RE: [GZG]SUS-Sa'vasku [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

The problem with this system is that there is no efficiency of mass in
using it.

1 biomass + 1 power = 1 carapace

Both will absorb 1 pt of damage.  If you're using enough carapace to
protect the biomass, its already stripped to the minimum you need.

I would suggest at least a 2:1 repair rate (maybe 3:1, but would need
more thought about cost).

Endocrine System
Mass: 1 per 5 carapace
Biomass used: 1 per 2 carapace
Repair Pool: 2 power per carapace
