Okay, it bugs me that people keep saying the Tigress is Jump-4, yes I know there is a misprint in the text section that says jump-4, but the USP is V5368J4, clearly J-3, and the fuel 190k-40k for PN leaves 150K or J-3. Ta
Take a Pen, fix the misprints in S9 and get over it.
Actually, Errata 07 decided to fix it by upping fuel tankage to 240,000 dTons - which of course leads to the thing being more than 42,000 dTons over size. Me, I agree - cut it back to J3. Nice thing about that option is it gives you 10,000 dT of cargo space, which is room for a regiment and its vehicles.
This is what I get running Tigress through the HG Shipyard. No surprise, the crew and cost numbers don't match up even though the ship details are identical:
