Default Re: Babylon 5 Mod

Two thoughts:
1. Rather than being concerned to ensure that repair tugs can fulfill the unique mission of black hole rescue, why not eliminate the black hole sectors? This is what I have done with Version 2.0 anyway, as the AI simply cannot handle black holes with early colonizers (speed 2) and just keeps sending them into the black hole sector. Black hole systems aren't part of the B5 universe anyway.

2. You can restict maint bots to larger ships (if you really want to) simply by making them too big to fit on smaller ships and then creating a mount that reduces them back to the "right size" that can only fit on ships above your threshold size.

As an aside, I currently have a self-repair capability in the "unique ship type" hulls that can only be acquired via ruins plus research, but other than that don't have shipboard repair.
