I love doing real-world vehicles in BT rules, It's always fun to see how close you can get to RL specs. How many seats did you install? MML never shows in the exported file.

Around 56, assuming 2 people per seat with seatbelts and some measure of comfort tech in the 31st century for the kids. Assume this is something you'd find on New Avalon, Luthien, Sian, Atreus, Tharkad for townships etc.

My experience is that MML shows the seat weight included in the chassis/controls mass. 7.2 tons is pretty high for a 15 ton vee.
But as a matter of fact I was quite busy getting potty-trained at the time and had no time for interstellar politics.- ykonoclast

Ah, that explains it... 300 kg should be enough for the band instruments underneath the seats... ;)
