Re: [GZG] FT Rounding

Hi, Sam.

You need to round each individual system to the nearest whole number
before
adding together.
So your MD = 4 mass (4.4 rounded to nearest integer) and your FTL = 2
mass
(2.2 rounded to nearest integer) giving a grand total of 6 mass.
Because of this you can save a few mass (especially on smaller ships) by
taking advantage of rounding; however it's a bit munchkin if you take it
too
far.

Hi all,

How does rounding of mass when designing FT ships officially work?

e.g., if I have a mass 22 ship, with thrust 4 and FTL drives, this comes
to
4.4 mass for the thrust, and 2.2 for the FTL.

I add all percentage masses together (to give, e.g., 6.6) then round any
fractions up. Designs I've seen on the Star Ranger site gives a total
mass
of 6 for the above example however (I'm guessing both have been rounded
down, to give 4 + 2).

An example in the Fleet Book rounds halves up, but doesn't appear to say
what to do with smaller fractions.

Thanks.
