No, it doesn't matter at all. Scaling is still far easier in the empty space ship. The spaghetti ship can either simply use single block connections between shield groups or have multiple bubbles. Efficiency falloff? Doesn't matter, the ship only needs shields to protect it in case of an...
The bubbles can be scaled up. Doesn't matter how it's done, the point still stands. Something that is mostly just empty space is going to be able to scale whatever it is up really easily.
Why? The shield bubble radius is seemingly based on reactor size, and that's far easier to scale up in a ship that's mostly space than a restricting hull.
I'd like to nominate RedAlert_007 for the position of mentor.
He is experienced in both PvP and fundamental game mechanics, placing him in an excellent position to help both newer members (laffs) and older players.
So what, you're trying to make it easier for us? Because I don't remember anyone saying "wow it's a real pain to refit ships, we should throw out the current power system"

Arkudo is technically correct, it's more efficient to use all your dimensions then limit yourself to a rectangle shape. The lines going into waffles aren't bad in themselves, as a line is also a max efficiency shape, but if you can exploit your dimensions then you should do so.
