Captains obsessed with red tape, doctrine and officialism aren't enough then?
There's nowt stopping corporate empires becoming bureaucracies too you know, although I think in this case (as today) corporations control government rather than represent it.

About the tortional stress issue. I seem to recall seeing a shot of one of the cruisers from behind in one of the eps. (I don't recall which one, sorry). It looks like they have engines both at the bottom wingy portion of the ship, and two near the top of the towers, thus evening out the thrust. I just remember thinking, hey cool, engines on the top... or something to that effect.
I'll see If I can find which episode that shot is in.
Hack the planet!
