Re: [FT][OT] Ship Classification Grid

I think that the table can't be adjusted to handle mass, though by the
same token there isn't any real need. The basic concept functions
regardless of mass, just that by the percentages your SD-sized courier
boat will naturally have more space for weapons than the EX-sized
version.

As an aside, the only way I can think to make it hold more data is to
introduce a third dimension.... and that makes reading it rather
tough....
