Really? I haven't played multiplayer enough to realize that. I bet you'd kick my butt
OK, it'll either be an incentive to get starbase, or maybe I'll make the component fit on something smaller than a starbase.


Here's a question. Will the Gravity Manipulation defense components (gravity lens family) stack with the ECM family? How about with the stealth armor family? I assumed that it would, and that bonuses could stack past 100%...

i.e. Gravity Lens X = 30% defense bonus
ECM Y = 60% defense bonus
Stealth Armor Z = 15% defense bonus
Total = 105% defense bonus

vs.

Enemy Sensors N = 60% attack bonus
Enemy experience = 20% attack bonus
Total = 80% attack bonus

105% - 80% = 25% defense bonus

Edit: according to latin pluralization rules, more than one bonus should be boni
