Subject: [FT] ship design question
I was designing a LAC for a senario, and had a question- TMF=10 COST=? WEAPONS=1arc c bat pulsar, 1x PDS, 1x F,Con, 1x SMR HULL=2 FTL=NON SCREENS=x0 THRUST=??? What would be the thrust for such a ship, would it be 10 (0.2 mass x5) or would 14 be possible (0.2 mass x7 =1.4, rounded off to 1mass)? Of course, you could have a hull of 1, and a thrust of either 20, or 24, depending on the above.

It depends on your scale. For HH I created them as glorified fighters (at 48 pts per squadron!), as my DDs were in the mass 50 range. http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/ft/honor.htm#LAC The ship you have below would be thrust 2. (1 mass = 10% of mass 10, at 1 thrust per 5% mass).
