1. Starflares
Current: 4 grid
Suggestion: 6 grid

2. Sunflares
Current: 4 grid
Suggestion: 8 grid

3. AGT
Current: 4 grid
Suggestion: 8 grid

4. Gauss mk3
Current: 8 grid
Suggestion: 6 grid

5. Plasma annihilator
Current: 11 grid
Suggestion: 8 grid

6. Phase blaster mk1, mk2, TPG and Orion versions, all "free" ion blasters, plasma cannons
Current: 4 grid
Suggestion: 2 grid

7. Fast charge, Light and free powercell
Currently supports totally 20 grid loadout
Change to 12 grid

Overall I like it. The batts could use a small change tho.

Free cell - 8
Light cell - 12
Fast charge - 14
med cell - 16
Heavy cell - 20

Ultra cell - 20 grid

Capital class equipment -
Weapons - 20+ ea
Cell - 80-100

+1 to OP
+2 to PaKettle's variation on PC. It makes no sense that a free power cell have same grid than a heavy one.

It was requested before, and remains a better option. But I'd prefer:

Free cell - 8
Light cell - 12
med cell - 16
Fast charge - 20
Ultra cell - 20
Heavy cell - 24

It would be nice having a variety of grid limits.

My vote is for the following numbers:
Free cell - 12
Light cell - 12
Med cell - 24
Fast charge - 16
Hive FC - 20
Ultra charge - 20
Heavy cell - 20

And yes, this gives the med cell the highest grid. The tradeoff being you can equip more stuff but have to suffer a lower recharge rate. This gives it a reason to actually use it since it becomes obsolete once the hvy is available. Note this would allow equipping a second weapon with the widowmaker, but the WM uses over 80 EPS and the med cell only charges at 40/s.

-1 for increasing the grid size of flares. The whole point in using them is they don't use energy, so it doesn't make sense for them to have a higher grid.

I could see increasing the AGT grid to 6, but 8 seems excessive.

-1 to decreasing the Gauss Mk3 (it is mk3 after all)

-1 to blasters with grid 2 (especially the TPG and Orion, which are specialty ones)
