Question about EQUIPMENT Slots =?

Well, i guess we all know what im talking about, right?
Its those ''yellow coloured'' thingamajiks that u can install on ur ship to make it better, like, an autorepair system, mining/tractor beam or a fuel converter, etc etc....

AND here is the QUESTION;

SO far i notice that the first 3 frames (Beginning with the Talon etc...) ALWAYS have a maximum capacity of 5 equipment slots. I tried to find more about it on the instructions manual but failed to do so, hence im asking here.

Is ''5'' REALLY the MAXIMUM number of equipment you can have on your ship, EVER? Can't you sometime in the future move on to a much bigger/expensive hull frame with more assembly points that allows for perhaps 6-7 equipment slots??
*Or are we stuck with a 5 equipment-at-a-time limit forever?

I can understand the need for such limitations, i really do but i wish at least bigger ships could offer just a few more slots for equipping devices.

TY:)

Personally, I'd rather see the lower classes having a lower maximum

.

But yeah, 5 really is the maximum.

Doesn't seem so.... however, since you can equip and unequip items; the solution lies there. Load the extra units into cargo , and equip them when needed.

A better way, is to have two ships. ie Phoenix for fighting (unless u've got a mil ship), and the Hunter for trading. Then equip them for those roles. Obviously, good shields, engines and weapons are a must.

I would perssonaly like one extra slot for the leviathan only since it has the most assembly points!
