As modifiable as the game is, there are some limitations.

So you however could let choice between :
- "LR" mount with max missile range (having upped the missiles range themselves), mount size 125%
- "Normal" mount with somewhat reduced range (-2), size 100%
- "Small" mount with more range reduction (say -5), size 80%
Any ship could carry any mount, but you can tradeoff between say 3 LR mounts/4 normal/5 short.
Is it possible to have a "fast mount" with reduced reload time (to 2) ? How ?

Medium
PDF: Thats not a bad idea. I might look into that. There are no changes to reload rate allowed in the missile mounts, however.

Re: Proportions + Devnull + special ingredients = Derek\'s Mod Gold
Addendum: You can make all new components that launch faster, and thats one of the thoughts I have for Derek's Mod; missile launchers that have a faster rate of fire, at a cost of extra supplies, less damage, more cost, etc...

Also, I don't know if I requested this before; but, what about adding boarding party components to be utilized on gunship sized fighters, perhaps the ability to land troops on planets too(see above example of special forces). I don't know if this would be hard to mod in, it sure would be cool though.

Remember what I said earlier about how some things are unchangeable? Well, it appears that fighter type craft cannot be used to capture other ships, even if they mount boarding parties. It appears to be a hard code issue. If anyone knows more about this, let me know.

Re: Proportions + Devnull + special ingredients = Derek\'s Mod Gold
A note about future Versions of the mod:
It requires the image mod; all the images in the imagemod are from a variety of sources, including Proportions, Devnull, P&N, and many others. The point of the image mod is to download one set of images to be used for all mods, and put the imagemod files into your main SEIV pictures directory, thus decreasing the d/l size of the various mods out there, instead of having each mod come with its own images.
So, having said that, you can go to the main Imagemod page HERE
If you have trouble installing it, after reading the readme files, let me know, and I will do what I can to help, or refer you to someone who can. This will also be posted on the message when I upload the next Version of Derek's Mod Gold, sometime next week, most likely.

Re: Proportions + Devnull + special ingredients = Derek\'s Mod Gold
If you really want to do this, you could try using the allegiance subverter ability, although I think that might not be resisted by security stations.

Yes, I think you are right about that. It's too bad that the Master computer's ability to resist the subverter and it's ability to replace ship control functions aren't seperate abilities. Then you could mod something like this in I think and just give the security station the resists subverter ability.
