David G. Could you private message me about your source code. I am just wondering if it is available. Thanks....

Request.

1. The ability to copy a component as a source for a new component.
2. The ability to add additional levels to Tech Areas and the ability to add new tech Areas

1. Is actually already there. If you view a component and change it's name it will ask you if you want to edit the old component (ie give it a new name) or save it as a new component

2. Is definatlely in the works.

Cool! Although I've never really figured out how (or why) one would do a tech tree in SE4. It's just that the tree seems so linear if you know what I mean. as in non-tree like. ie Chemestry leads to Armor which leads to Armor 2. No branching off. Actually this makes me wonder if anyone has a mod with a more tree-like tech tree.

I am currently building one. A tech- grid mod.

About the tech tree, if you look only at the tech areas, it is very flat, only about 3 levels deep, however if you look at the techlevels, it's very deep, but very little branching, escpecially at the weapon techs.

Shield Damaging Weapons was the "deepest" tech area, it requires Shields, which requires Physics IIRC.

I tried, it ended messily. Any questions?
(though I suppose the multi-warhead missiles is what REALLY killed it)
