- For big Naval ships (i.e. up to 300 tons) why couldn't you place more
- than one engine in them? Why not use one engine per 300 tons as a rule. The
- fastest this would allow a ship to go is 4/6 (with 3 400 class engines). This
- isn't all that strange considering speeds of ships today. Granted to go that
- fast you will blow about 225 tons or so, but it gives you speed. :) Or in the
- mean time just look at dropship design and try to interpolate.
