Point well taken. I hate them too.

This isn't the abuse that I was fearing, though nice job on the
illustration.

What I'm worried about is an "eggshell" mounting three missiles, say:

Mass 20 Missile Boat:

Fragile Hull, 2 MASS, 4 POINTS
FTL Drives, 2 MASS, 4 POINTS
Thrust 3, 3 MASS, 6 POINTS
1 FireCon, 1 MASS, 4 POINTS
3 EMP Missiles, 12 MASS, 36 POINTS

54 POINTS

Three of these babies can take down our SDN "in a vacuum," at 162
points.
