RE: APDs, LSD's and LPAs

Under FTFB, you need 1.5 x mass for the landing craft, so you would need
to
lose the ortillery system to accomodate the hanger.

When running conversions, a mass 1 shuttle works out at either size 4 or
5
(depending on what you prefer), so your mass 2 assault landers can carry
40-50 troops if they have no defences or weapons.
