1) TO MANY WEAPONS PER MASS!
2) To cheap.
3) Would drastically alter the game balence. (consider if you will,
   facing 25 of these while sitting in the slightly better than 
   average battledreadnaught.	Not a pretty picture is it!) 
4) Humans have a limit of thrust 8.  (Presumes Speed=Thrust)
   (Presumes 1 thrust = 1 G)
5) The main weapon is just too ugly and to small.

By for now,
