Tired of not having room on those escorts? =)

You know, this discussion of "small" mounts reminds me of something. Wouldn't it be nice to have a "minimum size" restriction for all components? As it is, you can only set the requirement for mounts, not for the component as a whole. Maybe the "Capital Ship Missile" should not be mountable in a destroyer at all? Maybe the "Null-space" weapon should not be mountable in anything smaller than a cruiser? Things like that. There are such things in RL as recoil effects (with projectile weapons) or reasonable balance/maneuvering tolerances fo the ship carrying the weapons.
