I would round to the nearest hull, up or down.
Remember, too, in LLB2, the hull sizes have +/-20% built in.
So, a 400 ton hull can be used for anything from 320-480 tons.

LBB2 is awesome. Use Range Bands instead of measuring mm, maybe throw in the CT sensor rules ane maybe the new Book 2 rules, and you're ready to go.Originally posted by Cymew:
Now I only have to modify the to-hit and damage system to suit me. Soon I'll be using LBB2...
LBB2 can be a simulationist game (strictly a board game of space warfare), or it can be an rpg-centric game, focused on role-playing.
It's very useable either way.
I think you'll dig it after you run a game or two using it.

The +/- 10-20% is a leeway allowed in the drawing of deckplans only, not the actual design constraints. So a 400ton hull can still only have 400tons of fixtures in the design but when drawing the deckplans as long as your total ship falls within that range it is acceptable.
The 440ton corsair you're thinking of is the result of MT designing iirc and is fine in that rule set. Why the designer decided to go with such an odd hull size I have no clue, unless it was a similar misunderstanding of the deckplan leeway rule.
LBB 2 design rules would require a 440ton hull to use the 600ton line for drive performance selection because hulls are rounded up and there is no 500ton hull. Or in other words it would be really silly to design a 440ton ship with LBB 2 rules.
And for the record I think the leeway encourages lazy and unrealistic deckplans. I can get much closer with no real effort and I've seen official designs that really stretch that lazy fudge factor beyond sense.
