If you increase the number of equipment items per unit, say from 32 to 64, there's another doubling. But, still probably not too much of an issue. (Ooh - and increase the number and/or size of parameters in the equipment item - it just keeps growing). [:)]

But there could also be a hit on file sizes, and that may not depend upon whether the arrays actually had real units in them. Just the fact that the system has to have a 5k array might double file sizes, etc. That's why dynamic arrays might be the trick.

File size shouldn't go up that much, it uses compression, so it should be ok. Worst case, I can store the old or new structures to disk and load the one I need instead of having 2 programs.
