My error in copying mass, Have corrected SSD and table.

Re: 1 mass unused: I used Sean Schoonmaker FB1 Excel file from the
computer
core for the calculation. This calculates the mass bottom up from the
ship's
systems. Perhaps there is an error in the rounding used ? Will check and
revert.

Revised SSD and table. Added ADFC, removed 1 armour to keep total mass.
re:unused mass see above

Messed up, have corrected the design.
If I read the rules correctly, it really does not make any cost
difference
to have 5 or 6-arc B2 ?
