You could do "fragile hull" easily enough and a merchant could
buy Thrust 1 (or possibly "Thrust 0.5"), but there's no mechanism
for differentiating between Milspec and civilian FTL although
Canon clearly states there is a difference.

In Alarishi space, the Imperial Fleet requests that people
refrain from using Beam-3's or higher, or salvo missiles.  Some
people install them anyway.  Jack Old Ron is an example, but he's
noted as being a little, um, emphatic about his privacy.  Anyway,
if you install them, you're listed as a navigational hazard.

all of the above, I imagine
