Cannibalism (and yes it is on topic)

Why can't Sa'Vasku ships eat each other for Bio Mass?

One Sa'Vasku ship can launch drone pods which can then be reintegrated
into another Sa'Vasku ship with a drone womb.  Why not cut out the
"middle man" and allow Sa'Vasku ships to eat each other?  Suggested rule
would be that both ships would have to be within 6", on the same course
and speed, and both expend 1 point of power per hull consumed.	There
could also be weapons restrictions, such as no attacks while one
Sa'Vasku ship eats another...
