I made it 320. In that I went for a what it has and percentages basis
rather than min maxing. Its not a very MM design after all. Since you
seem to be correct I have discovered that enginering felt that telling
you about 2 Submunitions packs was inappropriate. Which takes TMF to
320. Now I just have to work out how one factors an chief engineer
who's bionic arms are also high explosive charges.

Thus 64/ 128

Which accounts for the higher price. +3 for hull, + 6 for SMP's and +2
for the extra FTL capability.

A typo. F, FP, FS. This and the SMP's are representing the rather
incoherent use of missile systems the Yamato displays.

TMF 100

I was counting Armour As Mass x3 for some reason.

I know but given the way this ship was designed it is a good argument
for such. What loonie put a giant fin in front of one of the turrets.
[Obviously the same one who thought the Mogami should have the thin
fins in front of thier weapons.]

I am suitably chastised and will include TMF in future.
