"I think they got it backwards. You can have unlimited designs , and only 200 ships. In programming terms, I wonder which one takes up more memory. "

Why is this backwards? Designs, unless built, have no effect on the game.

Designs keep track of the number of each class built, lost, scrapped, and how much damage that class has done. Ships keep track of mothball status, position, damage of components, movement available, supply, and various other things.
