Subject: [FT/MT/DS]: Mass vs Capacity
I D/L'ed and have been reading MT (thanks again!). I am particularly
interested in the FT/DS interface. But I have a small problem with the
rules for cargo: They seem a bit generous in cargo/mass. Per the
rules, a
fighter is mass 1 (mass 1.5/fighter for the fighter & it's bay). The
FT/DS
rules state that a FT fighter is fully acceptable as a DS fighter, which
means I must conclude that it's DS stats would include a size class
between
1 and 7. But the rules for cargo state that 1 mass = 50 cargo points,
and
that vehicles take up 4 CP per size class. That means a class 7 vehicle
takes up 28 CP, or .56 mass. seems a bit low for what it should take
up. I
haven't begun to break down infantry yet. Does anyone have any better
HR's
for this issue?
Thanks
