Glad you like the mod.

The disadvantage of ext mt missiles is that they can only fire once in a combat. Once they shoot, they're gone...and you're out of weapons (if that's all you armed with).

As for making them armor (along with other things as armor), I tried this for a while, but it turns out that this really screws up the AI designs. What happens is that it considers these things as "armor" when it designs ships and so you end up with designs that have no actual armor, but lots of wierd components like ext mt missiles or other things that weren't meant to be used like that. So I made them non-armor again and the AI is again designing good ships.

I actually really like that idea of resource storage combined with resource generation. I'll have to test it a bit and see how it works out balance wise. Maybe you'll see it in the next Version of my mod. Thanks for the idea!
