I also count the number of guns etc. after I build a ship, although I do start with at least a general concept of the shape, armament, and weapon layout.

On another note though, Tribal, it really doesn't take that long to count the number of 204cm guns on a ship. Note that the system proposed by TATO only requires you to count 204cm guns, doomsday cannons, and MCMs/SS-12-N missiles (although I still don't agree with having missiles in the same category).
