Explorers of all races get 2 builds, they all can build devices, and get a second build of the item their race is best with. Terran = Engines, Progen = Shields, Jenquai = Reactors.
Letting the explorers, whether it's a Jenquai, Progen, or Terran Explorer, build components would be unfair to the Traders, and would essentially put them out of the Component building business.

If build component would replace one of the other building skills? So instead of a terran explorer building engines he would get build components ...
