Different Module sizes on ships

I just started playing TA and I'm finding that the ship designs that are included are able to hold more gear than the ones I design myself.

Prior to selecting a ship template, a laser III is listed as having a size of 6.  A small template has 24 slots so it should be able to hold 4 of these.  If I use a Phoenix M3, it has 4 of them equipped.  If I try building my own small ship, however, the second that I select a ship template the laser III becomes size 7.

Is this intentional?

Phoenix M3 - are you referring to autodesigned ships? If so, the bug that the autodesigner somehow uses more space than really is available is known, I don't know if it's fixed in 1.92 though.

Yes, I was referring to autodesigned vs. custom. Good to know that it's a known issue. Thanks!
