Unless your race is robotoids, thats true http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif
I was just trying to underscore the connection between robo miners and what was wanted with research.

Your right, the robominers and the space yards are exceptions and this is apparently hard coded so we can't change it ourselves.
I too would like to be able to place some facility abilities to ships and units but you have to be very careful not to unbalance the game.

Yeah, adding abilities is really hit and miss. Some you can tell by their description others you just have to try. I wish their was a list of what abilities worked on what objects. Maybe eventually their will be a mod guide to go along with the map editor they are adding.
