This works to a point.  I played Silent Death heavily, and they
recognized that the rules governing how torpedoes moved greatly affected
the value of torpedo-laden ships.  The problem was, as options for
torpedo rules proliferated and multiplied, the table of costs for
various ship designs got very cumbersome (Standard, Variable Speed,
Homing, Variable Speed Homing, Tough, Tough Variable Speed, Tough
Homing, Tough Variable Speed Homing, Unjammable, Unjammable Variable
Speed, ...).
