Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Hey, thats an ingenious little system their. I like it! Makes "Infantry Units" have some flesh to them (abstractly though). With something like this you can design entire Infantry Divisions with different types of personel and equipment (2 components of infanty, a single unit of artilary, with 1 unit of tank armor).

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Cloaking infantry does nothing. They are always either in a ship (and require only a long-range scanner to see), or in combat.

What you probably want is a big ECM type bonus.

Troops cannot repair. They are either destroyed, or the partial damage is forgotten.

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

Well i gave them the nomads coponentds because they are pirates/nomads in space that never board ships and you hire them to attack enemy ships ainly they have high defense for their colonyts never make allies

Re: Some of my ideas and questions
 

FYI, I'm gonna switcheroo the Nomads, and remove their resource ships.
This should make them more like what I think you're talking about.

They have no resource ships, so they can only remote mine, use the basic production (500 in P&N, 200 normally), capture & scrap ships, or go mercenary.

Instead, they'll get the opportunity to use 1% maintenance ships. (Despite the 5% limit http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon12.gif)
This will be included as a component, so the nomads should be able to use normal hulls at 1% maintenance, and things will be awesome.
Note: the nomads will be able to sell/get captured/give these ships to other races, and the others will enjoy the 1% maintenance greatly.

Quite a big bargaining chip for a merchant nomad.
