Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

I just ran another test game and that Sector - Sight Obscuration ability is definately working on ship components. It cloaks everything else except stars, warp points, storms and asteroids. This is in v 1.41. Any sensor that has equal or higher sensor level than the target sectors/ship components Sight Obscuration level can see everything in this cloaked sector. One bad side effect in this ability is the fact that it does not consume any suplies and it cannot be turned on/off.

What a very very very very cool component. You could have some great games with that.

Could you use the energy transmission lens (systm wide shield boost) ability on a component? Imagine a mod where even the most advanced shield generators only generate 10 shield points each and you need a "booster" ship to support each system.
