I had a thought on how to address this, by replacing the DR+HP portion with a formula based on Mass. Something like: Mass ÷ 10 x (1 + dDR ÷ dST)

Blast from the past, but I only just now bought the issue.
I prefer monstrous ships to have a large effect on battle effectiveness.
So I looked for optional / house rules.
Unless I read it wrong, this means for very large ships only mass matters.

My SM +17 TL10 with 1 superscience weapon and rock armor
gives 3m ( 1 + 50/2000) X (1 times 6 times 10)
