Crew Barracks are medium in size, but I've found myself with some small size that would be nice to fill with beds and use that medium size for a heavy duty weapon, or a -300 mass component.

Sorry, Barracks are Medium only.
There are a lot of reasons for this.
One is ship design balance.
Another is Ship Combat damage cascading and crew hits.
The last (read, the LAST) thing you want is lots of things the damage engine considers barracks on your ship.
If you can help it, never ever have more than one Barracks. Two Barracks on board literally doubles your chances of taking massive Crew critical.
The same can be said of Bridge components (and Captain HP loss) but we fixed the game to help the player avoid that type of mistake.

OH! That probably explains why my Captain with the 5-bridge ship got shot to death out of the blue!   |

OH! That probably explains why my Captain with the 5-bridge ship got shot to death out of the blue! Yeah, that could generate 200HP damage to the Captain in a single Turn. He or she is assumed to be on the Bridge ... which is why having 5 is both silly and dangerous. Every Barracks you have, likewise, is assumed to have some Crew in it. |
