That was for a small hull heavy fighter. I forget what level of mini tech I had, but it couldn't have had been much. That was fairly early in that game. Here's the whole screenshot (dialup warning): http://www.mikehealan.com/pix/ss/tristron2.jpg
If mini tech was going to effect the size, wouldn't it effect the next level by the same amount? The next gen armor ought to be different in at least one way. Cheaper, smaller, tougher... something.
