Ships above class 4 require class 5+ expensive spaceborne infrastructure to be built; modular design fails, high material and cultural risk, effectivity loss. Deemed heretical. Transport ships of any size can be produced by normal means; negligible for combat. Resource-ineffective Civ-X4s to be fought by Tractor Beams, swarms.
