Thinking about the Missile Pod - How about creating a component that is really quite large cumbersome and somewhat pricey if its just placed on a ship.... Until you put it on a mount.

make a mount specifically for the missile pod that reduces its size/cost - the explanation that its a mounted pod. limit the size of a pod component by hull size.

The size of the Pod component could be a representation of multiple pods. Limit the pod to one per hull and increase fire power of the pod by 25% per ship hull size or something along those lines.

The mount(s) can be easily designed with the upcoming features for mounts in the next release!

"increase fire power of the pod by 25% per ship hull size or something along those lines."

Cannot be done; you can't change the number of drones launched with a mount, and you especially can't change the damage done by a drone by modding it's launcher.

Little off topic: Do you guys know that "On Basilisk Station" and "The Honor of the Queen" are available free for download from http://www.baen.com/library/ ?

The Free Library is hosted by the official Baen Books publishing company. It is not pirate.

Yep.

Could you model SD(P)s by creating a component called, oh, "Hollow Core Pod Launcher" that's limited to 1 per ship, takes up a huge amount of room, but can also launch /and/ store a very large number of drones?

Still doesn't seem to model them well, but it's the best shot yet.

(yes, I'm still working on this. Slowly.

Funny.

At the moment I'm re-working for the patch. Testing out different styles- haven't decided if the bigger energy weapons should just be mounts, or actual components. Leaning toward components, because then I can do other things with the mounts.
