Changing mass isn't your solution, the simple fact is you don't have a viable solution. It changes mass on the fly which means it flies through the air when someone shoots it with a pistol while it's turning in place. Easier to just say "well crap that does look kinda stupid doesn't it?" and make it not look stupid.
Why argue anyway? Even you have to admit it kinda looks dumb.

FTL is not possible, unfortunately. Or at the very, very least we won't see even the groundwork theory for thousands of years. And weight has no meaning outside of gravity, however mass almost certainly does, E = mc^2 for example.
