I noticed something similar in the Rage setup. The hull spaces number for SYs was set to 400, so maybe that was it. I tried going into components.txt and setting the "only 1 per ship" restriction, but haven't gotten far enough in my current game to check and see if the Rage design an SYS with two SYs again.

I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"

Sorry to be a pain, but I still have Q's. If I Intell the design from an enemy, can I now build it?? - or must the Minister design it. See, I really don't want to give it to myself without having to 'work' for it - I'll Intell it away from the AI if I can. I should at least be able to Crew Insurrect it. Also, want to plan defense for human players using these (however, I don't think there's a whole lot of defense strategy for double build points!!!)

I'm pretty sure the minister must design it, I've never been able to do it myself. I don't capture many ships so maybe just getting a sample is enough.

Yes, Nim.. I was asking about the cut and paste in mid game. I'm glad its not doable... because it would be, to me, and exploit. Thanks.
