Should maned small combat crafts be deleted from chartered space?

Let's say that a fighter is defined by acceleration and cockpittization.

Which limits it to a primary hull of fifty tonnes, in accordance to High Guard.

Attach a weapon pod of, say, two hundred tonnes, complete with docking clamp, to it.

Install medium bay weapon system in said two hundred tonne weapon pod.

Adding a weapon pod 4 times the size of the fighter would most likely negate the acceleration that permitted it the definition of fighter

There is one really good reason to use robots in Traveller...

Property damage instead of murder.

Unlike say D&D where your party of adventures can slaughter monsters and take their stuff, before returning to sell their bloodstained loot and then celebrate at the tavern, Travellers might find themselves in legal bother if they gun down people and blow up ships.

However replace sophots with robots, and what might be murder or manslaughter becomes criminal property damage instead.

Just an off-cuff thought.
