I like this idea as a temp solution to my problem - w/some tweeking of the cost/resource req'mt I suppose.
the quest now becomes will the computer recognize this new wpn ability and use it in place of minesweepers or will it continue to go for minesweeping components? I would assume that it won't use it if it's a new compon'nt w/o mod'ing the comp design files of the comp'tr and if its just a new ability added to PD wpns the compt won't recognize the new ability and thus use it either.(for dual mine clearing/PD duties)
I'm still not givin up on my Disposable Mini Sweeper component...
Yup.. the AI understands this change... it uses it both in point-defense and minesweeping duties. The component design files have only the call for ability: Minesweeping.. as the point-defense is now the only component with minesweeping abilities it adds them instead of those old minesweeper components. I did not even have to touch designcreation files to get it working...
