The problem I see with this approach is that, as with the split between
cinematic and vector movement, there's a need to change designs to take
advantage of the ruleset in use. The more optional rules you have
(making an exception for weapons that can be defended against by
"normal" defences, like Grasers), the more you fragment the idea of what
"Full Thrust" actually means; the less useful a shiplist such as the one
at cygnusx1.info, or a Fleet Book, becomes; and so on.
