Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Now, you might call this pedantic, and say that it destroys an interesting tactical aspect of the game, but if a storm is opaque to level X scanners, then if you don't have level X+1 scanners and you're inside the storm, shouldn't you be unable to see outside the storm?

Also, remember SE2's idea of storms - nobody can see you in the storm unless they are in the same sector? What if there were larger storms that didn't make ships entirely invisible but instead reduced sight range? And what if you didn't get to see everything in a system by default, but instead your scanners had a limited range?

I also like Stars! idea of diminishing returns for stacking components - you CAN put two long range scanners/ECM/whatever on your ship, but while the first one might have range 50, the second one will only bump the range up to 65 or something like that.
