Is there even a fixed answer in the Tuffleyverse? It all depends on
what units people use for turn length and distance, which I've never
seen official figures for.

If thrust 1 = 1g, then (ignoring structural limitations) even a big
lumbering NSL superdreadnaught can land and take off from an Earth
like world just on raw thrust.

If thrust 1 = 0.25g, then only ships with a thrust > 4 are going to
be able to do so.

At some point I had streamlining adding to thrust for purposes of
whether something could land or take off in an atmosphere.
