Okay, I see where that would be a problem. I was just thinking of the launchers as just being like the modern vertical launcher systems in newer naval warships which are just boxes with individual cells for each missile. I wasn't taking into account the fire control systems as well.
One other idea I had was to have miniature refineries available as habitat options the way you have mini and micro factories.
Oh yeah, another idea I had was allowing someone to install 3 bridge slots and having it count as a bridge for the next larger sized ship. Kind of like you can do for improved sensor suites.
