Hardpoints

TML message #2612From bundle 213

What is the rule regarding hardpoints on small craft/spaceships?
I know it says that you are only allowed one per 100 tons of craft
volume, but that seems awfully small for me.  Anybody modified this
in their own games?????

Also what is space-worthiness of small vehicles.  The reason I ask
is I was trying to implement some small vehicles to be used to transport
marines (translation: pirates) to a smaller ship for boarding.  The ships
would also be used for additional fire support during boarding actions.

The reason I ask is that I was under the impression that there is some
penalty for ships that do not have standard Manuever drives.  Since
20 tons is the smallest available hull tonnage to have a manuever drive
ships with M-Drives is not an option....

If anybody could help me out and explain this stuff to me please do..
