Here is a copy of my component and CompEnhancement.txt file. It's a combination of other mods including my own. Let me know what you think.

Shouldn't the shield mount "for smaller ships" have a maximum hull size, not a minimum?

DUC and torpedo mounts... why? If the weapon is too weak, it makes more sense to fix the weapon itself.
Or, alternatively, why not similar custom mounts for the other guns?

I would make it a maximum hull size but that setting isn't available in the CompEnhancement.txt.

As for torpedoes I did make changes to their damage and percent to hit. Make them more Star Trek like. My overall aim was to try to make the weapons a bit different with the mounts. The stock weapons are just not well thought out.

Maybe it would be easier to limit the mounts a bit and focus more on the Components.txt. I'd really like to make the weapons have advantages and disadvantages.

It is available; it just isn't used in the stock game. You can add a new line that says "Vehicle Size Maximum" below the minimum line.
