Well, I'd say raise that to at least 25% - otherwise it invalidates some
of the FB2 designs.

Personally, this does less to fix the 'giant SV cheese ship' problem
than you think - at say, 3,000 points, even with power limited to 25%,
the giant has a scary combination of manouvre capability and weapon
range, and will probably have huge reserves of biomass as well.

But then, huge superships of any design are a problem.
