Structural Bracing [Spaceships]

[AlexanderHowl]

Right now, GURPS Spacecraft have very much a 'eggshells with sledgehammers' problem that is not easily fixable with the current rules. I would like to suggest a solution:

Structural Bracing [Hull]: Structural Bracing consists of redundant structural elements, interior armor, emergency systems, etc that increase the ability of spacecraft to survive. Each component of Structural Bracing increases the ST/HP of a spacecraft by 100% and the HT by 1. It also provides the hull section where it is located Injury Tolerance (2), with every component of Structural Bracing beyond the first increasing Injury Tolerance by +1. Cost is equal to that of a Control Room of the same SM.

So, what do you think? Do you think that it would offer a realistic solution to dealing with the 'eggshells with sledgehammers' problem? Do you have other solutions that you want to share?
