I'm assuming that function is to develop the area of the ship which is
exposed to fire?  And assumes that all your ships use the same
proportion length/width/height?  How much of a spread do you want?  For
example, my Mass 3 Goalie has a result of 2, a mass 250 SDN has a result
of 40 (based on mass, with no modifier for thrust).
