RE: [GZG] maximum possible thrust

["Robertson, Brendan" <Brendan.Robertson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With a custom hull (1 box regardless of size) you can get a mass 4, MD17+FTL
ship.
Mass 6 for MD18 non-ftl & mass 11 for MD19 non-ftl.
Not good for much, but possible to do.

With FTL
TMF	Hull	FTL	MD17	Excess(MD17)	MD16	Excess (MD16)

2	1	0	2	-1	2	-1
