Look at the formula in MT again. A Warship has a number of Cargo spaces
for
Marines equal to its MASS X 4. Each Marine takes up 4 cargo spaces...
Unless they are frozen. If you combine the rules for Warships,
Merchants
etc. you get that the ship may carry a number of Marines equal to the
Mass
devoted to troops multiplied by 4. If you work it all out then a
warship
with 10% devoted to troops can carry a number of troops equal to its
Mass X
5/4. An Amphibious ship with 50% of its mass devoted to troops, (10%
for
weapons) may carry its Mass X 5 troops.
