Because that leaves me with, on a size 5 ship, a minimum of 4 thrust. 
:)  You can't just "Buy Thrust 1 drives" for a small ship.  

And besides, Thrust 1 is (in many of the unofficial attempts to put in a
scale for FTII) equivelant to 1G worth of thrust.  That's overkill. 
That's like buying a racecar to drive to the grocery store 2 blocks
down.  I'm thinking .01G or whatever.
