[AJC]

I posted my Mount mod I used during beta testing. If you try it - I am interested in feedback !

Whats in this Mod:

Mount Modification for Base game. No technology changes. However technology will have to be researched to discover the new mounts.

Ships become much tougher in this mod. I compensated by incorporating miniturization into all of the advanced weapon mounts. To look at the mod look at the CompEnhancement.txt file. This file can be found in:

Space Empires IV\MountMod-AJC\Data\CompEnhancement.txt

Note:
Shield Generator mounts come in two types, the first level will only require you to research level 3 shields before the 1st generation shield mounts come into play for bases, 400+ KT ships and 200+ KT weapon platforms.

Some components will require research before new mounts are available. I.E. Shields level 3 and level 6, Armor level 6, Point defense 5

The following base technologies are required to activate most of the mounts :

-Advanced Military Science a Minimum level 4; up to level 6
-Physics 4
-Computers 6
-Applied Research 3

List of New Mounts:
2 types of Shield mounts, Armor mount, Improved Weapon mounts, Improved Weapons and Point Defense (using mounts), Seeker Mount, Miniturization of Components.
