Long, rambling post about ship hulls (v0.4.5 b2015-09-01)

Aside: Geoff introduced backend code for ship parts that can produce PP and/or RP so we can make factory ships, research vessels, etc. I haven't had time to even look at it, but it'd be cool to see, if anyone wants to give setting up such things a go they'd get help.

sounds like fun,is it possible to have ships that extend supply lines as well?

No idea. Refuelling out of supply is definitely possible, which is sort of the same thing, not sure I'd want a ship you can put into a dead zone to link two systems up, but it could be w2orth thinking about.

ive been playing around with factory/research parts,and made two ship parts that increase the target RP/PP,the Research part only affect planets within 2 starlane jumps,and the Factory part affects planets in-system,ill make a thread for it next time im online (only 3 minutes left at the library computers),going to play around with the bonus being based on number of ships in the fleet.
