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

Multi-Hit weapons

Such as:

Super Machine Gun
Range: whatever
Damage: 5x30(150)

So, it would do 150 damage total. But for the purposes of emissive armor, or some new kind of armor that just reduced damage done (see a post below about damage/weapon types), it would be severly reduced or not damage at all. to better give the clue, lets look at two weapons:

BIG CANNOn
Range: whatever
Damage: 100

fired at a ship with emissive armor that takes off 25 damage. 75 damage is done to ship.

BIG MACHINE GUN
range: whatever
Damage: 30x4(120)

fired at ship with emsisve armor that takes off 25 damage, it winds up doing 4 hits of 5 damage.20 damage. So even though it has more raw firepower vs a target with no armor. It winds up doing less overall.


Cloaking with different devices to hide from different types (already moddable in SEIV). Perhaps racial abilities to give free sensor types (as in a a race with the ability to sense gravitationl disturbances would get lvl 1 gravitic scanning on all ships)
