Edited further. The entry incorrectly lumped escape pods, life boats, and aerospace fighters into the small craft category. Since AT2 and TR:3057 (if not earlier - I'd have to check BattleSpace), Small Craft have been narrowly defined as shuttles of 100 to 200 tons noted for their heat-expansion fusion drives, which allows them to use strategic fuel consumption rules. Fighters and other small vessels like escape pods are outside that ("...small craft represent a myriad of vessels of every type and size not covered by aerospace fighters or DropShips.") See pg20 and pg24 of Total Warfare for the current definitions; I can dig up the references in older books if you'd like. Finally, I included "space station" as one of BT's spacecraft - BT's space stations are highly mobile, as their stationkeeping drive allows 0.1G maneuvering like a JumpShip. --[[User:Cray|Cray]] 04:15, 19 May 2009 (PDT)

I think the reason they were lumped in is because [[DropShips and JumpShips]] and both TRO:3057's list the escape pod and life boat in their sections on Small Craft. [[User:Cyc|Cyc]] 06:09, 19 May 2009 (PDT)
