Well the RBR and the AF clearly are designed to have "action" features.
These features clearly compromise the design. 6250 was just so cut in
number of parts that there just isn't any way to make a decent ship of
it (not to mention that the no center section ships are just plain hard
to make look good, though 6268 looks acceptable).
