BTW, Gurth, I hope ya don't mind me mucking around with the formating of
your message so it looks nice :)

Uhm, Actually, R2 says that 100kg Load "cost" for a seat reflects 100 kg
alotment for the passenger so By-the-book, the seat itself is wieghtless
(doesn't make sense but that's the rules) so you just find a passenger
that can fit within the load restrictions of the vehicle (which prolly
means someone with a body of 1 or 2) or find a person and make them fit
