Finally I have made cargoless colony comps, they seem to work OK as far as design is concerned

... but I don't know if AI manages to colonize in this case (ie you have to put a pop trans along the colonizer to have the colony produces anything). I'll have a look...

Look in settings.txt, there's an entry to make colonies start out with a certain amount of population.

I was using DavidG's Tech/Facility/Component Viewer, and I think I found 2 small bugs:

1) Commercial Grade Contra - Terrene Enigines I generate 2 movement points, but II and III generate 3. The Military grade all generate 3. This makes the Commercial a better choice for this limited point in the tech tree.

2) ECM III, IV, and V all come at Combat Support level 3.

So what is going on with this mod?

I reccommend making the Military grade engines slightly smaller, rather than increasing thrust.

That will give you finer control over the value difference between the engine types.

Another question. I noticed in the new mod 1.08 that the external mount missles were supposed to be taken out. However, I noticed that I can still research them. Should this be so? Or am I thinking that something completely different was taken out.

The mounts were taken out, were similiar to the mounts for weapon types, in that you could have the smae weapon, PDC for example, as a heavy mount, or large, or pulse, etc...

Mounts for missiles don't work correctly, and it is a hard code issue, so nothing I can fix.

External mount missiles were/are entirely different components. They are single shot missiles, (reload time of 30), that take up on 10 kT of space as opposed to regular missiles, with 40 kT(IIRC) of space. So, you can load more of them, but once they fire, they are done for that combat. It simulates a large number of missiles in tow, or mounted externally to the the ship, and are used to overwhelm the enemies point defense in the initial barrage.
