Looking for help with mod ideas

Hmm.. I just realized that custom component SLOTS are specifically mentioned as allowed in the mod guide. Maybe I should work with those instead.

Comments? Advise? Naysayers?

There are other target types you can use- Planet, Star, Mine, etc- but as far as I can tell you can't make new ones.

Limiting components by slot is a good way to limit them to specific ships, though.

Custom slots are good. Especially if you're using a component that each race has different versions but you want to limit their number in a ship. If you just put "Only 1 component allowed per ship" restriction you can still have 1 from every race. So you need a custom slot to do that. I made one for TPM sometime ago.
