SCUL's THO Ratings
Every ship in the SCUL fleet has been given a THO rating: which stands for thrust, handling, and overall difficulty.
The builder is responsible for determining the THO rating for their ship. Any pilot may request a THO re-evaluation of any ship's THO rating. The rating is based off a pilot of average height, mass, and abilities.
THO rating will determine the number of points a pilot will get on the mission, using the point system formula.
Thrust Rating
This indicates how hard the ship is to pedal. Zero is impossibly sluggish, ten is a spry cheetah.
Examples of Ships with High Thrust Ratings
Examples of Ships with Low Thrust Ratings
Handling Rating
This indicates how hard the ship is to handle. Zero is as stubborn as an overworked mule, ten is as nimble as a dancer.

Overall Difficulty Rating
This is the general difficulty of the ship. Zero is easy, ten is difficult. Sometimes this is largely detrermined by the discomfort level of the rock-hard banana seat.
