Not exactly. A six fighter group is mass 6, but that includes launch,
recover, and repair facilities. The fighters probably mass only about
half of 1 mass each.

On the other hand useing mass 1 for a guide point would represent the
idea that small FTL drives cost more to produce so actually cost
2 or more times what their tonnage would indicate.

It depends on background I guess. The launch/recover facilities on the
Galactica were 10-20 times the actual size of the fighters carried.
Compare that with B5 where the launch racks are not much more then
required to store the fighters.

What a wasted post.(IMHO)
