That's exactly what I mean. Test it well.

There was a thread a while back about to-hit penalties on weapon mounts causing negative to-hits, and crashing the game.

If you're using the To-Hit-Decrease ability, then it should be OK that way.

The other problem that WILL occur, is with the mount as well as with the WMG-style accuracy bonus (of 30%).
If your weapon has a +15% accuracy bonus, and your enemy has a +250% ECM device, you would expect your accuracy to be the minimum, 1%. But it is not! The actual accuracy is 16%.
Similarily, if you have a mount penalty of 30%, and a +250% combat sensor, your weapon accuracy is only 70%.

I will check into the details of this further when I get home.

i will give it a minus 100 for all weapons normally and the only way a weapon will work is if you give it a sun exclusive mount (heat resitint mount) witch improves their range and makes them a plus 100 evening out

Ooh, problem there. If somebody puts a weapon on, and its accuracy calculates out to a negative number, SE4 crashes.
Also, religious races will still get 100%.

Retrofits require the space yard ability.
You can make a space yard component that builds at a rate of zero, and repairs at a rate of zero. That will work for sure.

Monster shields... how about a high-energy slime barrier?

Ships/bases can retro themselves, but watch out, and don't try to upgrade your repair components all at the same time! You'll end up having all your parts damaged, and be unable to repair(install) the repair components

As for slowing ships down, you either have to blow away engines, or deplete thier supplies (by letting them shoot at you, is the way it usually happens).
Most strategies will have ships run straight towards you, so you could use a repulsor beam (push force = 1) to slow their advance by 1 square per turn.
