The problem is one of balance. If a relatively cheap weapon is 
assured to dispose of a ship of up to 40 MASS or so, then there's a 
problem with the cost of the weapon.

Even a ship with 2 crew has only a 1 in 6 chance of killing the 
bugger before it's cast adrift. And potentially worse from a campaign 
standpoint, that ship is then "spoils of war."
