Re: Organic & Crystal vehicle differences?
 

Back in the last days of SE4, I had plans for a mod -- ridiculously grandiose plans given my modding skill level -- for temporal hulls. I figured they'd use time travel ability to bring in ships from the future, so they'd have hull sizes and components a couple of tech levels higher than they'd researched. So I planned on making them very cheap, quick to build, and real expensive to maintain. I was trying to model "time warping" them in, using them quickly, and then "time warping" (as in scrapping them) back out again.

Maybe SE5 will let me do that easier.

Not quite.

Heh, guess I didn't look closely enough. That is really weird... wonder if it was intentional to do just one size like that, or if it was a transcription error.

Personally I suspect that the organic ships would have had some sort of self-healing ability.
That's what organic ships traditionally get anyway.

It hasn't gone anywhere.

They do, indirectly. When you pick organic technology you get organic armor and weapons too; the armor is self-healing. At a quick rate too, I noticed.

The Organic Hulls in the Balance Mod add regeneration capacity to organic armor to help to heal just a wee bit faster. They also have a small reduction to maintenence and cost more in organics. Crystalline Hulls reduce the damage from energy weapons slight, cost more in rads and have the same maintenence reduction.

Looks like the racial DN sizes/costs were a transcription error.
