Actually, ya, that would in several ways be a better way to do it than my plan of adding different hull sizes with different abilities.

Even better would be to not just have more advanced components, but to use the tonnage and tech level limits of mounts to allow improvements via mounts. Of course, mounts have similar interface issues to ship sizes (e.g. no obsolescence), but at least size can limit which ones appear on the list.
