From the few players i chat with while getting set up for my weekly HOTAC games, one of the comments i often hear, is why more ships don't have a 'no-move' option. So far the only ship i see with it (IN A 1e sense) is the Lambda.

Not really a rules question.

From a game balance perspective because too many stops are uninteresting and offer high ps ships very strong options.

From a flavour perspective because whilst all ships have repulsors to hover most have to have the engines on in flight. Cutting to repulsors would stop you for good and is only used for take off and landing.

Also 2e uses a lot more stops.
