Cargo idea

[zen.]

I think the cargo loader would fall under the security component. You put cargo bays in, then put internal defenses in...this works out. As a side note, I assume that one armed marine could ventilate the loader before it even gets close enough to use its claws.

I like the idea of the auxiliary control, though! An inherent defense value for it would be GREAT. Other than that, has ANYONE ever found a use for these things?

When I'm using my P&N hardened bulkheads, the occasional shot will penetrate the armor. So I always add the AuxCon, just incase the bridge (or MC) takes that unlucky piercing damage.
Since I still have lots of hitpoints left, I can make good use of the AuxCon for the next few turns.
Since I then don't lose half my movement, I can get out of range of the enemy, or manouever in and finish them.
