So I like this expansion that awards players with these stronger one per faction components. Yes, I can create one strong ship excellent. Oh no I just developed a new engine and forgot to put it on that ship. No problem I'll just upgrade it. Oh I can't as it seems that not only can this only be placed on one ship, I am unable to retrofit said ship with other new technology? So why is this? I understand the one component per faction, however, you should be able to continue to upgrade said ship as many times as you'd like until it's destroyed.
Is this a bug or by design? I hope it's a bug and will be fixed...
Thanks
I'm a little more than 100 turns into a game with this feature (was playing campaigns for a while) and I agree it makes a lot of sense that you should be able to upgrade one of these ships. Or at least decommission it and get the ship component back.
You can limit the problem by only using prototype engines and weapons on that ship.
But the two things that are going to be annoying with increasing technology is capacity and range.
There is no prototype range component..... there should be!
If there was a prototype range component, i would be happy with that, problem solved.
You can decommission it and get the component back. I've done it numerous times in numerous different games.
I think only upgrading is bugged.
I had noticed other funny thing. Any ship (with acceptable hull) can be upgraded to the design with One-Per-Faction component if there are no ships of this design.
But also you can actually upgrade all ships of some design to the design with One-Per-Faction component at the Govern screen. And all of them will be upgraded, so you can get a lot of ships with powerfull components.
Couldn't do this w/ my current game. I attempted to upgrade my ship to a core ship and then upgrade it back to the One-Per-Faction Component ship and wouldn't give me the option to upgrade it to that ship and in ship yards still can't build it.
You should decommission ship with One-Per-Faction Component, because if you upgrade it to the core or custom design (without One-Per-Faction Components) the game will still count this ship as one that have One-Per-Faction Component.
...and this is not so funny thing. A bit flawed DLC.
You can decommission it and get the component back. I've done it numerous times in numerous different games. I think only upgrading is bugged.
Good to know, thanks!
It's not so much bugged as not accounted for, upgrading uses a different system, that dose not currently account for unique component. I will see what we can do to make it support it. It might have to wait for Crusade, but I will see if we can get it dressed before that.
