Resource generation by units in cargo

[Paul1980au]

Perhaps low orbit research and intel facilities ? interesting perhaps a penalty on those planets where they are in orbit.

Perhaps a cap could be placed on the amount of research and or intel projects could be placed in each empires territory or even in individual systems.

Also perhaps a higher maintence cost for such components. Its interesting or just allowing them on bases only. ?

Or allow modders to attach production modifiers to map objects, so that for a ship-borne research facility to be really effective it needs to be in orbit around an interesting star/ in a black hole system etc.

Or ship-borne intel gets a bonus when in orbit above an enemy planet, leading to cloaked recon ships...

Will the resource-generating attribute work on Units?

yes

Will it work on Units while in cargo?

no

Or, dare I hope, a bonus for research platforms in special systems? Or a bonus for intel ships while they're cloaked in enemy space?

Haven't seen this consideration yet...

Would intel and research points generated by units or ships be used in calculating trade bonuses?

Afterall, the remote miners don't count towards trade, right?

So I'm guessing that intel and research wil be handled the same way.

At Last! Real NOMADS that don't need planets to get Research and Intel points!!!

I predict the P&N Mod will need a MAJOR rewrite!!!

Doubtful, but that would be a great suggestion for se5...
