This won't immediately impact FGC since ground forces aren't being converted to equipment tables yet, but it will be pertinent to the structure of the sheet that I'm now finalizing.
Basically, some factions have different numbers of fighters between their naval and ground forces. (Steel Vipers, I'm looking at you!). I can accomodate this on the sheet, but it may mean more paperwork. Basically, I can set up separate Ground and Naval ASF equipment tables, but if I do so it will mean twice as many entries to make when you fill in your tables and twice as many to keep tabs on afterwards.
For the Clans, this kinda/sorta would fit into the whole front line/second line deployment setups, so it might actually be a good thing from a realism perspective.
So basically the question is: less paperwork or more flexibility?
Respond quick, as the timer is ticking.
Just in case it was not understood, the only difference in the Vipers is the numbers of craft.

Yeah, the whole "second line/front line" idea kind of came to me as I was writing. And honestly, looking at how few Clan ships really support the 15-ship formations and still keep their full capacity, I suspect you may end up setting to increments of 5 for maximum flexibility -- your choice of course.
One of the separate votes is really a vote against using tables for ground units. ;) We've got all our ground formations specified out by point weight already. We're also way off from the RATs with all the equipment available.
There's also the fact that it's almost impossible to find a MM opponent with all that's going on so it could be a lot of work for very little impact. ;) (I'm not a fan of the naval tables either with most of our flotillas already being spec'd out ;) )
