Components are working almost the way they should (the way i think they should work). Only problem with components is in Groups where all the members of the group use the best component ability that the group has. I was talking of components in my previous post...

There are only a few types of units that can be in the same space, fighters, WP, mines and sats I think. It would be interesting to see what would happen if you gave offense plus and defense plus to a sat in the vehicle file. Would you have similiar weirdness happening?

Yes.. i think this bug/feature concerns all units (weapon platforms,fighters,satellites,troops etc...).
Though the only one that suffers from this bug/feature in basic game are the fighters since they are the only ones that have combat modifiers from VehicleSize.txt file...

Does this also affects troops?

VehicleSize.txt file bug/feature no, because troops dont have any combat modifiers from there. Component bug/feature.. maybe, it's pretty hard to check because you cant see their modifiers during ground combat...
