Oops, somebody just put a stack of Xray lasers on their sats! No maintenance, and no supply problems!

bah, just make them mountable on ships and bases only. sure they are cheaper on bases, but no big deal. it would make it that much harder to take a planet. I was mainly thinking of a high initial production value, the supply thing was sort of an afterthought that sounded good at the time.

I am with you on the torps though. Even if they are anti-matter torpedos, we can make the stuff (okay, one atom at a time) today.

also, maybe adding a few more types of armor would spice things up a bit more. I really like the idea of cheap alblative armor that is quick and cheap to build, but a ***** to retrofit or repair (lots of smaller components).

perhaps this would be a good mod on which to introduce different types of cloaking, and mine detection. mines could be made to use a different cloaking type than is available from stealth armor (hehe, level 1 stealth armor = "we painted her black, sir") and mine scanners could be added. i dont know if you can give different classes of mines different cloaking abilitys, but you could give them a special mine cloaking device that would take up the spot of their second warhead. add another area to have a little arms race in.
