Mixed Components
 

Question for the elite moders we have:
Since it appears possible to have a comp. that as multiply fuctions(2 of the armors), I was wondering if anyone has tried to create any other MFC (multi. fuct. comp.)?
One idea would be a engine that provided stealth, or engine that regained some supplies.

Yes, it is entirely possible to put multiple abilities on a component. I've invented a whole new racial tech area, "Nanotechnology", and made its primary advantage 'integrated' components that combine many abilities. That and miniaturized repair bay and space yards so repair ability is much easy to carry around. The AI doesn't understand integrated abilities, though, and will mindlessly go through the list of requested ship abilities adding one component per ability regardless of what the ship already has. Hopefully this will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Baron,

Could you post your files? I really like your idea. Thanks
