Could there be added a way to recuse the size taken by components as well as their construction and maintenance costs. Say like each level of "miniaturation" costing twice the cost of former level , having cumulative effect to reduse costs and size by 10% per level (not (-10-10-...), but (.9 * .9 * ...).
So if one would reseach 10 levels of "DUC I minituration", the end would allow build DUC I at ~35% of cost and size of the original. But the cost would be insane, level 10 would cost 512 times the first level
Also, the actual research for DUC I would have different base cost to miniturize, or it would be pointless to miniturize anything.
This can be done in SE4 with mounts. Modded mounts, of course. There are some mount mods that do just this sort of thing. Check out Deathstalker's Mount Mod. (For mounts coming out the wazoo! )
