Cargo holds, control rooms, defensive ECM, engine rooms, external clamps, open spaces, ramscoops, soft land systems, and stasis webs do not have statistics that can be meaningfully modified by quality and can't be bought with quality in mind.
Actually of those ECM has a thing that could be modified by quality: the resistance to Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM) Task (spaceships 3 p 25), but that does require the task to be in use of course.

Also a soft landing system could conceivably give a bonus to landings with it. Ramscoops(if you allow them to work), could have difference in how low velocity they can start working based on quality.
