Eh, that's my point: The current system does not produce results
I'd like to see, thus IMHO it needs to be changed to include mass (or 
work on a mass only bases -- heck, that's almost the case anyway, most 
systems already follow the 3pts=1mass formula).

Should extra arcs take mass, it's not a question of simple throwing in 
a few more points. It becomes a question of what you can fit in the
hull.
