Re: [GZG] FT Interface Craft & what CS for FB ship [TOBECLASSIFIED] [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

I've been thinking about this over the weekend.

One of the reasons for the 1 mass = 25 CS, is that the FTFB fluff has 1
mass = 100 tonnes.
I've realised that this also requires some small changes to the MT
table:

Class 5 vehicle = 20CS (25 CS with crew)
Class 4 vehicle = 16 CS (20 CS with crew)
Class 3 vehicle = 12 CS (15 CS with crew)
Class 2 vehicle = 8 CS (10 CS with crew)
Class 1 vehicle = 4 CS (5 CS with crew) 
+50% for "hot launch" ability
One man (normal accomodation) = 1 CS [= 4 ton = traveller rules]
One man (cryosleep) = 1/4 CS

	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.
