Default Re: Antares Mod preview

You can fairly easily use the same scale mount for a wide range of components... Just set up a standard range of scale mounts, and fiddle with the base size of each component to make it a different size for each ship hull. You can even use shield generators with the same mount, as the shield modifier will be ignored on non-shield generator components. All you are really doing is just scaling all of the components. So what if it is by the same factor? That doesn't mean all scaled components will be the same size... You can even just have two Versions, one that modifies structure and one that doesn't, if you want some components to have the same amount of structure irregardless of size...
