I personally don't like this idea, as the FTL really has little
effect on most FT games, so paying such high costs for it seems strange,
the increased mass seems to be more representative of different tech
levels to me. 
In a campaign, of course, FTL provides much more significant advantages
and point cost changes are appropriate.
