NOOOOooooooo

so, we still dont have a mount that works for both weapons and non-weapons? so, i have to work around it by giving useless weapon abilities to the non-weapon components that I want covered in the mount? so, strategic combat will likely be assed up as a result.

grrr.[/QB]

hmm, how about making two identical mounts? one using ANY the other NONE..
of course i don't know what you are trying to accomplish.. so i shut up now

Ok. Puke I see what you mean. Perhaps this was just a miscommunication. What do you suggest? I guess what we need is a third term besides 'any' and 'none'. One that includes every component. I am sure Aaron would be happy to add it, I am not sure anyone has made it clear that is what we were asking for. This is an improvment over both of them being the same.

Not sure why I haven't thought of this before, but maybe for a patch or SE5.

Why not make the available on/targets field comma seperated lists, like the "family list" restriction added recently for mounts?

I thought of that too. It would be nice, but it has pretty much been covered in a round-about fashion now.

regarding my obsolete problem
This is strange. I just noticed that an older, upgraded and retro-fitted base design did get deleted. Does the game limit the deletions to one per year perhaps? This is frustrating. I know I can hide the obsolete designs, and not have to look at them all time, but I really hate clutter, even in my games.

(And i wish my left shift key worked better)

I just want everything huh? how about a million bucks on a silver platter delivered by Tia Carerra?

My understanding is that obsolete designs are deleted at the '1 year' mark. So turn .0 or .1 is the only time that designs are checked, and those which are obsolete and don't have any existing ships are deleted.

There is no limit to the number of ship designs deleted when it deletes obselete ones.

Maybe SE4 only deletes designs when there are none of the ships that were originally built of that type left in the game? If this is so, then retrofitted ships would still keep the old design around. If not, then SE4 is totally insane.
