Maxium ship slots for SEV mods

So is 165 the hardcoded limit on number of slots? Oh that is per deck, so 165*3=495 total available slots...probably on a Dreadnought, or a Starbase...

Its not so much hardcode, as the most you can tile on the screen without overlapping any.

If you want to allow overlap while still retaining enough room to be able to use the slots, you can increase that by a factor of almost 4x.

I'd think it would be a UI improvement in minimizing mouse clicks if this were used as a new agreed-upon standard so as to minimize the need to use middle and lower decks. Those that like to use middle and lower decks would not be inconvenienced any more than they are now. But for me personally, I like to see all the components on one screen.

According to the posted patch history, there will be a way to specify a slot layout override file to override the slot layouts in ship hulls. The default setup for this can be made a screen full of slots, so you can get that easily now (well, after the patch is out).

Does the slot name matter, or only the slot type? If I make a slot named "Engines" of type "Outer Hull", could I then restrict engine components to only be placeable in "Engine" slots?
