Yay, I made a much better job of upgrading the ship today... after another Hard Save. 
This time I separated the whole cockpit, habs and docking section and moved them all forward. I reconnected them to the engine/drive/reactor bit with another hab module thing and this left me with a space to put the extra cargo hold here...
So it now has about double the space but still looks nice and sleek and is pretty well balanced in flight.
And I really needed some of that "flight" later.
I got myself another power and was immediately attacked by a level 30 (SPOILER) person!
And that fight was hard!
I thought Andreja was dead for a while. After a panicky run away, during which I could hear her fighting behind me, I could see from a distance that she was slumped over and immobile. Thankfully it seems to work like Skyrim where they kneel and leave you to fight on your own. But fighting on my own was pretty tough for this one. I even had to switch to first person mode!
After a couple of attempts I (we
) got back to the ship and moved on but after spinning up the drive and jumping away...
There were two of those spoilery ships in the other star system!
These were are bit closer to my level so I tried to take them on but.... TWO of them???
"Shields are failing," said someone. Maybe it was Barrett.
"The Grav Drive's gone!" shouted Sarah. "We're stuck here!"
"Wanna hear about a poem I wrote," said Cora. "It's called a haiku!"
And we're dead.
*reloads*
Yes, there's two of those ships. Spin up the Grav Drive now before they lock on and get us out of here!!!
Engage! Make it so! Or whatever it is that we say in this world! Just.... GO!!!

I wish she had more lines. I've heard that haiku a thousand times. 
She also constantly asks me for books but I'm unable to give her any even though I'm carrying lots of books for some reason.
And then she'll once again ask her dad if he's ever taken space skooma.
Come on, Sam. Answer the question!

...and I've upgraded my spaceship's cargo hold again. 
I realised that I could move the existing portholes into that new crew compartment and this allowed me the space to bolt on two new cargo modules into the gaps left behind.
But of course this made the ship too heavy so I had to stick on another engine but there was a central, symmetrical one that could go at the top which would keep the triangular style at the back.
But of course this meant I no longer had enough thrust from the Grav Drive so I had to replace that too.
But of course this meant that- Oh, wait. There wasn't another error. It all works!
So last week it only held about 200kg but now it can hold nearly 1000kg of outfits!
It all cost me just over 10,000 credits but I made more than that when I blackmailed that guy on Mars so I'm still in profit for the day.
(Andreja disliked that.)
Oh, well.
