Re: Somethings
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.

Re: Somethings
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.

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