RE: [FT] Thrust capacity

With the new design system, I'd say you could have whatever thrust you
can physically fit into a hull, provided your accel compensators are up
to scratch.  But for a warship, you very quickly hit a diminishing
return or run out of space completely.

EG:
Mass: 20
Hull: very weak; 2
FTL: 2
MD: 16 ; 16
-----------------
Hope the compensators don't fail...........

Are we officially limited to Thrust 8 now?  I will put on the web my own
Thrust 10 designs regardless, but am curious as to the Official
Word(tm).
(No, they don't really have a payload to speak of).
