As for the Heavy/VH/XH concept... I just now realize what your hull strengthening is supposed to accomplish ("decoy" internal componets), so this idea dosen't really do what you want...

This idea I'm going to add to crystaline tech... it's not armor, it only helps prevent the ship from destruction not being "gutted"... diffrent levels have diffrent sizes/hp (would normally have 1 Version per ship size, but since custom Groups is not working, that idea is moot).
I might add some basic abilities to the componet, such as a bit more propulsion w/o supply usage... so even your "gutted" ship can get back to repair faster... even if it has lost all engines.

But now I see what your "reinforced hull" does, and it's quite intriguing... I might just try it out.
