Components requiring other components?

from GalCiv2 Forums

Is it possible to make a ship component require another component to be placed first? Or something to that effect. For example can I mix and match properties - like making making an engine give HP bonuses or a weapon giving speed bonuses? That would also serve the purpose even if it is a crude workaround for component prereq's.

I have certain ideas about making a mod that would need that sort functionality.

But there are only tech requirement fields in GC2Types.

For this to work it either needs to require another component, or more than one tech.

And besides its easier to get a definitive answer here than go around poking stuff that may not, but is most likely hardcoded anyway.
