Indeed. Perhaps the book could've been prefaced with a realism warning, and suggested that the reader/GM who just wants "whoosh pew pew" spaceships should first look at p31 before designing any, and turn on half of the cinematic switches.

I'm not bagging the book or the Spaceships line, I got a lot of enjoyment out of building the spaceships that showed up in our sci-fi/fantasy game, but I had to read and absorb the whole design system before the pieces fell together.
