thing about Interface Craft.. in FT terms, used as Drop 
Shuttle/ships...
     Look at the Assault Ship, so there we have...   4 Assault Shuttles 
Massing 5 each and at cost of 10 points per Shuttle.   And each Shuttle
carries 50 
CS of cargo.   Now it these I see moving 12.   If U are talking a
interface 
craft the size of Fighter, yep it should move about teh same speed, but
these 
Assault Shuttles are Massive in size.	and I have built them as a FT
ship 
before as well.

Now I've heard people say that FB ships should only get 25CS per mass.. 
 and 
back that claim with the fighter in DS being a class or 20 CS.. and
having 
17.5 of Mass to act as supplies and Hanger for the fighter.
Me I look at the new FB ships, should still have 50 CS.. because in
addition 
to the Mass 20 Fighter, you will have 1 Pilot (CS of 4) and min of 5
Flight 
mechanics, Hanger jocks, etc..	 (CS of 20).. now some will say crew
members are 
not factored in.. but if U look at the Carriers it says.. plus Fighter
Pilots 
and I figure they support teams.. so they aren't figured into the Crew
of teh 
ship, so they will need spaces to live somewhere onboard.. 
So now the Fighter with it crew is ...	  CS 44
     Now a 31 CS for "Hanger and Launch gear, Resupply Gear, and other
need 
doesn't sound bad.

Just a Lurker here on the Digest, But maybe I have a good idea or 2..
