basic modding question

[hicksz]

geoschmo already talked about some of this but I'll still post what I wrote.

I'm not sure about your component ability involving multiple Vehicle Control abilities. I have to give that a try later when I get the chance because I'm at work. Hopefully someone can help you right away with this issue.
I notice when you design a ship in your design window, it won't allow you to add another bridge. But you can add extra master computer components. Sometimes in star trek, some ships have a battle bridge, so I created a component for that but it based off the Auxiliary Control component not the bridge component. So I'm not sure if it is possible to create a ship with two or more bridge components. You might be out of luck or create a bridge but base it off the Auxiliary Control component like I did.

Is this possible ?
thanks !

To take control of the AI, when you are in a game, go to the main menu and their should be a tab for players (going off memory) and you should see a list of all the races that are playing for the game. Uncheck the AI race you want to control and hit the end turn button. You can see what they did up to that point. If you want to give the race back to the AI, go back to the players tab and recheck the box for the AI race.

Hope that helps.

thanks for the help everyone.

If you have further ideas about the multiple vehicle control abilitys thingy, please post them !

One component can only count as one LS and/or one CQ (it can be both, as well as a bridge!). Giving it extra abilities does NOT allow it to fulfill extra requirements of the hull.
