And that's the point - they're fiat. What the guy says. You don't have to worry about conforming to rules until the rules are written.

You figure out the rules you want your space battles to follow. Then you design a drive to follow the rules you want. Period.
Yes, but once the rules are written, other people (the players, other GMs using your setting, et cetra) need to work within them, hence discussions like this.
