In a message dated 99-02-12 14:36:46 EST, you write:

<< Someone said that the normal engines require fractional accounting
below 20
 spaces.  How about do the normal calculation, and round the fraction
up?
 
 Or say that Thrusters only turn the craft, not move it, and take no
space,
 but say normal cost per point.  And if you want to put on more than a
few
 turns worth, make them require space...

Two main thruster points (10% of total mass) gives you 3 thrust points,
for
the main thrust, 1 for turning, so if you can only turn you are only
using one
third of the thrusters, thus 3.33% seems resonable.
