As far as I can tell he's using the technique of giving it a weak
hull and using the remainder to buy armour.  If you play with it
a bit you find that this makes it significantly harder to get the
first threshold, harder for the second, slightly more difficult for
the third, and the same for the fourth.  I have taken to designing
everything bigger than an escort cruiser this way.

I wouldn't count on it.

I definately agree with this.  I would prefer not to see any
"theoretical"
weapons.
