Does bigger mean better, when it comes to equipment slots? For example, will capital-sized radars be superior at detecting threats than much smaller radars of dedicated scouts? Or will have capital-sized computers have more storage than something like the Herald?

Sort of yes, yes in some aspects, no in others. So bigger things tend to do certain functions better. So in the example of radar, a bigger radar would see and detect, well, see further than a smaller one. But you also have the trade-off that it's giving out much higher signals and emissions than a smaller one. So you can see further, but you're lighting up like a lighthouse, so people will see you quicker. And for computers, we don't have capital-sized computers. We only go up to mediums. So big capital ships actually have huge banks of these medium ones. But for those, yes, larger and higher grade items have more slots so you can do more things with them. And we sort of touched on that in the Shipyard articles.
