The question is that if i change a ships sprite, bounds and weapon placements will it break a save that has that ship in it?
Also does the same go for ship systems? I assume that could break a save but unsure.

I know at the very changing ship IDs will break them

Changing sprites or bounds will not break saves, since that data doesn't end up in the savefile and is loaded fresh every time you run the game.

However: if you remove or change the IDs of weapon slots, that could break a save, since a custom variant in the save might be set to use a slot that would, at that point, not exist. Other changes to weapon slots should be fine, i.e. if you change it to a different type, that'll be fine, though some older variants might have an invalid weapon slotted into it.
