Custom Unit Types
All of the ship and unit types (ship, base, fighter, satellite, etc.) are really defined by a set of attributes or flags - "can move", "can warp", "can be carried as cargo", "launches in Groups", "consumes supplies just by sitting there" etc. So why not allow modders in SE5 to create their own unit types with whatever combinations they want - a fighter that can warp, a ship that consumes supply every turn, drones that launch in Groups, etc. I can try to draw up a complete list of these abilities and which ones are prerequisites or mutually exclusive...
