Talk:Starship Components

Repair Components
Repair Components are not components in the sense of the game logic, as aren't Batteries. "Starship Components" are things you can mount on your ship in order to permanently modify its stats. Repair Parts do not exactly qualify for that. They are more like Consumables, but the game does not classify them as such.--RachelGarrett 21:20, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

I can see your logic if we define Components narrowly, meaning anything making a permanent change to the ship. However, as a broad header category to the topic, Components is the best fit. All Consoles are Components, but not all Components, are Consoles. Add to it--in-game--Repair items are called Components, and from a taxonomic viewpoint, it make logical sense to add them as a subheading of the overarching Starship Components category. If you are concerned about them being consumables, we could also cross reference them--and Batteries--into a Consumables category. --Curmudgeony 03:42, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
