The drawback is that only the color text can tell bioships from
metal and composite ones. The hull is a bit heavier, the armor
is a bit lighter (but non-rigid), and it regenerates slowly
(but too slow to matter in space combat).
Perhaps the bioship lacks conventional controls, so the crew are
truly passengers without control of their fate, but you could
just as easily write a metal ship that way.
It does justify some designchoices though. With components that are
grown, prices might scale differently, not ideally grown components might
be commonly be available for very low prices, there might be some absolute
bounderies on sizes, there might be some correleations (the larger the
ship the more/less armour it has).
If you develop fitting restrictions, you can have rational explainations
for designs, where usually one would ask "what drugs did the designer
take, and where can i get some?".
