I avoid the odd ton ships by building the ship components and then
calculating what the tonnage must be to support those components.
 2xComponents for FTL ships; or 4xComponents/3 for system ships.  It
helps
using a computer to design, because it can then do all the calculations
and
give a running total of the ship mass as you add equipment.
