Subject: [FT] Hull boxes & DCPs
The Alarishi Empire battlecruiser Alacrity has 101 mass, weak hull,
therefore 20 hull boxes and 6 DCP. Following the instructions, we
divide
20 by 6 to get 3.33 and round up to 4. We put DCP's in hull boxes 4, 8,
12,
16, 20....and that's the last hull box, with one DCP left to go. Where
do
we put it?
a) put DCP's in 4, 8, 12, 16, 19, 20 (stuffing that last one in at the
end)
b) put DCP's in 4, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 (for intervals of 4, 4, 3, 3, 3, 3)
c) do something else
I sincerely hope this is an academic question, by the way--with 2 Beam
4's
and Thrust 8, I'm hoping never to let the enemy in range to hit me. : )
