Is it possible to specify that a particular weapon mount can be used on one hull size only? It is obvious how to limit them to a particular hull size and above, but I want basically a different mount for each ship class, and have them not be interchangeable. Is this possible?

If you have Gold, you can..sort of. Gold allows you to specify a max size as well as a minimum size. Set them both to the same size and only that specific hull size can use the mount.

If you've patched to the Lastest (1.78) patch, yes.

"Vehicle Size Maximum (Optional)
The maximum tonnage size the vehicle can have to allow this mount."

If I add in a line for it similar to the minimum size line, it will work?<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The option is not used in any default tech mounts, but the description is there at the top of the file, along with many other new gold options.

Maybe you'll get fewer stupid questions from me now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif then again, maybe not...
