That is not correct. Any fractions are always rounded down, but a minimum of one component will be added.
SPO=10000 is commonly used to add one component to a design (note: if the hull is bigger or equal 20000, two components will be added).

Atrocities, your examples would work like this:

code:

---

hull size  spaces per one  num of components

100 kt     100             1

200 kt     100             2

300 kt     100             3

400 kt     100             4

800 kt     100             8

200 kt     400             1

300 kt     400             1

400 kt     400             1

800 kt     400             2

1200 kt    400             3

Fyron gave me an example, if the abilities value is 1000 then a ship would have to be 1000kt to have this ability added. This does not make sense to me as the AI adds these abilities to much smaller ships.

You forgot the other half of that paragraph, which stated that the AI will always add at least one component with each ability called for (that does not have a spaces per one of 0) if it is able to.

Thanks guys, I do really appreciate the info.
