, more lightweight, and less volumetric than the standard counterparts.Considering that there is almost no use for reactor1 (apart from starting out etc.), as it is so underpowered, I thought that the military equivalents should start from the equivalent of reactor5, but the power increase per level should be greater, ie milgradreactor1 = reactor5, but milgradreactor2 = reactor7 or reactor8, but being less massive etc. A similar system could be used for capacitor and shields.
The military upgrades would surpass the standard ones fairly quickly, but power ratings could be assigned by plotting the power output or whatever. To balance the power and weight of these upgrades, the prices would be truly horrendous. Off hand I think it is either 7k or 15k credits or thereabouts for a reactor5, the milgradreactor one should be about 10-20 times that price,
with similar pricing for the higher upgrades ending at about 100 mil for a milgradreactor15. This would restrict their use to those who could afford them, but once bought the money should be worth it
. I've used reactors as examples, but as noted the capacitors and shields have the same possibilities.Another possible class could be capshipgrade. This would allow capships to be upgraded easier, as even a reactor15 cannot support even 4 shield breaker beams. Capshipgrade upgrades should be necessarily very massive and spacious, and proportionally just as powerful.
In the end I had to save a copy of a game and hack that to test, which has the unfortunate side effect of damaging the added parts. 
However, my Pacifier was able to support four shieldbreaker beams successfully after repairing the reactor, I haven't added mil_grad_shields yet, or capacitors, largely because of the problems stated above.
