Well, right off the bat, engine move bonuses and Solar Sail are two different types of abilities. Engines have Bonus Movement. Solar Sail has extra movement. As tenryu pointed out in the other thread mentioned below, 'Extra Movement' bonuses CAN be stacked! Thanks!!!

Just a quickie in case you don't want to dig up his other thread... If you give something the Extra Movement ability, like so:

Ability 1 Type := Extra Movement Generation
Ability 1 Descr := Generates 1 bonus movement point.
Ability 1 Val 1 := 1
Ability 1 Val 2 := 2


The Val 1 is the number of movement points. The Val 2 sets a 'group' number...Or maybe you can call it a Bonus Movement Type. Any extra movement that has the same 'group' will NOT stack. So if you set something to the same number as Solar Sail (which is 1) it won't stack with Solar Sail. But, if, as above, Val 2 is set to 2, you will get that extra movement to stack with the Solar Sail.

Again tenryu...good research, that was a great find!

Now, does it work for ECM and Combat Sensors?

JC - Change the movement bonuses in your items to lines that look like what I've posted above. If you want BOTH of your items to stack with each other AND the solar sail, you will need to give one a val 2 of 2 and the other a val 2 of 3...
