You know modding weapons to target x component could raise interesting mods - ie a weaponn to target other weapons type - ie an weapon that targets say engine or shield depleting weapons - add a whole new dimension to offensive and defensive strategies and weapon choices when building ships - would also like to see in the basic unmodden Version and expansion to say another 3 - 5 ship sizes. And also another 2 types of base say 1 type at 1200 KT and another at 2200KT and perhaps an endgame 3500KT.

"4. Note - Spaceyards will not work on cloaked planets or ships"

well, they can cloak and de-cloak.

I believe the devnull mod monsters use bases with the sector obsuration ability. This will not affect the planets ability to build.

Say... are bases still lumped under "ships" for weapon targeting purposes? Especially now that you can specify vehicle types in a list, it would be kind of irksome if "ships" meant "ships" for design and "ships/bases" for targeting...

(And wouldn't it be neat if you had a mod where all the bases were really huge compared to the ships, or you want to keep your speed-1 Anti-Base Bombardment Missiles from firing on ships (which can evade them by means of a reverse missile dance), so it would make sense to have weapons that could target bases but not ships (or vice versa)?

'these sure are strange creatures. there seems to be no definite shape or size. maybe, if we watch long enough, one of them will wander away from the herd and i can catch it.'

I don't know, I am sure the creatures find you equally as destrubing.
