I was just looking through the refit rules in High Guard and I realized that you cannot hotrod your starship. By game rules, it seems to be impossible. "Those items covered under a major refit cannot be increased in size but they can be reduced." HG pg. 72. Hot-rodding is all about putting larger engines in stock starships.
Doesn't this rule contradict the write up of the Far Trader? "While normally a modified free trader, the far trader has a series of modifications that have become accepted as standard and many free traders are either modified to this specification or are built this way from new. The far trader swaps cargo space and low berths for a larger jump drive and fuel tank, allowing it to reach systems a basic free trader cannot travel to." Core Rulebook pg. 196.
Why are rules being made that make it impossible to modify ships as stated in their description?
