Upgrade Modifications

[Scarface]

One thing that would be nice is to add quantity to the upgrade ship screen.

This way, if you wish to have 5 30% shields, you just need to design one and you can install 5 of them.
This would also put less stress on the overall database as it would remove much of the duplication that is currently required to build a half descent ship.

or to build powerships...

[ars68]

come to think of it...  that -may- help.  I know E is cautious in doing anything that helps put in multiple systems, as evidently the first round people put so many systems on one ship it would start straining the server just to do a battle...

but this might actually help, all E would nee is a way for the system to be seen as a multiple, like 'bluelight special' x10 but then when being used, it will add all 10 (in this case) together as though they were seperate.  I know something can just be added, like armour, marine, powercore, but others can't, because they have %'s and the %'s would have to undergo the same leveling out that happens when you put on more then 1.
