not as specialized as 10,000 to 1; on a weight for weight basis small ships should be just as usefull as big ships; although they couldn't got toe to toe without a larger wieght, they can run circles around the larger ships.

also, that's 180 ships divided by 9 ship classes, in which case the baseship comes out at over 9000.

yes, people could blatantly cheat by not using an engine mount on the larger ship sizes; the engine mount for the largest baseship is a little bigger than 1500, the size of the smallest baseship. however, i think the people i've met on the forums are smart enough to realize that cheating isn't winning. and for those that do cheat, since engines are a large part of the ship, 33% at default movement rate 11-2, it wouldn't be to hard on PBW to see if someone's cheating, even if your not researching the same, you can load up a max tech game and try to build their ship.

unless you can see mounts in enemy ship design's. i don't know if you can.
