Impulse drive Mk 2 changes size.

from GalCiv2 Forums
I am playing using version 1.2 and was placing "impulse drives mk2" on my ships at size 6, then all of a sudden the ID mk2 changed to size 9, why is this, is it a nasty snotty nosed bug?

Itll probably be miniturisation or you using bigger ships. the size of a component is based on the max capacity of a ship and both miniturisation and bigger hull sizes cause this.

Could it be that you confused cost and size, I did that once, not trying to suggest that you're as dumb as me..

Yea, that confused me when I first saw it. Miniturization doesn't make things smaller, it makes the hulls bigger. It also makes things use more size points. It's wierd, but that's the way they did it.

They had to do it that way because the minituration effects on small items would be lost due to rounding down. They should rename the tech from Minituration to Hull Expansion, and branch it off of the hull tech branch.

No, they didn't have to do it that way.
They could just as well have multiplied all sizes in the game with a large number and that way made the rounding down insignificant.
