The Ubiquitous Type A & B Gravity thruster with Fusion Power Plant

The type A & B Maneuver Drive and Fusion Power Plant Sets are manufactured and sold all over the Imperium and in some neighboring polities. Their popularity derives from their ease of maintenance, availability of parts, and the ability to "tune" the drive for different hull sizes. The following is to show the various performance values for the different hull sizes that the drive-sets can be installed into. (The type A M-drive with fusion power plant displaces 6dt and costs 12Mcr. for TL12-14; the Type B drive-set  displaces 10dt and costs 24Mcr., TL12-14.)

Hull Size, Thrust Rating Type A, %Hull Volume Type A, %Hull Volume Type B.

200dt, 1.00G, 0.03, 0.050
100dt, 2.00G, 0.06, 0.100
95dt, 3.00G, 0.063, 0.105
90dt, 3.00G, 0.067, 0.111
80dt, 3.25G, 0.075, 0.125
70dt, 3.50G, 0.086, 0.143
60dt, 3.75G, 0.100, 0.167
50dt, 4.00G, 0.120, 0.200
45dt, 4.50G, 0.133, 0.222
40dt, 5.00G, 0.150, 0.250
35dt, 5.50G, 0.171, 0.286
30dt, 6.00G, 0.200, 0.333

The 30dt size hull is the smallest size for which the Type A drive can be tuned.
Tunable type B drives double the thrust values above.
