That was one of my favorite parts, too, which is why it got some real
time and attention. What I was most proud of there was the real-time
effects: your ship's capabilities changed as you swapped parts in and
out, and if you were under attack while you were back in the component
bays, you could see parts burn out right before your eyes as the ship
got hit. I'm not sure how many folks ever saw that, but it was nice to
know it was there.  ..bruce..
