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! Later,
