    I think it would be great if, instead of having to attach a bazillion enhancers to something, the enhancer was changed into an item type that was put INTO the main module (turret docking, ship docking modules) so they don't create crazy long strands of blocks for the purposes of docking really large ships/turrets. This idea would work well with everything else that gets stronger with more of the same block next to it. Maybe different strength levels for each kind of block which can be created in a factory. For example, you could combine 5 shield generator blocks in a factory somehow to output 1 "level 2" shield gen block, which would be as strong as 4 level 1's. (-1 power as part of the price of manufacturing?) ... maybe this could require a new kind of blueprint or something? This would be great for servers that experience lag issues because of people importing crazy kinds of giant ships for massive power, instead those ships can be built smaller with more "powerful" blocks. Get it? :)

    I do like the idea of tiered items. This could make for interesting dynamics in the game.
