i like that alot. what would probably be more effective and achieve the same thing though, is if we could research different types of mounts, instead of having all available. that way you could have an escort mount that would reduce mass of components by 25% or something. which would be rather slick with that 50% defensive bonus. im not sure you can have mounts be technology dependant though.

however, with entire new hull sizes you could do something like, allow more engines on a hull. maybe you could make a super basehip hull, tripple the number of engines and double the engines required per move. it could go ***3*** spaces, not including bonus move points.
