Mod request: New systems

Postby Torchwood202 » Mon Feb 18, 2013 4:45 am

I request a mod that adds new systems (Preferably systems that can be manned) . People can post system ideas here, and if i'm lucky, someone can make a mod for it!

You missed the point of what shark was trying to say. Having ideas for new systems is fine, but new systems cannot be implemented. The game was not designed for that.
At best you can rename existing ones and alter them a bit, but that will affect all ships with the system and may cause balance problems.

I wouldn't start making ideas until they made the sandbox available. Then again, ideas of that kind is what makes the sandboxes grow larger.

@AggShell: you realize shots can't actually miss right? they can only be dodged. so all this system amounts to is a reduce to the enemy's dodge percentage. You can do this by making a fake augmentation and making an event for this but...

I like to cling on to the small hope that the devs read my every post and suggestion. Shhhh don't ruin my ridiculous thoughts. :roll: Hopefully they read at least some suggestions and hurry up with a sandbox regardless!!

Another system I thought of: teleportation scrambler. A system that diverts all the teleporting boarding party to that room or causes them to be scattered throughout the ship. Or blocks teleportation altogether while activated for a steep cost in power.

Ugh, when I said "sandbox" I meant "implementation-specific limitations".

As people say, i am not particulary atracted to give ideas to something that will never happen. And if for a miracle the developers say they will update the game and add new things, i dont think new systems will be one of those things. They will add other things before that, and they will make balance improvements before that, and modding improvements before that.

I will propose other things before new systems, like shield management (to be allow to redirect the shield to any quadrant of the ship to protect targeted systems, of course this will need to change the way the game handles targeting and shield management).

If i want suggest another system, it will be something related with hull plating, like Armor system, for example. U can add power to armor system to improve hull armor. And that will be a great defense against hull weapons, for example.
