I think what the good Colonel is trying to say is that in SE4, when you design, say, a carrier, you're told it has 3000kT of cargo space. But how many fighters is that?
I've got a mine layer with 1500kT of cargo space. How many mines is that?
It'd be nice if after you designed a ship to carry specific units (carrier/troopship/minelayer/etc), then beside the cargo space it would tell you how many units of that type it could hold. eg: 100 Light Fighters/80 Med Fighters/60 Heavy Fighters.
Obviously if you're mixing between sizes, it doesn't work, but it'd at least give you an idea without having to pull out the calculator, and have the unit capacities of all your ships scribbled down somewhere.
