	Comparing the mass of a single fighter versus the DS sample
Areospace
fighter it was size three for 15 CS.  To fit one vehicle inside another
takes 8/5 * CS (size).	Therefore to fit a standard Aerospace fighter
into
a vehicle takes 15 * 8/5 =24. round up to 25 and you have a Bay that can
hold a fighter.  In order to arm, refuel and service a fighter, you need
a
fighter Bay, hence the 50% increase in mass requirements...

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
