Alternative Threshold Arrays.

A point came up when looking at SBFS where the damage tracks can be of
differeing geometries dependant on technology [In that Criticals which
are a near equivalent to Threshold checks occur when you loose a row
of hull, so a ship with 10 rows of 2 hits has a tendancy to wreck much
more than one with 2 rows of 10 hits, even though both cantake the
same damage before loosing hull integrity.].

As an alternative for an alien race having 7 rows rather than the
usual 4 and taking 6+ threshold checks at the end of each. Is that
balanced and can we work out how to fiddle that side of things to
build desiign philosopies into FT ships?
