If you made the slots too specific, then it would become increasingly difficult to balance the sets - and then you'd have the problem of user created shipsets with favorable layouts for weapons or extra engines etc.

In the SE:V Balance Mod, slots are put to a little better use with some components like weapons and engines being restricted to outer slots and stuff like that. With the layers of damage, they should be the first to go before internals and so on.

Hmm, problem is that as it is it's rather pointless and not interesting, the "dump'em all" of SE4 was at least simple and visually clear ...
Now I can design a Frigate with engines all over the place, weapon facing rear, everything spilled over 3 decks, it's rather stoopid...

I'd also like to have bigger ships on the sector view, maybe it's moddable (it was in Starfury where ships were too big to the contrary..).

It's almost certainly moddable, but you should not have to rely on a mod for something like this! Seeing the ships is a basic part of the gameplay.

If I have to download a mod just to play the game without straining my eyes, then maybe I should pay the modder instead of the game company.

If you scroll in to see the ships you can only see a small part of the system. You have to scroll out in order to decide where to move your ships. This makes no sense.

Well, as I said before, it's Aaron's choice as to what direction he wants his game to move. He has his reasons and that's his right and that's that. Everybody can make his own decision about whether that direction is right for them.

I had an issue where I couldn't switch back to the system view from the tactical view.

I had to resize the system map, click next colony and then look in a build queue, then i could switch back.
