That's what I feared but then how can we improve the turn rate of a ship class. If only by creating newer ship class which cannot be retrofitted in, it's not very usable (at least not very moddable).

You could make the hull 1kt bigger, and set the "X decrease per kt" to be negative a big number.

Basically a hull upgrade...for turn rate.

Indeed.
It also applies to accelerations.

In regards to unit type names with spaces:

There are issues.
I made a "Ground Base" unit type, but components limited to "Ground Base" were also appearing on regular "Base" hulls.

Further testing shows that even "GroundBase" shows up on "Base" hulls. Looks like a substring match.

Yup, that would be consistent with how it treated my "Garrison Troop" - made it available to any other unit with "Troop" in its name.

Note - issue #5 below relating to names not working in this file is fixed as of v1.13.

Issue number 5? Are you talking about the Weapon Platform bug?

I hoped to make a 2-D developpement flow with one axis for size and one for turn rate (2 tech influencing the hull).

So seems I have to leave this idea behind for now.
