Official SE5 release date announced - September 12

[Raapys]

I've been wondering; is there, or will it be possible to mod in, optional weapon properties in the design window, ala MoO2&3? I.e., you first research the weapon, then additions to the weapon; miniaturization, continues fire(improved accuracy), weapon improvement, etc. In the design window you can enable the ones you want for an increase in cost, increase/decrease in tonnage used by the weapon, range, damage, etc. Same goes for missiles and such( i.e missile shield). I thought it a pretty neat option in the MoO games, unfortunately lacking in SE except for the limited 'mount' feature.
