Yeah, but if MM wants to make the game really mod friendly (more so than it already is ) why not take it all the way and come up with a method for us to use custom dummy abilities?
Of course, this would be something for the future, for now, kill those bugs!
Well, turns out it was alot easier than using the ability stuff, I got the Get_Design_Specific_Component_Count to work, meaning I don't need to check for any abilities at all. It would be nice if it actually worked on the engine requirements themselves, though, instead of having to give that requirement to every single ship.
