Making it only useful for larger ships. A primary part of this is to
make it more useful for smaller ships and less the larger you get, so
that around 80 or so mass you get the break even point.

I'm about to head out on a trip and won't be back till about the 22nd.
I'll try to run some numbers and actually come up with a workable system
to repost when I return.

As I said, this system would be wildly out of touch with reality until
it actually got worked on :)
