Hi all, does anyone have handy the ship types and sizes chart from the
original FullThrust? I am designing my alt universe stuff using the old
size/classification chart but with all the new rules.

Thanks,

There's a generally-recognised expansion factor
if you want to translate FT2 designs for FB1 or later; I think you need to
increase mass by 100% or thereabouts.

The codes I've listed are not official GZG ones and represent a mixture of
conventions; if nothing else they can act as bait to get the list talking.
