Besides electrification and/or other alternative power sources extremely likely will lead back to LMP1 esq technology war. The only thing these rules lead is balance of performance and complaining and sandbagging.

It is the future, and I agree. But when powered ships came along, sailing remained as a sport, it just became irrelevant to ship design and production.
