Short of concocting some convoluted rule, not sure if you can.

I've always been of the 'reasonable' mindset (hell, I think it's
reasonable,
compared to some of the powergamer-types I play with ;-) and this has
worked
well in any scenarios I've pre-generated. My powergamer friends have had
a
good time playing in them, but put them on their own...and they tend to
max
things out, going for the optimum highest-efficiency death-dealing
vessel
they can. They do this in all their games where they are permitted to
design their own stuff (they've even made forays into re-designing the
SFB
series of ships - as if *that* needs to be done!).

I like the rules as they are, but maybe an *optional* rule to the effect
of what you cite above.

(ya know, we keep adding 'optional rules' and sooner or later the
rulesbook
is just going to be one big optional rule :-/ )
