I assume that higher TL fusion reactors use gravity manipulation. That's
why the power/weight (and power/volume) ratio improves so much at TL13+
and TL15+. Using TNE's rules there's also a huge reduction in minimum
volume at TL13+, so that's the TL I generally assume the use of
gravitics in reactors in a really major way starts.
