The TUG will often pull a train of 14x Cargo Pods, giving a combined performance of 0.0667G/0.378mps (by simple division), or 0.0667G/0.267mps using the Rocket Equation.

In dangerous areas, one or more of the Cargo Pods may be replaced with a Defensive Pod, which uses hidden weapons batteries, and is indistinguishable from the standard Cargo Pods from the outside.

Scaling down the Weapons Batteries and Fusion PP to SM+6; Cost $6.05M, with 40 tons Cargo


My own addition, not part of the standard FA Product, is a Fuel Pod version, used to improve performance for those long trains

HMT-555 Fuel Pod
Replace the Cargo Holds in the standard HMT-555 with Fuel Tanks, holding 75tons of additional Hydrogen fuel for the TUG. Cost $640K

A train of 14 Pods with 1 Fuel Pod, improves performance (using the Rocket Equation) to 0.732mps
A train of 14 Pods with 2 Fuel Pods, improves performance (using the Rocket Equation) to 1.222mps

I hadn't thought about it, but the bonus DV from having a large number of fuel tanks should be calculated somehow using the total mass of a ship's load if using external clamps... Will have to come up with better formula...

That's what the Rocket Equation does - RogerBW explained it here in response to a previous question of mine on how to calculate performance for Clamped vessels.
Assuming I've done the calculation correctly, the figures from the 'Rocket Equation' account for the full mass of the connected vessels (assuming full cargo load too), and the full fuel mass.

Another possibility would be to consider the whole 'train' as a single larger SM vessel.
