Therefore you put guns on, you add mass, even though the guns and their internal components aren't someplace you could otherwise put cargo. You put armor plating on the outside of the ship, you add mass. You fill the cargo hold with commodities, you add mass.
Your ship comes with certain engines that can only move so much mass before turn rate, acceleration, etc would start to suffer, and so your limit is the amount of stuff you can have before that happens.
Hmm interesting theory.
Soo how come is that some transpors can turn faster then GB if they have more mass?
