1. No.

2. No.

3. Yes, it's in the map's .galaxy file.

4. See 3.

5. Yes, the initial capital ship slot research subject sets this.

6. Possibly. I've not seen it tried.

7. No.

8. Wait, what? I don't think so, if you're asking what I think you're asking.

I was asking about this:

In my mod, there is only tree capital ship slot upgrade buttons, one that add one capital ship slot, one that add 2 and another that add 3 captal ship slots. The first one has 4 levels, the second 3 and the third has 2, to a total of 16 capital ship slots in the end.

I would like to add more levels on those buttons and make that the player will not be able to upgrade using this button when amount of capital slots that the player has is less than 16 minus the about that the upgrade add. So the player will be able to upgrade his capital ships in any way he want, but will need to stay below the 17 capship slots.

I don't think you can do this the way you describe.  Look at some of the tech research for the way SoaSE research works.  You can specify that to research something some other research must have already been done but I doubt that you can write an expression within the research entity file like

if CapShipSlot# < OR = 16-ThisResearchCapShipSlotAddition then ThisResearch is selectable.

However it is a neat idea.  

Actually I think I will implement a similar simplified capship slot number structure to the one you are currently using in the mod I play.

There is any way to do that to the entire mod and not only to the map? Something that will be in any map that you play.
