Ever since I got Endless SPace 2 I have been plagued about not being able to remember how many slots the ships of each faction have in their base un-upgraded form. This creates problems for me when I want to pick factions as I have to redesign my configuration for ships with different kinds of slots. I suggest that in the pre-game menu where you select your faction that players are show the slots their ships have at each upgrade level alogside the pictures and descriptions that are already there. I'm especially sure that this will help new players as well as they will be able to default onto whatever faction has the configuration tehy like best if they can't decide through any other means.
