Just as a note, dropships are only on page 42 of
FB1 and then only in the Assault Transport. I wish more time would have been
given to them. Maybe in "More Thrust Fleet Book". :)

Subject: Re: [GZG] FT Interface Craft
& what CS for FB ship
Another thing about Interface Craft.. in FT terms,
used as Drop Shuttle/ships...
Look at the Assault
Ship, so there we have... 4 Assault Shuttles Massing 5 each and at cost
of 10 points per Shuttle. And each Shuttle carries 50 CS of cargo.
Now it these I see moving 12. If U are talking a interface craft the
size of Fighter, yep it should move about teh same speed, but these Assault
Shuttles are Massive in size. and I have built them as a FT ship before
as well.
Now I've heard people say that FB ships should only get 25CS
per mass.. and back that claim with the fighter in DS being a class or
20 CS.. and having 17.5 of Mass to act as supplies and Hanger for the
fighter.
Me I look at the new FB ships, should still have 50 CS.. because
in addition to the Mass 20 Fighter, you will have 1 Pilot (CS of 4) and min of
5 Flight mechanics, Hanger jocks, etc.. (CS of 20).. now some will say
crew members are not factored in.. but if U look at the Carriers it says..
plus Fighter Pilots and I figure they support teams.. so they aren't figured
into the Crew of teh ship, so they will need spaces to live somewhere
onboard..
So now the Fighter with it crew is ... CS
44
Now a 31 CS for "Hanger and Launch gear,
Resupply Gear, and other need doesn't sound bad.
DOCAGREN
Just a Lurker here on the
Digest, But maybe I have a good idea or 2..
:-)
