thx Reynen for this GREAT MOD again and also for teh 1.4 patch.
However, I have found that the shield infocards are still not fixed. This is a minor issue but sometimes it really confuses me as the label on the equipment is different from the one on the infocard.
Also, about the gunboat turret hardpoints. Previously you said that if people wishes to unmount the shadow beam from a shadow ship and equip something else, then that's their problem. I totally agree with that. However, when asked the same thing about gunboats, you said that people should not be allowed to mount lev. 1-9 turrets on them because it will make the gunboat able to fire continously for a very long time. I respect your opinion but I disagree. My reasons are:
1. All the ships (except capital) can mount equipment equal or lower than the hardpoint level. Take, for instance, the starflier you get when you start a new game. That ship (when mounted with three lev.3 punishers [the starting equipment), will be able to fire continously forever. If this choice of mounting equipment is available to all ships but capital, then why won't you allow them for capital ships?
2. Not allowing lev.1-9 turret/guns (depending on the ship) on shadow ships is fine because it comes with fully preloaded equipment. However, the gunboats only come preloaded with one main turret. The rest are vacant slots. What if the player doesnt even HAVE any lev. 10 turrets. Does that mean that the player will have to fight with two guns/missiles and one main gun?
Anyways, this is your mod, so you're in charge. The above points were only suggestions. If you like them, incorporate them. If you dont, just say you dont and I'll forget about it. (dont worry I wont get mad
)
Thanks again for this great mod!

P.S. plz dont throw away the battleships. They make the game ALOT more interesting (combined with other capital ships)
