You're right, also the large transport hull holds more engines than a dreadnought for the same hull size. I guess the balance arises when you consider the amount of research it takes to get these hulls. Or not.

SE3 had areas of each ship. An inner hull, outer hull and an armor slot. You could put components anywhere. I guess people would like the ability to give any component the armor attribute to gain some more space.

Can we already do this? Make a mount for components the decreases space taken for the component and gives the component fewer hit points?
