Hello Johannes,

realistically, the two arms or the two legs of a character don't 
have the same strength, but for convenience the character has an
unified ST score. But then ST has a relatively coarse graduation
in the human range, and "right arm ST 10.2, left arm ST 9.9" 
wouldn't really make a difference if you round to the nearest 
whole number.

In the Vehicles system, there is a difference between 100 tons 
of thrust and 99 tons of thrust, however.

That could be very dependent on the setting. Are bioships 
useless until they mature, and keep their stats until they
break down, or do they start small and grown -- but how long?
Infinitely? And how do they get the material to grow? Do you 
have to feed them?
