need help, "possible" modding bug

About the second question:
Possible reason of your problem is that Cargo component has only 1 level to research, while Unit launch comp has few more tech levels (ie, 4-5 lvls). When evaluating comps to choose the best, AI will most likely choose lvl 5 comp (unit launch with cargo) than lvl 1 comp (true cargo), though lvl 1 comp has better cargo/space/cost value.
Though I don't know your design, you may try to split Cargo comp tech to more levels (at least as many as Unit launch tech has).
Also check your AI_Research.txt file to make sure that AI will research Cargo tech earlier than Unit launch tech.

At all times, the cargo components must have the biggest/highest cargo storage ability. Also check for double spacing in the files you have altered that could account for the other problems.

hey again

figured the problem out. It was indeed a double space entry just before for the first small projectile gun entry. FS

thanks for the help !

For the cargo thingy, its indeed as TNZ stated. The AI dont divide the tonnage by the cargo space to get the best cargo/tonnage component, it just takes the one with the biggest cargo space, unimportant how big it is

thanks !!
