Masters Mod v1.7 ( May the Masters be with You )

[Wolfman77]

I tried the assimilation masters last night. Kinda fun taking other ships with the nanites, but they seemed very powerful. once you get LC's the mount gives the nanites 100% chance to convert if they hit, and at range 2 they tend to hit alot. I was up against a race that used missiles alot, but even with the range advantage I could still take 3 ships very quickly. As soon as they start using MC's the nanites should become useless however. Also you may want to restrict them from Weapon Platforms, or make a different one that goes on them, the WP mounts make these very dangerous.

The special Life Support component that gives 5% reduction to maintenance stacks. A Space Station with 1 bridge 2 Crew Quarters and then filled with These Life Supports will net about 7000 each turn in minerals from negative maintenance. They also stack with the 100kT SY's 40%. You could limit them to 10 per ship in the restrictions line for the comp, the only ones who have acces to ships that need more than that are the Megascale. If you want people to be able to take more than one master trait for some reason you could make a second comp right below it without the restriction and having both master traits required.
