     OK, I got carried away with the rationalization
of the game mechanics.
     
Lets try;

PSB mode on:

Each 'S' ship is a certain size (L x W x H) and
density (normally a constant).	 To be able to make
a 'jump' the ship must punch a hole into 'hyperspace'
compariable with the size of the ship at the 
normally constant density.   A drome womb is a 
'hole' in a ship that has one, and the overall
ship density is still equal to the 'normally 
constant' 'S' value.   If additional mass is 
added to the drone womb the mass of the ship
rises above the 'normally constant' 'S' value 
and the ship must provide additional power to
punch thru to hyperspace.

PSB mode off.

Is that sufficient?

Comments?
