This could get long.  Some example stats follow.  Anything in '''bold''' has a defined effect but I'm too lazy to write out how it works just yet.  Trust me on this.

Component Space is a holistic measure of how much 'stuff' can be fitted inside of a mobile suit.  Likewise, External Carriage is what's bolted on the outside or held in the machine's hands.

Growth Factor is how much additional space you get as you 'level up' your machine; machines with 0 growth levels are generally fairly bargain-basement models, older types that are distinctly inferior, with more sophisticated (or simply larger!) machines having 1, 2 or more expansions.

Craft Construction Test Builds

Craft Bodies

Craft are designed slightly differently from warships; instead of simply having Spaces, they have both Spaces and Power. This is because Craft are much more size-constrained than ships; having a powerplant with the output of a miniature star doesn't mean you can dual-wield 2000mm hyper mega particle cannons.

Body Expansions physically increase the size of the craft, enabling more stuff to be fitted inside the frame. Body expansions will progressively increase the size of the Craft.
External Carriage is hot-swappable items, normally munitions. On aircraft it generally takes the form of pylon-mounted weapons, whereas mecha usually have one or more hand-carried weapons.
Power is outputted by the Craft's onboard powerplant and is consumed by various items. Power is routed to any attached item, be it internal or external. Rules may exist to de-activate items in order to activate others. (expect this to only be available for 'roleplaying' scenarios)
