basic modding question

[Ragnarok-X]

okay, here is the deal. I just did some minor component modding, i guess what i want to do is not doable.

I created a hullsize which needs a bridge, 3 life support, 3 crew quarters.

Then i created a component which gives ship bridge ability, life support ability and crew quarter ability.
Now i want to make it that this component counts as THREE life support and THREE crew quarters. I thought this can be modded with the Value 1 and Value 2 numbers, but it dont seem to work.
Any workaround for this ?

In addition, is it possible to create a ship that actually needs TWO or more bridge components ?

Thanks everyone.


P.S. For modding purposes i need a cheat. I think there is a way how one can take control of an AI empire for just a turn (so i can see if they are doing right)
Is this possible ?
thanks !
