What does KT really mean??

[Hydraa]

You are forgetting the main point of the weight. The beings that board a transport are dehydrated (or deliquidfied depending on what there main liquid is). This allows for a great sazings of weight and mass.

Just hope that the loadmasters keep the residues separated properly.

Dehydrated? Ouch. That has to be uncomfortable... no wonder colonists are Jubilant at getting off the boat.

I started this topic just to see how it would turn out..kinda funny how it began with an abbreviation to dehydrated colonists..hehe.

A 15kt fighter would be bigger than an Aegis destroyer (550' long, +50' wide). Now that's a huge fighter. A Nimitz class carrier weights about 100kt, this is an escort in the game.

Because of the incongruenties that arrise from using only one system of measurment, I picture a kt as an artificial game unit and leave it at that.

To be honest I haven't given it much thought. I just took it to be I artifical unit of messure in this game and left at that. Kinda like simoleons(sp) in SimCity 3000 or Units(or whatever I end calling it) in a game I wrote.

My advice don't worry about it that too much and just enjoy the game

The weight of an object has nothing to do with size. It has to do with the stuff the object is made out of and everything packed into it. If I build a 4 story 4000 sq ft building out of paper and put nothing in it, it will wieght a lot less then the same building maded out of steel and packed with gastanks, food, people, defense systems, computers,etc.
