There is a thread about this from more than one year ago:
https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/view ... 0#p5060180

I don't understand why the devs don't want to look into it!

6. Option to enable/disable components in the tech tree.
This would prevent researching/stealing and using components in ship designs.

I have seen two problems while playing with this mod:

- I had a station built inside a small moon.
- I have seen a constructor attempting to start the construction of a station around a small moon, but without success, and repeating the process endlessly.

@Jorgen_CAB: These are two great ideas, that should be easy to do.

I agree that the espionage part of the game need an overhaul.

I know this is an old thread, but in my game playing the teekan, i see the same problem.

Is that problem been addressed ?

(also the tech from salvage stay at 0 too).

If this is true, it is disappointing

I know that it's been suggested before, but here it goes:

Could we have policies for constructor/explorer/freighter; to ignore locations with known threat.

I agree, this UI is the worst part of the game.

I hope that the dev will take a look at this soon.

Thanks for your work.

@Jorgen_CAB, would you post your 'ComponentDefinitions.xml' file here, i would try it.

Could we have a repeat mission button for spy missions.

This would repeat a mission with the same parameters, when stealing tech:

Crashed while saving the game.
note: game started with 1.0.4.3
edit: Sorry, maybe it is because i am using the modloader...

I agree, please remove this auto-activation.

After modifying the values in the Policy files, like 'ConstructionMilitaryBuildRatioEscort', and deleting the file 'GameSettings'; when starting a new game, the value reset to 18%, not to the value that i put in the file.

I resized another bay to size 100, to add another large extractor:

ShipHull:
- update:
ShipHullId: 25
ComponentBays:
(item.ComponentBayId is 13):
MaximumComponentSize: 100

Do you think there is a way to put small mining extractors on mining stations ?

I tried that without succes:
- add:
DesignTemplateId: 33 # Large Mining Station
Role: MiningStation
CargoBayCount: 2
CommerceCenterCount: 1
DockingBayCount: 1
MiningComponentCount: 4
EnergyCollectorCount: 1 ...

Also maybe increase strength of armies but reduce their number, so you get less micro-management.

I did some test with the small exploration ship template:

By removing the line
ScannerShortRangeCount: 1
the auto design will put both kind of exploration sensors if you have them.

But if you put the line
ScannerExplorationCount: 2
and remove the ScannerShortRangeCount, the auto design will put ...

You did a great job !

But i would suggest 2 things:

1) The colony ship has the worst design because of the energy consumption of the Colony module.
Instead of doubling the output of the Fission Reactor, i would decrease the StaticEnergyUsed of the colonization module from 50 to 30.

2) For those ...
