[Q]

I disagree Kwok.
Auto complete makes a ship as defined by the AI design instructions. That may be completely different from what I want.
What Atrocities proposed is a completely human design just more efficiently made. I am still convinced that the exact location of a component is rarely relevant for the outcome of a combat therefore to specify the prefered location (inner/outer hull/front/rear/sides) for each component would absolutely be sufficient for most cases IMO.
