Thanks, do you have any idea what determines what shows up when "see only latest"? Is it order in components.txt, roman numeral, whatever...

Adding a useless abilty to both could be the easiest way. I guess that trick can be used for other components that share the same ability as well (e.g. armor). Although it would complicate things, it is a nice way for an AI modder to use a specific component and optimize the designs. I guess some kind of index would have to be done that shows which useless ability causes what component to be added.
I would volunteer to do that, if we are going to make use of that. The question is: Is that really needed? How good to we want the AI to be able to use all the components that come with this mod? It is some extra work.

Geoschmo, what do you think? What does everybody else think?
