Default Re: SE5 Poll on Slot Layout, take 2

Ever played Starfury? Presumably in (stock) SE5 it will work much the same way - you have a bazillion slots, but a tonnage limitation, so you can't possibly fill up all of them with components. (This also does help with the "Oh no, my shipset sucks therefore all my designs suck" problem - unless you are playing with a mod that has very light components or a shipset with very small ship models, you will not run into a shortage of slots on your ship!) In Starfury, for instance, you might have 50 slots on a ship, with the average component weighing in at maybe 20-50kT - but only the largest ships reached 1000kT, let alone 2500kT! Presumably SE5 will be similar...
