That is true. Spacecraft size limit progression is still something I have no idea on how would be solved. But we have had several possible ideas in the past.
I believe it was Ikkir that suggested that the size of your spacecraft factory and space station could limit it the size of spacecraft you can manufacture. Maybe building a bigger spacecraft factory could require more advanced construction materials.
Or the ideas we had in the old "Remove TL Mega Thread". Spacecraft manufacturing requiring tech objects that have diminishing returns and slowly decay, so you have to keep producing more and more of them to get the amount needed to manufacture bigger spacecraft.
Resource quality could also be a factor, unless that gets another use. Haxus mentioned that maybe the quality of a spacecraft's modules should determine how likely the module is to break down when used from wear and tear. I at least like that better than the module effectiveness scaling and spacecraft size limiting.
Anyway, I guess that is getting off-topic.
