a note, dropships are only on page 42 of FB1 and then only in the
Assault Transport. I wish more time would have been given to them. Maybe
in "More Thrust Fleet Book". :)

  Another 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..
