Agility Rating?

I was using a spreadsheet to work out the design for a 200-ton free trader that the PC's are bumming around in, and I discovered that I had no idea how to calculate agility for ships. The book gives rules for vehicles, but they are listed in vl's. I tried translating tons-vls, but I ended up with an agility of .2 or something. What is the process? Thanks. :D
 
The formula (actually two subtly different formulas) is right at the end of the section on Power Plants in the design sequence.

In short, each point of agility requires 1 EP per 100 tons of ship.
 
Thanks; it was right there all along. I would like to blame the book (which could probably stand some organizing) but it WAS there, if not obvious.
