its thrust
was
slightly less then needed for a safe re-entry.	Needless to say it was a
"controlled" crash to the planets surface yet going by the rules the
ship
took no damage.  Now personally I don't think that 1100 ton ships should
be
able to land.  But then thats just a personal opinion.	:>
