Default Re: AI CAMPAIGN ; Released

Sorting your components by type in components.txt would be nice as well; you've currently got WP armor at the top of the file, and AFV armor at the bottom.
That makes the location of armor in the design screen inconsistent between vehicle types.

If you arrange things so that components are always in the same order between bases, ships, troops, etc it makes designing things easier and faster. Placing similar categories together can't hurt either, such as shields being placed right beside the armor.

RE: Ionic Shield Generators.
Regular shields provide protection against engine destroying weapons as of the latest patch, so these aren't really required anymore. They could be abused as armor components, given their huge hitpoints and low cost.

Re: Small arms troop weapons.
They all have incorrect accuracy modifiers, not just the first one.

Re: Heavy weapons (troops).
They have the accuracy ability descriptions accurate, but fail to mention the accuracy bonus for just that component.
IE: Weapon Modifier := 20
