Have ship component costs changed with ToA?

from GalCiv2 Forums

I own Ultimate Edition and never played DL or DA before, so I noticed the terran colony ship holds 2 Colony ship modules, 4 Basic Supports, 1 Sensors and a Hyperdrive, which goes way beyond the 60 point limit. Funny thing is the description says it only contains 3 BS, 1 CM and a Hyperdrive... I guess the .shipcfg never got updated?

You're right about the 3/4 Basic Support difference. There's 3 BS in the GC2Ships.xml and 4 in the S0_ColonyShip.shipconfig. The extra Colony Module is just for show btw.

GC2Ships.xml:

 <Ship Name="ColonyShip">
  <DisplayName>Colony Ship</DisplayName>
  <Model>ColonyShip</Model>
  <Description>Taking people into that great big galaxy.</Description>
  <Component>CargoHull0</Component>
  <Component>BasicSupport</Component>
  <Component>BasicSupport</Component>
  <Component>BasicSupport</Component>
  <Component>HyperDrive</Component>
  <Component>ColonyModule</Component>
 </Ship>

S0_ColonyShip.shipconfig (with all the positioning data deleted):
