Default Re: Unusual New Propulsion Idea

But these kind of engines would create interesting palying tactics and extremely vast models of ships (not only different names, but different types totally) unlike today. Has anyone tried to mod a game like this? Is it actually possible?

I could think that code change for solar collectors would not be very difficult. Basically something like this and the code would be executed at the beginning of every sector when moving (ie. you are in nebula system, you get no bonus movement but if you warp through warp point, you get bonus movement at the other side if there is a sun):

If amount(suns in system) = 0 then
ship.movement.bonus = 0
else
if ship.equipment.solarpanel.level = 1 then
ship.movement.solarpanel.bonus = 1
end if

if ship.equipment.solarpanel.level = 2 then
ship.movement.solarpanel.bonus = 2
end if

if ship.equipment.solarpanel.level = 3 then
ship.movement.solarpanel.bonus = 3
end if

end if
