Some of you may not have noticed yet, but light engines are about 80% of a standard engine. If you thought that sounded odd you'd be right. According to Sarna it's supposed to be 75% to be exact.

Designed to mimic the compact profile and light weight of Clan-tech XL Engines, the Light Fusion Engine weighs only 75% of a standard Fusion Engine. While not as dramatic as the 50% weight saving of an XL Engine
I can understand that they'd need to round up, but that shouldn't take up an additional 5% (especially after doing the math). An easy example being the Standard 195 Engine it's 10 tons being lowered to 8t with the current metrics, where as it should be 7.5t. While that doesn't sound like much, let's up the engine. If it were a Standard 375 Engine weighing 45.5t with the Light Engine currently 36 tons. According to Sarna however, it should be 34/34.5 tons if rounded down/up.
So, what does everyone think of how Light Engines are currently being implemented?
