Default Re: New Facility Idea- What\'s your opinion ?

emergency housing my fuzzy white butt, i have been asking forever for a facility type that will add extra facility slots. that way you can build hive worlds and archologies that will hold more pop and facilities after they are done.

of course, they were never added. probably never will be.

another simple yet good add would be to allow components to take up negative tonnage. that way you could add expensive, yet tonnage increasing components. currently the only way to do it is via mounts.

edit for clarity: Baron had some sharp things to say. i was NOT comparing him to my fuzzy white butt. re: mounts, i was refering to mounts that make existing components smaller and increase their cost.

if you could have negative size on a component, you could research minitureization technology to gain access to a negative sized component, and add as many as desired to your ships. that way, you dont have to edit the entire tech tree. of course, once mounts are researchable, its can be solved that way as well (although not as open-ended as it would be with the component)
