Sorry. It should've said "2 boarding factors per Mass allocated to troop
quarters."

The arithmetics are as follows:

* You can't have boarding troops in cryosleep; thus each man needs 4 CS. * 4
men makes one boarding factor (p.7; depends a lot on your background though).
* One Mass of troop area is 50 CS, ie 50/4 = 12.5 men or 50/16 = 3.125
boarding factors.

And since I dislike fractional men and the extra boarding pods should take
some space too, I rounded it down to 2. Note that the boarding rules
_don't_ use the dropships described in the ground combat interface
section!
