i just noticed during my last game that engine and weapon components increased their size when i put them on a larger hull. example. just started a game with custom race. goto ship builder. new ship. to put ion drive motor on a tiny hull it is size 5, size 6 on small hull, size 8 on medium hull. is this design or a bug?

According to http://galciv.wikicities.com/wiki/Hull, that is by design. (By the way, other games, such as MoO II, also size ship components relative to the hull size)"For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated; they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance." - Niccolo Machiavelli -
This is only logical, in that it will take a larger propulsive system of any one type to drive a greater mass. Greater power=greater size installation. Or so it would seem to me.Comment

According to the wiki, component size also increases as your miniaturization bonus increases (because it increases your hull size, presumably), which is rather counter-intuitive and somewhat counters the benefit of miniaturization. But that's probably a bug."For it must be noted, that men must either be caressed or else annihilated; they will revenge themselves for small injuries, but cannot do so for great ones; the injury therefore that we do to a man must be such that we need not fear his vengeance." - Niccolo MachiavelliComment
