Standards in FT

For the sake of discussion, what are the standard conversion units from Full
thrust units to "real" space? 1 Mass unit =??? tons 1 CC =?? Volume 1
Measuring unit = distance?

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!

There's no such thing, as mentioned in the Fleet Book. I suppose there's a set
of standard conversion rules for the "official" background, but Jon mentions
in the Fleet Book that there is NO standard for these. This allows you to use
FT for ships as big as Berserkers or Iain Banks' Culture. In these
backgrounds, a NAC superdreadnought might only fit if it's designed as a ship
of <= mass 16, and destroyers are simply represented as a squadron of
"fighters."
