While it is possible under the rules to build a mass 2 non-FTL 
missile boat. I feel that this is streaching the rules past the 
breaking point. In this desing the hull, engine, sensors, and 
crew mass *zero*. I would probably refuse to play against this
design.

Mass 3 non-FTL gun boat is still streaching it (2.25 mass) using
only .25 tons for hull, engine, sensors, and crew. But I would
probably allow this. (18 points). 

Jon, for FT3 perhaps you will add a mass rating for crew and 
controls (5%-10% round up)?
