Don't think you can limit components to certain hull sizes; I think the limits are hard-coded to troops/sats/fighters/ships/bases.

It should be possible to create a separate component for each hull size, and restrict all other sizes from using the ones not meant for them. Unfortunately the restrictions don't work yet .

Again, I think the requirement for asteroids in a sector for building a planet is hard-coded. It may be possible as an extension of the Ringworld/Sphereworld components, but it may be fairly complex to mod.

I'm pretty sure its impossible for planet creation, but it is brain-dead easy to do for ring/sphereworlds. Those have a line indicating the mass (kt) of support components required to be in the same sector, just set it to zero.

You should be able to limit components to a class of ship, transports must have cargo holds for example. You can certainly force a minimum hull size by making the component bigger, maybe each Version gets both more powerful and physically larger.
Some of these ideas sound coool, hope they can be implemented.
