Also, I've been thinking a lot about crew components. Me? I love crew. I'd love to see more crew in SEIV period. Call me nuts, but watching a battlecruiser take out the life support on my Dreadnought is pretty annoying, but it doesn't really bother me. Having my oarsmen wiped out by grapeshot, my first mate taking a bullet in the face or (god forbid) watching my Ninja Pirates get decimated by scatter guns, well... it may just bring a tear to my eye.

And the beauty of this sort of time period is that crew are very vulnerable and very valuable - no master computers here. So, er, yeah, I just wanted to share that with you, and expect to see a lot of crew components.

One quick question regarding repair, though:

Okay, so you can set it so that certain components can only be repaired at a space yard. This would include most of the ship's structure, considering the difficulty they would have in repairing the ship's hull. But - could you have two different types of repair? I'm thinking "Ship's surgeon" for crew types, and "Jury Riggers" for simple ship components. Possible? Doesn't look like it, but maybe someone knows a way.
