Just be wary of the fact that for "pick-up games" (i.e. not part of a
scenario of campaign) that this can be potentially unbalancing as
they're
not paying for FTL and so can pack on more weapons for their mass
whereas
the FTL capable ships are paying for something that doesn't really help
them
in game.
