That is absolutely Possible, if I get what you are saying. I have already made some decent mods of this purpose. I have made five levels of engines with cruise charge time and energy consumption differences as well as speed differences. to go with these I have made seven level of powerplants each with a higher recharge rate and thruster rate to go with my own thruster I tweeked. With all these modifications I can start with a heavy fighter capable of lvl 10 weapons and isn't any better than the startracker for power and be able to customize it to your desire. All the engines and powerplants are buyable and equipable. I am sure other Modders have already done this since it isn't all that hard. Adding the infocards were a pain though. I just used the thruster icon for the engine and the sheld battery icon for the powerplant since I can't add/change icons. For the most part these ideas have been discussed in other threads, but they tend to be all over the place.

Could you send me a copy as well? I'm tweaking the engines and powerplants for each ship( to make them a bit more individual) but I like your idea too. Hopefully someone (or M$/DA) can make ships fully upgradable, after all, your ship is supposed to be your 'avatar'.

@ TobMaster

Can you send me a copy? Sounds like you already did all the hard work. I would like to incorparte it into my SandBox MOD if you do not mind. I will give you the credit; it is much faster than recreating the hard work you already have done.

I can not presently find it for download at any afor mentioned websites...THX a bunch, I would enjoy using it

Alright guys. I whipped up a page to download it from a few seconds ago. I warn you it looks terrible, but it will give you the files you need. Feel free to borrow and use anything you find, just give me a little credit.

you can find it here, there is limited bandwidth so it may be slower than good sites.
