Make sure to back up all files before installing this mod! I am not responsible for any problems caused by the failure of a user to do this.

Features:
+ All functional components are now replaced with a blank model (invisible) and one hardpoint facing the same direction as the original hardpoint.
+ All weapons/defense/etc graphics still work
+ All components work as intended
+ The original component graphics have been replaced, therefore the AI will not make asymmetrical or ugly designs.
+ Works with all races and is bug-free (AFAIK)

DA and MV compatible. I believe this mod will work on all versions of GC2 thus far, however, it's untested on anything but DA 1.80b.

Features:
+ Nearly all functional components are now replaced with a blank model (invisible) and one hardpoint facing the same direction as the original hardpoint. (Exceptions are the (still) currently impossible: Colony, Troop, and Advanced Troop Module)
+ All weapons/defense/etc graphics still work
+ All blank components work as intended
+ The AI will use the Blank Modules, allowing for cleaner ships on their part (I have found this to be exclusive, tell me if you find a time other than the excepted modules where they don't)
+ Blank components separated into their own tabs for ease of browsing
+ One can make an entire jewelry ship (with the help of KHSM) and not mar it with components
+ One can install a ship from another work (Star Wars, Star Trek, etc) and not mar it with components
+ Works with all races and bug-free (AFAIK)
+ Thumbnails for all blank components.
