If you remember it had system ships which were not capable of star travel (they did most the fighting) Warpships had a Warp Generator. Can a component be designed in SEIV to allow for warp generators? Dictating which ship types can move between stars. Also a component called a ship rack allowed Warp ships to carry system ships. Can this component be designed for SEIV? Allowing Warp ships to "drop off" system ships for combat, after reaching a star system.. Just thinking about these mods in advance...
Larry--the non-programmer but big imagination... I'll learn enough to mod this game or eat dirt.

If MM would implement a couple of things you could do this.

First, the 'ability required' setting for warp points. Then you could make transit through a warp point require a special ability in the ship. You could then have a 'jump drive' component in the game, and ships without the jump drive would be able to carry more armament and defenses of course.

Second the ability of ships to carry other ships. We've requested 'docking bays' for bases before. Like so many other things, we've never heard any response one way or the other.
