Hello,

In FB1, a "Fragile" hull used 10% of its TMF, rounded to the nearest number,
for hull boxes.

In FB2, a ship must have "a minimum of 10% of the total ship mass"
instead. This indicates that all fractions of 10% rounds up - eg, a
TMF11 ship would need at least 2 hull boxes since 1 is less than 10% of 11.

Personally I don't have a problem with designs rounding these 10% down rather
than up, but I clean forgot to take this up with Jon during the FB2
playtesting. Jon, any comments?

Later,

> Hello,

A valid point; I think we go with the standard rounding rule, ie: 0.49 and
below round down, 0.5 and above round up, but with the proviso that no ship
may have less than 1 hull box (!). So any ship of MASS 14 or below MAY have
just 1 hull box if you wish, MASS15 must have two or more.
