Better handling of "packgages"

Post by TBeholder »

First, right now it's bulky thing that takes damage as one piece and is damaged when you buy better shield which it didn't blocked.
Second, there's interesting possibilities: if ship can be outfitted with "packgages" (massive modifications) on orbital wharf or fabric to tweak it more severely than with handful of upgrades. That is, it could include things like changed set of mount options for upgrades / weapons / subunits / docks.
For example, the same Llama or Plowshare could have options heavier mounts for some internal space taken for power systems, or bigger thrusters and extra hull reinforcement leaving less volume for hold, or extra mounts or subunits installed, or minimized systems leaving bigger hold... Of course, not all such modifications can be uninstalled as easily as plug-and-play capacitor bank.
