I've finally decided to check Spaceships and I must admit it's better than what I thought (though I still need to get my head around the combat system) but one thing stood out for me: All systems have same capacity. For example, you can't pay more for a better Control Room with higher Complexity, get some Jet Engine that costs 2x but is 1.5x better than an ordinary one, or pay premium to get better handling.
Does one of the other books of the Spaceships line or some Pyramid article covers this?

Edit: By the way, does incoming missiles counts as streamlined?
