Maybe you wanted it to be like this but I can still build a few standard SEIV components when I use SW Tech. When using the SW tech you can still build: Cargo Bay, Mine Sweepers, Phased Polaron Beam, Ripper Beam, Incinerator Beam, Wave Motion Gun, Gravitic Sensors, Solar Sails, Solar Collectors, and Null Space Projectors.

Is this intentional, or did you leave them in by accident? Looking at the components.txt file it would seem that you did not make it a requirement to have standard SEIV tech to build these comps.

Those techs are not normally available for SW races (can't be researched), but can be obtained by analizing captured ships or traded.
A side efect of this feature is that they're available in full tech starts, but that's something unusual so it's no big deal.

About hyperdrives and fleets, I know it's annoying when you have large fleets.
But there is still no other ability that would make ships move fast in normal movements but not in combat.
Using 'Extra Movement Generation' as warp cores do, will make ships super-fast in combat.
