Hey Everyone,

I'm working on my mod, and I noticed ships trying to retrofit but the cost preventing them (error message) when the AI ships try to do this. Obviously this is annoying to have ships wasting their time and supplies trying to retrofit when they cant. I was wondering if anyone has a bright idea on how to check the cost of the retrofit?

The only thing I can think of is to check the total cost of the new design versus the old, and if above a certain percentage more than the old just skip the retrofit (say 15%). But this is obviously a weak solution at best. Either blocks some legitimate upgrades, or misses some too expensive ones, or both.

As subject said, how to make it? I changed the requirement of Life Support from a fixed number to a variable one depending on how many Crew Quarters are on it. But I don't know how letting the descrition field display the exact number...

Example: a Frigate require Crew Quarters for 50 crew member. If I put in only one Crew Quarters I need to put in this ship only Life Support for 50 crew members. But if I put in one more Crew Quarters component, the this ship need Life Support for 100 crew members.

But I don't now how to display this variable amount...

Any help?

It's possible to create a new type of slot? I mean... I want to add "Engine Slot" and "Weapon Slot" th the 3 classical slot types. It's possible?

I see a button that says Create Item List...I press it it prompts me for a name I put one in...I hit OK. And now how do I fill it up with something?
