Eh? I've never seen this happen and I'm continuously refitting my ships. Are you sure you aren't resetting the hull size when you upgrade the design?

Re: "sizes must match" -

I, too, get this message all the time. Does anyone know whether MM will repair this seeming bug in the first patch?

And no, I am not resetting hull size, but it does seem to be related to adding/subtracting components from an upgraded design. Terribly frustrating.

I've never seen a "sizes must match" message, and my upgrades regularly have different #'s of components.

Are you maybe seeing the "maximum 50% cost difference" message? If you are, that means that you new design costs more than twice as much as your old one and you can't upgrade that ship to the new type. (Actually, you can if you're willing to design intermediate cost level designs and put the ship through a series of upgrades - very pricey!).

You can adjust the 50% number through a setting in Settings.txt.

Nope, I'm positive about the message. Either it is referring to adding additional components in an upgrade or sizes of swapped components not matching. I'll try it again later and let ya'll know.
