But not convenient enough to be available to any tom, dick and harry.
As for the living being, every weapon has it's ups and downs, no weapon is without weakness. It's only a different weakness for different weapons.

Sometimes, you can get rid of a part because it is the main point of that weapon.
If what sets this ship apart from the other WMD is that child, then removing that part would just make it no different than all the other weapons.
