There is no actual limit beyond that which you can fit on your ships. It's
possible to design a Thrust-18 ship (if it has a fragile hull and

We had scouts like this. Superior sensors, some EW, and everything else was
drives. Of course, this was with rules where sensors mattered in combat and
knowing what your opponent had could make or break you.

secure storage, it's too heavy for the vehicle.  ;-)
