I have a concern though: int counters have a problem. When a fleet or design is deleted, we cant simply reduce the counter by one; we would also need to re-index all designs and fleets. We need a way to tag available numbers on the counters. Perhaps use a dictionary<int, bool> with with <item.id, isUsed> instead of plain ints?

If possible, I would recommend avoiding the re-use of IDs during the same turn. I realize this will make the server's processing (and some of the client's processing) of turns more difficult, but I always found it annoying in Stars! that the messages would refer to a fleet but clicking on the GoTo button did not show me that fleet but some other fleet that was now assigned the referenced fleet id.

There might not be an easy way to store IDs that will be freed up at the end of the turn and then free them up as the last step in the processing. If it would be too difficult to implement this I understand.
