Re: [GZG] Multi-level rules sought. [TBC] [SEC=P] & FTverse colinies

Mainly, I argue on the basis of granularity; it's as easy to say that the
dimples, in which that external craft nest, increase the bulk of the hull
enough to call it the overhead in the rules. *shrug*

Parts of the colony size discussion happens fairly regularly; the possible
population increase has been given some impressive analysis, and searching
the archives is left to the reader. It's too embarassing for me to look at
suggestions offered me that I failed to follow up sufficiently.

How this translates actual economies and fleets tends to be a bit more
handwavium, and each player has free rein to push his own view.

Before you get too excited in comparing a homegrown fleet to the canon
ones, be sure you don't take the fleet books as being exhaustive as to
numbers. Several places, old classes, variants, and new builds are eluded
to. I always assumed the books were to be 'representative', and the full
fleets could vary significantly from the totals you get working from JUST
the lists.
