There is a new one, "War of Honor"

Make there be a "Large Armor" thet = 10 normal armor
same with shiedls crew corters etc.

The AI will try to use the most recent=lowest component in the list, even if it means squeezing a 500kt life support component into a 150kt escort.

Well, if that's the only way, I'd live with clicking.

When I say a lot of clicking I'm not kidding. Currently it would take 250 LS components to balance out a SD using Destroyer-sized LS.

Hmm, actually there are 10 books with 3 other books set in the HH universe: "More Than Honor" "Worlds of Honor" and "Changer of Worlds"

I've read both "More Than Honor" and "Worlds of Honor" as well as starting the series. I'm about done with "The Short Victorious War" and look forward to the rest of the series.

I bought "War of Honor" from the local B&N... though I found it cheaper on Amazon. As a bonus, the book comes with a CD-ROM containing all HH books in electronic format, and also cover art, and other graphics. The books are in multiple formats: HTML, MS Reader, Rich Text, and two other eBook reader formats.

It was a good deal for me since I haven't been able to find all the books.

for grit, i am using standard size control components, and requiring 1 per 500KT or fraction thereof. it balances fairly well, i think DNs take 14 and baseships take 30 each of crew/life support.
