>For an example, the Utility Pack has a mounting requirement of 2 Torso

>close to the Size 3 large backpack (31 slots).  Now from that
>assumption, it would seem that there could be something like 15 or 15.5
>slots to one mount (or a 3:1) ratio.  It just seems rather silly to me
>that if a Cyborg can mount a specially made rocket launcher (Sentinel)
>and/or other heavy weapons to 2 Torso mounts, that a Junker couldn't
>mount something larger than say a mouse per mounting point.
