I really want a break-down of how Ratings work. We've gotten a few comments here and there that hint at it, but nothing solid.

My best guess concerning the ratings for Owl and Ginkui is the quality of the material being worked with. Owl seems to have been made from an intact, healthy kakuhou in comparison to......whatever the hell they got from Noro's husk of a corpse. Based on Noro's infamous appetite, Ginkui probably gave them a lot of trouble in terms of stabilizing it and making it cost-effective. So it's rating may have been lowered by the kakuhou burning through fuel at a high rate, in comparison to Owl.
