Well, fortunately, there are only 3 SV designs in FB2 that can do that
(the 3 biggest) :-)
Less fortunately, All but 4 (the 4 smallest) of the FB2 SV can reach
ranges of 48mu or more, and there are very few non-SV ships with this
kind of range (err... Komarov SDN and... nothing else).

OTOH, I'm not totally happy with the 'reduced range' bands for SV,
largely for aesthetic reasons :-)

No problem with the changed power pool allocations.
