Question: Why do you want the Crew Quarters and Life Support components to have mounts? I'd think the SE4 standard "x-amount required for this Y sized ship" would suffice.

It sounds like you're taking the components and scalling them down. The mount system in SE4, actually came about during the first Beta period, was designed to take components from the standard size and move up in range/power, not down. We weren't thinking of using mounts to "minatureize" components.

It seems to me a HH MOD could use the "Neutonian" system from the B5 MOD for the engines, a modified mount system for weapons and maybe side-wall generators. The only thing that'd be hard to do is the "fog of war" since SE4 doesn't have any.

I've only just began to read the HH books, actually reading "A Short Victorious War" right now. So I appologize now if these questions are obvious or dumb.
