Is there any way to make both a Fighter and Bomber tech or is that not possible? I'd like to know before I start trying to type it up if it doesn't work

You could make all weapons too large to fit on fighters and bombers, then add scale mounts to make the appropriate "fighter" weapons useable on fighters, and the appropriate "bomber" weapons useable on bombers. They would all be fighter vehicles, but you could restrict the weapons in this manner if you so choose... Take a look at those Adamant data files and the colony modules. They are massive, and you must use a Colony Mount to put one on a colony ship (which is the only ship that can ever carry a colony module, other than the Large Colony Ship ).

Cool I think I can figure out how to do that

Okay Last question for awhile I hope, is it possible to make weapons target subsystems (I.e. control center kill) weapons like a bridge destroyer or something? Or is it only possible to disable weapons and engines?

[Fyron]

Look in the file header in Components.txt. There are various "only X" damage types, but there is no way to arbitrarily define a weapon that damages a specific type. You could add an "only security stations" damaging weapon, then give all components with crew (CQ, Bridge, etc.) a security station ability of 1. It would simulate what you want reasonably well, and it would also aide in boarding attempts, due to removing some of those pesky security stations.

Sounds perfect for Corim and Hunter tactics.....oooh drools with anticipation
