Deathstalker,
I like this sort of stuff. I did someting like this Last year for myself with the hardened/armored components, but I scrapped it because I thought it would cause problems with the AIs. You could get some HUGE armors, organic, ouch, and I was afraid the mounting of 150% upsized components would cause the AI to 'squeeze out' some semi-critical components during design or otherwise cause it to make some odd designs.

It might also screw the AI from building a ringworld/sphereworld as if it for some reason decides to 'armor' the components they won't fit on anything. Of course, who cares here maybe, as I've never even built one myself let alone seen an AI do it.

Just wondering if you'd had any problems like I outlined?
