Default Re: GridTechs, compression and HD space.

I would guess at least 2^16 for max number of components, so that's about 64000. Most likely it's 2^32 theoretical max, so four billion. But then you start running into memory issues. 1000-4000 levels of weapons should be fine as far as the game being able to load it, but if it's all kept in memory, then there could be some issues on older machines...
