How does that "size overhead" thing work?

The "difference" cost increases the more difference in size the two ships have, whether larger or smaller.

I think he was looking for an equation.
The wiki claims that the size overhead is equal to 1/10th the difference in size, which is unfortunately lacking in units.  At a guess, that might be 1 BP per 10 tons.

Yes, a 1 HS size difference costs 5BP.

Yes, a 1 HS size difference costs 5BP.

But 1 HS is 50 tons, not 10 tons? Unless you were stating to disagree with the previous point.

He wasn't.  I was suggesting that the cost was 1 BP per 10 tons, which translates to 5 BP per HS/50 tons.  He confirmed that.

Ah, shoot, sorry about that, I misread.
