Star Trek Mod - Please need some help

Besides the destruction of boarding parties when they board, the space yard ability would force them to be one per ship max. It's best as a separate special purpose component IMO.

[Captain Kwok]

I agree - no reason to assign it with boarding parties.

Ya, just tried it; only one space yard per ship flag appears, zero build rate worked ok, and the 'analyze' button wouldn't activate while the componant was damaged. Looks like a separate componant would be the way to go.

[Fyron]

A build rate of 0 means that an infinite number of resources will be available for construction. You need at least 1.

[Captain Kwok]

Fyron tells me that 0 = infinite build rate, so perhaps a value of 1 would be ideal for the component.

[Atrocities]

I have to say this is a very interesting idea wyrm.

[AngleWyrm]

Thanks!

Maybe if all three build-with values are set to zero, then you get infinite build--dunno on that one. Just tried to construct a ship using one of these customized 'ship yard' ability componants, and the following code resulted in build time:Never
Code:

---

Number of Abilities   := 1

Ability 1 Type        := Space Yard

Ability 1 Descr       := Used to analyze captured vessels.

Ability 1 Val 1       := 0

Ability 1 Val 2       := 0

Did you wait a turn? I haven't explicitly tested component SYs, but I know that facilities with 0 rate will definitely give instantaneous building (one turn delay of course). It shows the build time as never, but it isn't actually never.
