I'm wondering if some of the values should be changed in the article "Propulsion Performance Statistics" at http://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/49f6ffc730720
Unless I'm misremembering, in some discussions it has been mentioned that Halo Drives are "extremely rare".
However, the article claims that about 4% of Inner Sphere ships use a Displacement Drive, 6% use a Halo Drive, and 1% are Voidships.
Perhaps it's just a matter of viewpoint, but those values really don't seem particularly "rare" to me.
To me, "very rare" would be more like 1/10000 or even fewer, not 1/17 (6%).
(My apologies for the font size changes. I have not the slightest idea what's causing them nor how to eliminate them. Presumably they have something to do with the new forum software.)
