Putting in a bench or bucket seat takes 150kg, but removing a bench seat
frees 200kg while removing a bucket seat frees only 100kg.

The text for bench seats says that a single bench seat can hold two (or
three if you squeeze) passengers weighing 200kg. However, installing a
bench seat reduces load by only 150kg.

Something seems to be wrong with these numbers...

Yeah, I noticed this too. Between Rigger 2 and Rigger 3 either the table
changed, or the description changed, but whoever changed them forgot to
alter the other, too. I think it's a lot saner if you go with the
descriptions, rather than the tables. ie, change the table values to be:

Design Specifications
Load Reduction
Standard Bench/Bucket Seat: 200/100 kg

Customisation Specifications
Load Reduction
Standard Bench/Bucket Seat: 200/100 kg

Adam and Rob were working on a R3 errata, so hopefully this will be cleared
up in that.
