I think that originally ADB said that the Andros copied Rom tech with the mauler. As things progressed I think they decided to keep Andro and Galactic tech totally seperate and incompatible. Mixing it would have created impossible balancing issues. That's when they said that they didn't know if it was acquired technology or possibly the Andros developed it on their own. Without pulling out the "Andromedan Order of Battle", if memory serves me correctly, Dominators arrive in this galaxy with Terminators already as part of their standard SatShip complement. They also have an incredibly low allowed build rate for Terminators. They're allowed to convert Cobras to Terminators only to replace destroyed ones and then only at a rate of one a year, or something along those lines.
MWPs(mobile weapons platforms) are fighters with real internal systems like a ship (batteries, warp, PA panels, etc...). Well that will have to be a real approximation. SFC doesn't give you internal systems for ftrs and that's the only hull type that could be used. The only thing that I can think of is Ph2 armed fighters that are speed 31 with lots of damage pts. I'm sure that something could be made that would give some resemblance of MWPs, at least tactically, to add to the racial flavor factor. Nothing else works exactly the same in SFC as SFB. So, why not? Everything in an Andro mod would have to be done like that anyway.
