On STM mod issues. There seems to be a little quark when I update a Shuttle design, It sometimes converts the armor to the armor that is used by troops.
This is likely caused by overlapping family numbers. It is easily solvable by making sure no components that have different versions for different vehicle types have the same family numbers.

I believe that I mentioned above that it is a bug with SEIV. This bug was reported before and the family numbers did not match when when I checked. I will doubl check again of course, but I am pretty sure its not an overlapping family number issue as it occures at irregular intervals and mostly with AI or Minister designed or upgraded designs.

Now small armor is used by both Fighters and troops. I think he is saying that the body armor used by infantry sometimes shows up on fighters. If that is the case then it is a bug with SEIV.

The body armor and small armor do share the same family number but do not share the same vehicle type for which they can be placed upon. I will change the family number for body armor to be on the safe side. The fact that it can sometimes appear on fighters (shuttles) is an SEIV bug.

The AI has a tendency to ignore restrictions. This is a pretty general bug that modders must work around.

Thanks, I pointed that out above too.

It is a bug, but it is easily worked around by verifying all involved family numbers and ensuring that their is a legal option for that ability call for all available vehicle types.
