There are a few suggestions pertaining to this and I'll try to sort them all out in a concise and readable way.
This is about modifying the core or bulkhead of the ship itself.
For example, maybe a long range modification would include trading space for a bigger fsd slot by giving up other internal space.
Trading optional internal spaces for larger, smaller, trading for larger or smaller core modules as well is the base idea
Included would be some combat modifications too. Trading a size 4 hardpoint and internal to modify the bulkhead to receive a 'Spinal mount' modification. Like the A10 jet, the ship would be fitted around a large, maybe size 5 gun of some kind. Trade offs would be obvious in heat and losing internal and other hard point spots, weight etc.
Although the spinal mount could be applied to smaller ships scaled appropriately.
This suggestion is not refined, I haven't thought over the options but I think it would be a cool addition to further push for unique ships of many kinds.
Thanks for reading
