RE: FT: Sa'Vasku ship costs...

My preference would be one that would not have to rework any of the FB2
Sa'Vasku ships.

70% or more is only possible if you leave out at least one of FTL drive,

Main Engines or Weapons, so it's a bit impractical. 50% is possible, but

tends to leave the ships very short on biomass.
