Functional Concept

Units have a set of functional spaces:

• Weapons
• Protection
• Engineering
• Computers
• Misc

The number of spaces in each would depend on the base unit type, aptitudes, etc. Going over would cost extra. Different components may take up 1 or more spaces.

Equipment would be straightforward and represent what is mounted. For example:

• Flak (size 1W)
• Light Guns (size 1W)
• Medium Guns (size 3W)
• Heavy Guns (size 4W)
• Armor (size 1P)
• Deflectors (size 1P)
• Barriers (size 1P)
• Engines (varies by ship size, E)
• Enhanced FC (size 1C)
• Big Radar (size 3C)
• Hangars (size 3M)

This gives scope for designs with more flair that just '+1 guns +1 armor' while (hopefully) not overloading the design process.
