[Data note: Crew corrected from the original 5 to 7 - the Fleet Book
Crew Factor rule (1 CF per 20 MASS for military ships) gives 7 for
a mass-135 warship; 5 matched neither the Military nor Merchant
formula. Original record preserved as
_originals/original-Akula_class_Battleship_PRM_135.txt]
[Data note: Mass corrected from 135 to 144 - the declared Mass did not
cover the ship's own listed components (Hull, drives, weapons, etc.). Note that
144 is not simply the old components total: MD/FTL/Screen mass are all
percentage-of-mass formulas, so raising Mass also raises those, requiring an
iterative solve to find the Mass where components exactly match declared Mass
again. Verified formula-by-formula against the original 1998 tool - every
component matches its own arithmetic exactly, so this is a genuine discrepancy
in the original submission, not a parser or calculation bug. Raised to match
its own components rather than altering any weapon/system to fit the old figure.]
[Data note: Cost corrected from 449 to 476 - a direct consequence of the
Mass correction above (Cost includes 1 point per MASS as its base component, so
raising Mass raises Cost by the same amount).]
