Next patch requests

[Nodachi]

The other new patch thread isn't really covering requests, so here goes...

Restricted traits in the racial traits file do not work.
Weapon mounts tied to a certain tech.
Weapon mounts able to give an ability.
Weapon mounts can affect range and damage, why not rate of fire?
I'd love to see restricted techs; because you have tech a you can't have tech b.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are plenty of others that y'all can think of.

ok, my 2 cents.

independent ministers to ships / units.
capability to select all planets / ships in they respective menu and change all to minister controled on / off
possibility to raise the number of ships / units in the game (host or single player)
send order to all ships of class /model x to be upgraded to class / model y
AI must have a history of relations and evolve based in that, because is stupid to offer a treaty one turn and declare war next.
ships with specific cargo capability (fighters / mines / sat) right now can load other type of cargo (must be fixed).
if a ship have a destination and not enough supplies to go, select the nearest supply depot, refuel and stay on course.

"ships with specific cargo capability (fighters / mines / sat) right now can load other type of cargo (must be fixed)."

Vote to leave that alone.

Things I'd like to see:
-add descriptions in the components.txt for to-hit modifiers! Too many people still underestimate the wave-motion gun because you can't tell it has a + to hit unless you take it into combat and compare or look in the text file.

I just can't resist the urge to jump in on this!!
(Taz's have notoriously low temptation thresholds)

I'd like to see:
COMPONENTS that can store resources
COMPONENTS that can do research/intel functions
TRANSPORTERS that can steal cargo!

Why not? space is space
In the real world, during a recent operation, they removed all the fighters off a Navy carrier and loaded it with choppers and made it a huge chopper carrier, because they were more needed than fighters. Part of a carrier's usefullness is its flexibility, so lets not restrict it overly

I was thinking of modding fighter bays to be able to launch both fighters and drones...instead of having two separate launch bays...
