Researchable Ship Sections

[matix522]

Hi,
I'm part of Star Trek New Horizon Team, and I want to ask, are you going to add option to ships core sections to be reserachble? I know that i can simply create a new ship clas but we dont want to have too much of them. In late game it would be annoying to chave 6 corvet classes etc. For now we are using our own system of GFX chane as a way to show an era progression, but Researchable sections will allow us to make technolgical progression of star trek much more user friendly.

Sorry for my poor English.

Also, being able to make sections obsolete too...

Well, I am semi guessing, but if its possible at all, go to
ship_section_template = { } of respective section
and try putting inside some triggers such as:

ship_section_template = {
trigger = { }
allow = { }
potential = { }
technology = { }
prerequisites = { }
### rest of section code ###
}

If its possible at all, once of those should work...

EDIT: none of those work. sorry.

we tried all of this ways but sadly none worked.

Even if you will be able to add new sections by tech, is the appearance of the ship will change?
May be add new ship class and del old by event?

1. Only for build after reserach and designation of new type
2. yes its probaly doable but it will be very tricky and will require a lot of coding and pulse event

I think you can assign new sections to ship_size.
You research Constitution class ship, the previous class is deleted by hidden event (but as i see, game havent remove_ship_design comand).
Constitution class have own sections.

As I see it, the main problem is to remove old designs.

so we need this or this, but it would be the best if we had both

I know this is on my want to fix list. However I'm currently trying to be available for 4 different projects at the same time and when I looked into this one it wasn't an easy thing to do and required quite a bit of a rework. When I have time to look at Stellaris code in a couple of weeks I'll try to assess what would be needed to make a proper system of triggers for ship sections and see if it's plausible in the near future.
