I understand inheritance vs composition, in fact I heavily prefer composition over inheritance, specially when inheritance gets to 3 or 4 levels. I was trying to convey that Item is kind of redundant in the current scheme.

From the current Item properties/Data I can think of these:

Mass/Cost/Design is irrelevant for Stars, so we could move them a level up to Designs, and it kinda makes sense.
Position is irrelevant for Designs/ShipDesigns/Ships but relevant for Fleets and Stars. We can't move it without duplicating it in both Stars and Fleets, which might not be that terrible.
Mass & Cost could move up to the Design, and Fleets get them from their Ship collections.

Perhaps having Ship not inherit Item since that data would be in it's design would be a step in the right direction. Still leaves designs with irrelevant positions which only become relevant at the Fleet level.

And welcome back btw!
