Again, if you had actually read my post instead of skimmed it you'd note that I already acknowledged that there's multiple slots, hence why my idea would be easy to implement since the ground work is already there. Please, stop skimming and start reading.

Finally, this thread has gone off topic, which was that jump drives, docking modules, survey modules and cloaking devices should not use cargo space. But they do because of balance, and the jump drives and survey modules have been balanced to work only on battleships. If the devs want to change it they will, but not a day before they want to.
If freighters can no longer use jump drives, at all, then I further see no reason for them to take cargo space. As it seems most limiters were brought in due to traders.
They can be balanced without using cargo space and working on more ships than just battleships. And please don't start going down the route of "when the devs want to they will", because I hate that level of ignorance. Nothing gets better if the devs don't listen, and if they didn't listen forum sections like this wouldn't exist.
Let's weigh the pros and cons.
Pros:
*Easier to tweak these modules per ship since they use dedicated slots and aren't bound by cargo space, which can fluctuate from ship to ship.
*Allows way more people to experience a mechanic that probably took a fair bit of work.
*Allows for more styles of play by giving players more options in how to gear up their ship.
Cons:
*If you can think of a con for giving ships smaller than battleships the ability to jump, feel free, cuz I aint got any.
P.S. With all the 'go learn' comments from you, keep in mind that things changed in .87 and the main server doesn't make acquiring these modules easy, indeed it's nigh impossible. So testing these things is limited to other servers which is more than a little cumbersome. Takes time bro.
