Now that's annoying. If all these weird combinations work, why can't you make a research component or an intel component that contribute to your empire totals? These sector abilities should NOT be usable on components, they are space "terrain" features. Most of the facility abilities that SHOULD be useable on components are not. That's interesting that population happiness works, though. You could make a "Psychological Warfare" ship and send it with your fleets.
Or, make a "Propaganda" ship and use it to calm your own rioting populations. Cute.
