Military Components

Tied heavily to Military Personnel, Military Components represent the logistical part of an Empire's military. Without enough components, an empire may struggle to field enough ships, train enough armies or equip the latest weapons.
Military Components can be produced in the following ways:

• Manufacturing Districts provide Military Contractor (Munition Worker for Gestalt) jobs which convert Credits and Tungsten into Military Components (Only Tungsten for Gestalt)
• Events can give Military Components as rewards
• Can be purchased on the Galactic Market

Military Components are used in the following ways:

• Upkeep for all Ship components
• Cost for all Ship components
• Selling on the Galactic Market

NOTE: More complex weapons within the same tier, such as Auto-loading cannons, will cost more Ship Components, both in Cost and Upkeep
Now it is entirely possible to roleplay a Military Contractor-like Megacorp! Huzzah!
