"Should have", I suppose.

They are showing up in the ship dealer's screen, but they are hidden on the spacedock screen...

You should be able to drop components into the slot if you remember where it was.

This is probably because there isn't a checkbox under the display options for "Other" or "All"

So far, no. Doesn't even beep if you try to put a non-valid component there.

Re: ship designs boring and too similar
 

I created a "Weapon (Magic)" slot on an abbidon carrier just now (using 1.08).

It did show up fine in the store, and buzzed me when I tried to drop an armor component in the hole where it was.

Re: ship designs boring and too similar
 

That's odd. I just did the same thing- changed a Terran Destroyers weapon(heavy) to weapon (Fighter)

The slot doesn't show up, but it DOES beep.

EDIT: it shows up in the ship purchase screen, but not in the spacedock..

And I missunderstood your post apparently, heh. Yeah, this is the same as what you said. It does show up in the dock if you turn on firing arcs, FWIW.
