"With respect to 3) Fleet Global Components, they all seem to serve a similar purpose. Does anyone of the components have an adavantage over the others?"

Other than being cheaper to research and/or cheaper in minerals/orgs/rads, no. Not in the standard game.

Another Component for Category 3 is:
Quantum Reactor: Infinite supplies, which are shared amongst the fleet.

Yes, I could expand the topic to include other categories than just sensors...

Anybody know of other components which can be shared with ships of a different design?

Hey guys!

I haven't received any critiques on my presentation! Is it that good, that nothing more can be said about it? Or is it so bad, nobody wants to touch it with a ten foot pole?

Have some ideas about adding some explanatory notes. But before I do that, I'd like to know if it more or less accomplishes my objective - giving the newbie a basic knowledge on selecting the sensors that are available to him for installation in his ships and specifically which sensors are shared.

So some feedback (negative or positive) would be appreciated.

Like the following could be improved...

Quote:
3) Fleet Global Components confer benefits not only upon the installed ship but with sister ships of the fleet. – 1 per fleet

3) Fleet Global Components confer benefits not only upon the installed ship but with sister ships of the fleet. – 1 per fleet (select 1 of the 5, the 5 components basically do the same thing)

tbontob,

Sorry for not checking in sooner (that damn job thing keeps getting in the way). It think your summary looks like a darn good start. Great work. I am digesting some suggestions for you, but I'll have to check in a bit later.

I do believe that you should limit the information to just sensors, for the sake of simplifying things.

Perhaps the quantum reactor info will fit better under a different section, such as:
I. DESIGNS AND COMPONENTS
a. SHIP COMPONENTS
b. FLEET COMPONENTS
1) Quantom Reactor

Just brainstorming...

Hi Stone Mill

Thanx for the feedback.

What you have said mirrors my own sentiments.

So I thought I'd just hang in there to see if there were other components were were shared in addition to the quantum reactor.

When I started this thread, I felt there were more shareable components than what we were able to come up with. I wonder if there is a general feeling of a let down in the realization that there are so few.

So I think I'll just hang for a while to see if there are any suggestions for improvements.

Hmmm...I am thinking of an addendum about which level of sensor beats the level of another sensor.
