As the title implies really. Give your faction specific component suggestions or regular suggestions.
Mine is just faster hyperwarps in a new era. Got nothing specific really beyond that.

Name: Void Capacitor 1-5 Slot Size: Small Mass: 125 Skill Pools: +4 Electronics (+5, 6, 6, 7) (Rank 5 adds 1 ship ops) Effects: +8 Void damage per ship attack (+10, 12, 15, 18) with medium and large weapons Cost: 14k, 24k, 39k, 60k, 84k Faction Restrictions: Rank 5 requires Alta Mesa

Name: Radiation Engine Slot Size: Large (Engine) Mass: Normal for size Skill Pools: Unremarkable other than requiring/granting less Pilot and more Electronics Speed: Very High Agility: Very Low Fuel/AU: Medium RP/Range Change: 4 Safety Rating: 90% (110% in Radiation Storms) Armor: None Bonus: +25% Faster Move speed (stacks additively with Explorer trait) Cost: +10% on top of most engines Faction Restricted: Javat
Notes: This engine would feature in escaping dangerous areas quickly as well as finishing missions a bit faster. A bonus in radiation storms coupled with the travel speed make it ideal for mitigating those areas, even with few talents. Higher electronics helps there a little too. The cost and ultra-low agility are its primary weak points. It could probably use a better name.

Name: Stealth Bridge Slot Size: Large (Bridge) Mass: 325 (+25 compared to normal bridges) Skill Pools: +1 Navigation, +1 Electronics, -1 Pilot compared to level 4 bridges (6 5 6 7) Officers: 1 Armor Bonus: 1 Shield Bonus: 0 Jump cost: +7 Cost: +15% on Bridge 4s. Special: +4% success rate to Spying Missions, +10% Intel gained from Spying Faction Restriction: Rychart
Name: Scout Stealth Bridge Slot Size: Large (Bridge) Mass: 110 (+10 compared to normal scout bridges) Skill Pools: +1 Navigation, +1 Electronics, -1 Pilot compared to level 4 scout bridges (6 4 6 6) Officers: 3 Armor Bonus: 3 Shield Bonus: 3 Jump cost: +10 Cost: +15% on Scout Bridge 4s. Special: +4% success rate to Spying Missions, +10% Intel gained from Spying Faction Restriction: Rychart
Notes: These bridges would only be available on small and medium sized ships in their two similar variants. They offer slightly better spying functionality in exchange for significant jump costs, up-front-price, mass penalty, and a trade on some skill pool items.

Name: Compact Sensor Array Slot Size: Small Mass: 25 (-25 compared to normal Sensor Arrays) Skill Pools: +5 Electronics, +2 Navigation (Same as Sensor Array 2, 1 less of each compared to Sensor Array 4) Accuracy Bonus: Matches Sensor Array 4 Cost: +5% On Sensor Array 4 Faction Restriction: Rychart
Notes: This is a way to squeeze a tiny bit more space into a hull once you've maxed out your dampeners. It comes at a skill pool cost and a little extra cost though.

It comes at a skill pool cost and a little extra cost though. The ultra-low mass could be a huge weakness. Component hit points is based on mass, so it would be destroyed by nearly any attack that hits it.

Oh dang. I forgot about that. I don't know the exact math on those things.

Name: Smuggler's Hidden Cache Slot Size: Small Mass: 150 (+30 versus Cargo-Fuel Pod) Skill Pools: +1 Ship Ops (matches Cargo-Fuel Pod) Fuel Bonus: 0 (unlike Cargo-Fuel Pod) Cargo Size: 5 (same as Cargo-Fuel Pod) Cost: +200% on Cargo-Fuel Pod (triple) Faction Restriction: Mok Special: 50% chance of 5 units of illegal goods not being seized by MOs, Zealots, and Spies during surrender. No effect versus other ships.
Notes: Gives an opportunity to keep some small amount of Xeno goods or other illegal goods versus lawful ships. This comes at a price of gaining no fuel and having a high price as well as a faction restriction. It also costs significantly more mass.

Battlecruiser Electronics SuiteSize: Large Skill Pools: Big Electronics with a little Ship Ops Effect: Advanced sensor data modelling and jamming capabilities increases Accuracy, Defense, and gives a small bonus to Escape; +8% Shielding
There might be another variation of this, a Carrier Electronics Suite, that gives some kind of bonus for small craft fighters.

DerpDaHonk0AzureSoul from the Discord server suggested a probe that could reduce damage from meteor storms. I think it could be a cool medium or large component. To expand its utility, it could apply to reducing damage from Rad Storm, Ion Storm, and Xeno Spore rumors as well.

An idea for a special weapons locker could be a special grenadier's locker. It could have extra cost, be faction specific (maybe/which?) and would mirror an A5 locker but would have +3 Accuracy and +3-6 Damage on all grenade talents.

Storm Engine Mass: (Normal for ship mass class) Speed: -2 from Balanced type Agility: +2 from Balanced type Shielding bonus: +8% Safety: Dangerously low Special: +36 to Radiation damage, +8 Radiation Resist I like this one and think it'd still be worth it with -8 Radiation Resist instead!
