I was using that in my calculations for the mass of the hull. 

Thus the 5 mass of craft would take 8 mass for the bay to accomodate 
them. Again, unless the Ships boat would be part of the ships fit and be

free. Thats more where my questions lie. And along the lines of the mass

conversion for Cargo Spaces (cs) from MT to the FB.

Size 4 or 5 for DS or FT? According the MT a mass 2 assault lander can 
carry 20 foot troops. 1 man = 1cs. 10 CS = 1 mass drop capacity. 

Where do you get the no defences or weapons part from?

For transport (not landing craft) MT has a value of 
1 man = 4 cs accomodation
1 man = 1 cs cyro sleep
1 mass = 50 cs accomodation/cargo.
