Thank you!
Just looked it up. Aside from great luck with hidden stashes, they only drop from enemies when you have built a 15 slot ship. Very endgame stuff.

Stabilizing Mainframe Wiring I think they are called. Each one adds about another subsystem worth of processing power.

Wait, there are subsystems that allow us to make things bigger? Which ones?

I know, it is why I called it 15+ slots.

You can however use the socket upgrade modules (you'll need a few of them) to build the ship at it's actual size. You can then remove them and still use the ship.

The ship is also made so that it can be scaled down by 50% and still function.

The Enforcer is the more standard mode friendly ship of these two.

Not sure if you'll read this, given it's half a year after the post, but this ship gets scaled down to a little over half the dimensions. I presume this was made for classic mode, not the new(ish) standard mode. Unfortunately, the game scaled the ship down without leaving any room left to convert the frameworks, even for the transporter. Can't figure out how to scale ships down without applying a saved design. Would it be too much to ask for a scaled down version that just reaches 15 slots, instead of being capped out?

Noice!
