Mattress he might be referring to the size difference damage cap. Which I think brings up an issue to consider if requiring heat sinks and the like would affect them much. Really only very tiny ships would be affected much since to add scanning and cloacking you have to add decks everything else can be added with rank points. So no I don't see that much loss but I might be a bit biased since I think the damage cap for size difference is a bad idea.

good input all around
