Thanks everyone for the response.

Baron,
I think there already is a racial trait to extend supplies; I think its Advanced Power Conservation or something like that. However I do like the idea of increased storage capacity. Maybe if I made a mod that DECREASED the Kt of components for a specific racial tech / advantage.

Maybe this is not possible; any modders know the answer. I'm interested in this not for me, but for the AI. I like to play out my battles in tactical mode and that (tactical) gives a big advantage to a human player vs. strategic (move, fire, move and other tactics). I know that I could choose not to use some of those unfair advantages, but that's difficult in practice to say "Now don't do that 'cause you'll win too easily." However, I would love the challange of trying to take out ships that have 20% more firepower than mine. I think it might even help balance the AI within tactical combat mode.
