Free-Form Ship Builder

I've written a basic, free-form ship builder. It is a web form that processes text entered, free-form, and detects ship components, sizes them, and calculates the total used tonnage.

The default example is of a trader similar to the Beowulf.

A row of buttons let you sample options by category, more or less similar to the options available to Broadsword-class mercenary cruisers.

With the provided examples, one can quickly learn how to build one's own ships. I also have instructions at the bottom of the page, below the fold.

On my list of things to do is to calculate prices and have a YAML design output option.
 
Armor is very basic at this moment: you can say

Armor-10

...and you'll get 10 layers of armor (9 of which displace volume). You can also modify it in exactly one way:

Armor-10 Charged

...which doubles the AV.

Weapon mounts available include:

T1 T2 T3 T4 B1 B2 Bay LBay Main
