A question about setting up designs. DevNullMod.

The reason those are in the same weapon family is mainly for AI ship design. If they are in different weapon families then AI ship design has fewer choices about PD weapons to choose from.

Actually, in the mod I'm making I have my two PDs with different families... and using the secondary weapon option works just fine. Granted, you lose a bit of flexiblity... but there isn't any other way to specify the exact type you want.

O.T.
Dev,
In case you check back in on this thread I found a problem with shields on Weapons Platforms in your mod. On a high tech start shields are not available on Weapons Platforms with "show latest". You get hardened regenerators instead. Can't find your original thread about your mod or I'd post this there.
Sorry to interrupt.

Actually, I'd have to agree...but it's with shields in general. When I upgrade, it automatically puts the hardened shields in place of the regular/phased shield generators. I haven't scoured the components file to figure it out yet, though.

Re: upgrading WP's replaces shield generators with hardened regenerators

The problem is probably with the component family number. That's how the computer keeps track of upgrade paths...
