Notes:
Part of the Red Banner Fleet. Unlike many nations the Martians regard cruisers
as second class ships unable to stand in the line of battle and prefer to use
them as patrol ships. However on many occasions they have sailed with the battle
fleet and given good account of themselves.
Examples of ships in class: Sukhoi, Polikarpov, Tupolev, Beriev
[Data note: Added "(Military)" to the Hull line - this record had no Military/Merchant type suffix at all. Recovered from its declared Crew (4) matching the Military Crew Factor formula (ceil(78/20) = 4), not the Merchant one (ceil(78/50) = 2).]
[Data note: Mass corrected from 78 to 83 - the declared Mass did not
cover the ship's own listed components (Hull, drives, weapons, etc.). Note that
83 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 266 to 284 - 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).]
