Frigate Design, corrected

Subject: Frigate Design, corrected

Just found a typo under Defenses: the Sandcaster Turrets are crewed, as is
the meson screen generator. Here's the corrected stats.

Also, several weeks ago somebody asked for an example of how the damage
tables are constructed. I recorded exactly how I went about doing it here,
so if you'll e-mail me, I can give you one example.

Notes
-----
Fuel scoops (2363m3 per hour = 50% of full load), fuel
     purification machinery (4.726MW) requires 36 hours for a full
     load of 4726m3
1) This ship is strictly a military space vessel. While it is
   streamlined for planetary landings, it does not have
   contragravity to allow it to hover. It spends as little time in
   the atmosphere as possible.
2) G-Rating is 6G. TL-12 g-compensators are only good to 3G;
   however, the thrust axis is aligned with the "up" direction of
   the ship. Thus, the crew can handle 4G's, and simply feel their
   own weight. At 5G's, crew in workstations are unaffected, and
   others (damage control), suffer +1 DiffMod. At 6Gs, workstation
   crew are at +1 and others are at +2.
3) The only deviations from the "standard" design sequence are:
  * I adopted the TL*50 limit on laser energy from the TML
  * I didn't understand the logic behind forcing bays to
    specific dimensions, so I ignored that when I designed the lasers
  * I ignored the requirement to recalculate G-Rating based on
    mass if the mass was greater than 15t/m3
4) Design dated May 6, 1995 using original version of FF&S (haven't
   yet applied all of the errata)
