Scenario/Campaign and Scripted Events

Cool. Is there someplace I can readup on that?

Also, is it possible to create components for which only one can exist in your fleet at a time? e.g. if a ship with "Captain Jones" component is built in the fleet, another ship with the "Captain Jones" component cannot be built until the other "Captain Jones" ship no longer exists? (due to destruction, decommission or refit...er, retrofit)

Nevermind on that one, I found the script.pdf. I'll give myself a duh on that one. I'm so busy writing up characters and story line I'm not researching code elements yet.

Yes, I've already experimented with such components.

Would it be possible to code such a thing in using scripts? I suppose I could always do it in a scripted way with a new ship design or some such would automatically transfer the 'flag'; or when a specific event occurs it also spawns an upgraded flag ship.

I'd still like to code in one component per empire if that is possible.

A good story can't be told w/o a cast of characters after all.
