Fails 2-5. — Quirck

If the proposal “Tracking Ships” failed, this proposal does nothing.
Change the following in the rule “Modules” from
Every Module has a name, a Size, Assembly Instructions, and zero or more Effects. A Captain can, as a daily action, Install a Module into their Ship by following the Assembly Instructions of the Module if their Ship’s Class is not “-â€. A Captain cannot Install a Module into their Ship if doing so would make [the sum of the Sizes of all Modules Installed on their Ship] greater than [their Ship’s Hold].

Every Module has a name, a Size, Assembly Instructions, zero or more Effects, and possibly Disassembly Instructions. A Captain can, as a daily action, Install a Module into their Ship by following the Assembly Instructions of the Module if their Ship’s Class is not “-â€. When a Captain Installs a Module, that Captain reduces their Ship’s Hold by the Size of that Module. A Captain cannot Install a Module if that Module’s Size is greater than their Ship’s Hold.
and append to the same rule
A Captain may Uninstall a Module at any time, following the Disassembly Instructions of that Module (if any). When a Captain Uninstalls a Module, that Captain increases their Ship’s Hold by the Size of that Module.
Make it easier to keep track of the space Modules take up - this way, Resources and Modules both actually take up Hold. Also allows for removal of Modules, though I think that Disassembly Instructions should be used mostly for removal of static effects (like +firepower Modules).
Yes, Modules decrease available space, but shouldn’t actually change the Hold stat. I would argue that it’s easier to add up the Sizes of the few Modules you have than going and changing the GNDT. And Hold isn’t that big to start with, so you’re making it even harder to have a decent amount of Resources (maybe just because I’m a Scout).
