Anyone want to suggest a new design for the space dock to fix the armour overload bug by splitting the single armour slot into multiple slots?

Well, if it's possible, you could just tack another armour slot on (visually coming off the existing one,) then halve the capacity of both the slots.

Perhaps it would be possible to fix the faulty "signed div by 2" math which causes the bug itself?
If that would not be possible, then I see two main options:
Original Space Dock set up, where numbers mean slot definition order, "#" means cargo space and "2" is the 24-shield/armor slot:
11
001155
00 55
22 ## 33
22 ## 33
77 66
774466
44
1) Space Dock with a second shield/armor slot, "a", with both "2" and "a" holding up to 12 items.

0011aa55
00 55
22 ## 33
22 ## 33
77 66
774466
44
2) Space Dock with 2 extra shield/armor slots, "a" and "b", with all 3 shield/armor slots holding up to 8 items, and some slot repositioning.

AllItemsTable code:
16,2,"Space Dock 2",33,0,0,0,4,0,0,0,200,40,10,50,132,200,0,250,2560,1,4 8,16,12,8,48,16,4,24,2048,2,2048,2,48,16,12,8,12,8,0,0,0,0,0 ,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,140,0,102,68,33,19,65,71,115,39,103,97,21, 117,0,0,0,0,0,0
Alternative repositioning for option (2), including repositioning the "cargo" slot:

2 extra slots would give increased freedom for designing those deadly Space Docks, mind.
{Edit: fixed slightly misaligned "SpaceDock 3" code}

OK - After everybody's had their say, here is what I'd simply do - redesign with 3 armor slots.
So, here's a nice symmetrical design with 3 armor slots of 8 units each:
W SA
OE 16 8 E
1 2
SA SD W
8 200kt 16
W E
16 S SA 2
24 8
The items should be self explanatory but, just in case:
SA= Shield/Armor
S= Shield
OE= Orbital/Electrical
E= Electrical
W= Weapons
SD= Space Dock
This is easy enough to modify with StarsEd and provides the exact same space dock functionality while being visually symmetrical.
