You could always try the system I use when playing in the
Robotech/Macross
universe.  I devide all weapon systems counts by 10, rounding up to the 
nearest whole number.  There are some real monster ships in this genre
and this was the only way I could think of doing this effectivly, and
still
have a ship that you could fit on paper! :)

Don't worry about the mass or cost, just build it according to the true
design of the ship.
