You can have as many of any component as you like, except for those that are specifically restricted to one per ship, or such.

Adding too many engines can have wierd effects, but the limit is 5120kt worth of thrust. Beyond that, it wraps around to zero and starts counting up again.
Don't worry about ever seeing it crop up in a Gritty game.


Those upgrade issues were fixed a couple patches ago...
I'm not sure why the PBW game hasn't updated to use them.
Numerals fixed for v1.11

You da man! Thanks for the ECM / Scanner numbering fix.

The current Gritty game is winding down, so I think we'll just use the new version in the next game that is in the works.

The game has finished with Emperor's Child and Violist destroying my homeworlds.
It was one of the best pbw games I've played. Thanks Everyone

Those last few turns were some of the most thrilling I've had in a game, and unfortunatly luck seemed to go my way. In our initial engagements I lucked out by putting my forces where they stumbled into your fleets as they were assembling for defense, defeating them in smaller portions before they could assemble and swarm my smaller fleet.

Same type of lucky break when I made a run at your home planets, My attack fleet managed to cripple ships in your defensive fleets sent to stop them while not getting slowed themselves, got away from 2 major engagements and parked on top of your other homeworld, albeit broken, battered, bleeding, and running on fumes.

This was a case where I took a gamble and it paid off.. In our early skirmishes I lost a key supply ship that was bringing critical supplies, so I had to decide whether or not to continue the attack to your home system with low supplies or go to the defensive on the warp point. Ultimatly I thought that if I had gone defesive I'd give you the initiatave so decided to continue on regardless.

If I'd lost that battle in your home system you had the advantage in construction facilities and could have easliy out-produced me to regain lost territory.

If I had one that battle for my homeworld I would have been able to battle back because I had finally fixed my economy. It was quite a game.
