modding tricks?

[spoon]

Two questions:

1) Is it possible to make a vehicle type that is required to have x% of a component type other than what is listed in vehicleSize.txt...
-----
Requirement Pct Fighter Bays := 0
Requirement Pct Colony Mods := 0
Requirement Pct Cargo := 0
-----
For example, can you make a Missile Frigate hull size that is required to have 50% capital missile components? (bonus question: How does the game check that there is, for example, x% of Fighter Bays present? Is it a property of Fighter Bays, or is it hardcoded?)

2) Can you make a component that renders a weapon inneffective, like what Master Computers do to Allegence Subverters? For example, could you make a Special Shield component that made Phased Polaron Beams deal no damage to ships when it is present? (Bonus Question #2 - How does the game know to make an allegence subverter not work when a Master Computer is present? Is it a property of the Master Computer, the Subverter, or is it hardcoded?)

Thanks!
