Very nice.

You would also have to take good care of all those ships you buy from the neutral, since the special components can't be repaired (unless you give the ship back).

Some ideas:
- 1% maintenance component (as in P&N nomads)
- Organic Armor style regenerating internals.
- "Infinite PD" cannon. Very expensive, range 1, but has a reload of zero, thus destroying absolutely any unit that comes in range. Will likely use up all your supplies in the process.
- Perfect Simulators. Facility (or base component, so it can be sold easily) that allows training upto 50%.
- Distributed MC. Ship cannot be captured by Psy Subverters, since the MC ability is built into the hull. (Still requires normal C&C to be designed in)
- Ship-based Massive Energy Lens. Large (~750KT) component which adds lots (~500) shields to all ships in the system.
