RE: [FT] Obsolete ships

It would really depend on how 'obsolete' you want your fleet to be.
If the systems were experimental when installed, then increase the mass
by 50% with normal point costs per mass.  If they're just 'antique'
versions, then increase the points by 1 or 2 per mass for the 'antique'
systems.

One of the ideas I was playing with for a while was to have a NRE
'mothball' or Reserve fleet with older ships which no longer quite cut
it on the front lines.	I wasn't sure how to represent this.  One
thought I had was to remove the more 'high-tech' weapons, and to make
the ones that were installed bulkier.  Any ideas on exactally how to peg
the ratio of 'modern' size to 'obsolete' size, and how to point-cost
them?
