Re: [GZG] [FB1/DS2] Size of standard fighters [TOBECLASSIFIED][SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

["Hansuke" <hansuke@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Brendan,

The 1 MASS = 25 CS for FB jives with an early observation of mine, which was 
that if FB ships are 2-3 times bigger than FT ships, then the amount of CS 
should be at least halved for FB ships cargo.

I will have to search the archives. Thanks for the time frame to search in. 
I should probably review those discussions before dragging this up for a 
re-hash.

Bobby
