Resource generation by units in cargo

Or allow modders to attach production modifiers to map objects, so that for a ship-borne research facility to be really effective it needs to be in orbit around an interesting star/ in a black hole system etc.

Or ship-borne intel gets a bonus when in orbit above an enemy planet, leading to cloaked recon ships...

Or, dare I hope, a bonus for research platforms in special systems? Or a bonus for intel ships while they're cloaked in enemy space?

Haven't seen this consideration yet...

Would intel and research points generated by units or ships be used in calculating trade bonuses?

Afterall, the remote miners don't count towards trade, right?

So I'm guessing that intel and research wil be handled the same way.

At Last! Real NOMADS that don't need planets to get Research and Intel points!!!

I predict the P&N Mod will need a MAJOR rewrite!!!

Doubtful, but that would be a great suggestion for se5...

I would like the population that is in the cargo hold gradually increase in size, or decrease if lethal components are present, much like Stars!
