It makes thematic sense.

But its not a fair game.

Games are supposed to be Fair. Games are supposed to be Fun.

If a game is to be Fun, while not being fair, then that is something that has to be agreed on beforehand, and not something you can just meet in a Random-Draw

Tournament.

It would have to just mess up deployment for the second player but give them a huge advantage some how. Or maybe the Interdictor ship is worth double points including upgrades. I'm sure there is a way to make it fair.
