I'll have to start a Full Tech game an try some things. Maybe a combonation of
Multitplex Tracking
Repulser Beams > Put in the design first > Push farthest ships away
Main Weapons have only closer ships to fire at?

Too easy, I mean, really why would I do it the easy way. Sheesh, Hmm, think anyone will figure out I used that method. := )

Sneaky Gryphin Thinking
Goal: Planetary Self Destruct Device
Work A Round: Cloaked with Star Destroyer sitting over your star.
Downside: A bit expensive and can be detected

Suggestion: Mine-Class cloaking built into a vehicle, with room for only: 1) A micromounted Star/planet killer, and 2) A micromounted one-mp emergency propulsion pod.

The mounts will allow you to restrict the components to that particular hull only, and you can add "one-per-vehicle" restrictions as well.

If it works, use a base hull. The emergency propulsion pod should allow you to use your device while not allowing movement.
Otherwise, just use a ship hull, and accept that it can be towed around by a repair ship.

SJ, Hmm, evil and if it works seemingly unstoppable.
I'll try to mod / build / test that for grins and the experiance.

Speaking of mods:
I hate loosing 10kt of space on my ships.
I'm guessing I can
Give a 10kt size to any component
I can see a reduced capacity 10kt:
Cargo Bay, PDC, Armor, ECM?, Combat Sensors?,
Any suggestions?
Questions:
Should a modded component cost more than the Fractional reduction in space?
IE if the 20kt Version cost 200 mineral, should the 10kt Version cost 100 or 125?

Should a "Swiss Army Knife" component cost more than the sum of its parts?
IE: 20kt ECM + Combat Sensors + Aux Bridge cost more than the sum of each of them separately?

IMO, the smaller component should cost slightly more (125), but should certainly be less efficient.
IE: 20kt cargo that gives 750 storage VS 10kt cargo that gives 300 storage.

Should a "Swiss Army Knife" component cost more than the sum of its parts?
IE: 20kt ECM + Combat Sensors + Aux Bridge cost more than the sum of each of them separately?

Definitely. It has the added value of saving 10kt of space, and reduced repair time.

SJ,
Thanks. This will get me on my way for the
