Can we get support for hullmods that lower the OP cost for specific fighter wings for a ship its installed on?

I would want to use this to partially limit or at least encourage hi-tech fighters and bombers only on hi-tech ships.

Just didn't see this in the patch notes and so figured I'd suggest it if it wasn't supported already

Hmm, yeah. That'd only work as a built-in, but nonetheless, that has modding possibilities. For vanilla, the fighter selection is such that restricting/heavily encouraging by tech level would constrain the options too much. Will keep this in mind!

Thanks for considering it! I was indeed planning on using it as a built-in

As far as Vanilla, yeah I can see what you are saying there. Kind of runs the risk of hurting play variety for immersion's sake.

It could also work for an underequipped vessel that lacks the munitions and equipment to support bombers, making them expensive to mount.  A (D) carrier, or something designed as an escort carrier.

Or for mods when you want fighters of a specific faction to only be available on specific ships. Knights Templar comes to mind, maybe even Diable?

Yeah that is important too. At least for modders.

Its a very nice ship balance tool all around really, since OP is now the balance separator between fighter quality in general.

Or perhaps you want a ship that's specifically only for drones, like a drone-controller ship? That might be a legitimate restriction.
