I have been trying to port one of my designs from GalCiv3 to GalCiv4 but found out that all United Earth components are missing. From what I can see it seems they are the only parts that are missing from GalCiv3.

But since most of the data structure between 3 and 4 seems to have remained the same I tried to grab the corresponding files from 3 and put them into 4. While doing this I found out that almost all of them are already there. Only the files in the objgfxcfg.zip and the entries in CosmeticComponentDefs.xml and CosmeticPlanetComponentArtDefs.xml are missing.
This leads me to believe that this is not intentional but that those were simply forgotten.

After adding these entries (and adjusting the style to be that of Terra so that I don't need to fiddle with the UE Style) I have almost gotten it to work but the Icons don't show and when I try to select it it crahses (btw this is also true for the Slyne_EnergyBall (before I messed with anything) so that needs a fix (I have already send in a crash report)).

But since it now seems to me that adding the UE ship components was merely forgotten I want to kindly ask the devs to add those awesome components to the game. The shipbuilder community needs those (I don't care about the assembled ship Models or UE as a race. If there are reasons holding these things back then that should not hold back the inclusion of the cosmetic ship components).

(I hope that Technical Support is the correct sub forum for this)
