This is a known issue; the slot is actually there, but just dosen't get drawn because the type isn't one of the defaults.

It'll work fine for enemies, since they don't care anyways, and the patch will have them show up for players too.

Well, the patch arrived annnnd..custom slot types still don't work.

"Should have", I suppose.

They are showing up in the ship dealer's screen, but they are hidden on the spacedock screen...

You should be able to drop components into the slot if you remember where it was.

This is probably because there isn't a checkbox under the display options for "Other" or "All"

So far, no. Doesn't even beep if you try to put a non-valid component there.

I created a "Weapon (Magic)" slot on an abbidon carrier just now (using 1.08).

It did show up fine in the store, and buzzed me when I tried to drop an armor component in the hole where it was.

That's odd. I just did the same thing- changed a Terran Destroyers weapon(heavy) to weapon (Fighter)

The slot doesn't show up, but it DOES beep.

EDIT: it shows up in the ship purchase screen, but not in the spacedock..

And I missunderstood your post apparently, heh. Yeah, this is the same as what you said. It does show up in the dock if you turn on firing arcs, FWIW.
