Which reduces acceleration to 4 Gs from 6 Gs. I see the obvious benefits 
though. Now depth can be controlled using CG instead f RX thrusters 
which takes much less power. I won't use it for this design, but it 
would make a very nice opposition craft. Reduce the TL to GTL11, which 
will reduce the top acceleration even more, but not by too much, I 
think, and in return get a SDB which can hide under water for hours 
using energy banks.
