More weapons than expected

Hello all. I think that this question is older, but i don´t found anything on the forum.

 

I was playing Dark Avatar and i noticed that one computer player have more weapons than is expected to be with their miniaturization rate. 

For example, the ship is a small hull, with 4 laser IV. These lasers have a size of 7. The ship also have a ion engine (i changed the size to 6 in small hull). The miniaturization of the player is 40%.

So, if the space of the ship is 33, then 4 lasers are 28 points of space and the ion engine are 6, so the total is 34.

My miniaturization rate is 40% and i can´t put 4 lasers IV and the ion engine, because i´m only 33 space points. My question is, why this happen? is a bug or a special bonus? 

 

The computer player is Korath. Thanks.

If I remember rightly? the races have different natural abilities that cannot be tinkered with unless you use a mod so the Korath might have a natural miniterisation bonus that adds to their research some races have research or logistics bonuses etc.

  Maybe their miniaturization rate is something like 40.4% (rounded down in the stats) and yours is 39.6% (rounded up in the stats).

Different weapons and hulls respond differently to miniaturization. It's not linear.
