[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 7947427, member: 6779310"] Sky Galleons. Altitude page 43. Plus a little algebra. You're not groking how it works. It lists it all as (Hull Size) * 100 / (total weight) Total weight is the sum of installed components. Per page 43 LV = 100·HS/tons LV 1.2+ is VHigh LV 1-1.1999 is high LV 0.8-0.999 is medium LV 0.6-0.7999 is low. LV<0.6 is cannot lift. Doing a little algebra LV = 100 · HS/tons we can solve for tons for a given lift. 0.6 = 100 · HS/tons Since we want the ratio per HS, we enter that as 1 0.6 = 100 · 1 / tons now, move the tons across and simplify the multiplication 0.6 · tons = 100 · tons/tons 0.6 · tons = 100 Move the 0.6 across to isolate the variable tons = 100/0.6 tons = 166.666 Note that the 0.6 was the Lift Value. we can restate the work as LV=100 · HS/Tons LV · Tons = 100 · HS Tons = 100 · HS/LV so we can work out all of them tons = HS · (100/LV) And extracting it as a ratio, we just use HS 1 It's there, you just didn't grasp the math intuitively. As for the swiftrunner... It's got the same 300 tons used... but being HS 4, is £21k. And so, for LV... LV = 100 · 4 / 300 LV = 400/300 LV = 1.333 Max altitude is very high. Now it can carry some cargo... we need LV 1.2 or more so, we use the ratio we found earlier for very high, under 83 tons per HS, 4 HS, 332 tons maximum load, of which the ship and crew is 300... So she can carry 32 tons cargo (or added weapons) and still hit very high. [/QUOTE]
