RE: Fighters

When I started number crunching, it sort of worked out that a size-4
fighter
used up 20 CS without a bay & 32 CS with a bay (SG = size x 8, FT = mass
x
1.5).  It works out the same amount of CS is required, except the
rounding
in SG gives a slight penalty.  There's nothing *official* with regards
to CS
in FTFB, it's unofficially 20-25 CS depending on your preferences.
