Default Re: Error in Component Enhancements file

Both of these "observations" are off the mark. The yield of shield strength per kt of component size is not improved by simply adding more shield components. And the "None" mount affects only the kt size and kt structure of non-weapon components. Also, the AI will use a "None" mount on EVERYTHING. Engines, Crew Quarters, ECM, everything. Ridiculous. But that's the AI. It will mindlessly use the 'best' mount available for anything.

We need a special mount that enhances shield power/size ratio just like weapon mounts enhance weapon damage/size ratio. This would reflect the same economics of scale that the weapon mounts are meant to reflect. Larger structures can be more efficient.
