Default Re: Devnull Mod Gold: updates and discussion

Idea Time!

First, I have no idea if this has been implemented or not, since I don't have DevNull Gold, only regular . Second, if it's impossible to alter a ship's movement during combat, then ignore this post entirely. Now, with all that aside:
------------------------------
Name: [for now] Hyperspace Converter I, II, III, IV

Available: With every third Propulsion tech level (i.e. when you get Ion Engines III, Jacketed-Photon Engines III, etc.)

Available for: Ships only, 1 per ship

Description: [for now] Massive device which utilizes hyperspatial particles to greatly increase a ship's long-range movement, but decrease maneuverability.

Effect: (per level)
>>>>> +1 bonus movement point
>>>>> -1 movement in combat
>>>>> -10% to defense

Size: Probably 30kT

Image: I was thinking the 'Gas Giant Colony component' image, sideways, color changed, the "wings" edited out, and the background made black.
------------------------------
I imagine making this wouldn't be too hard to make...I just don't have the resources to do so myself

Plus, implementing this would actually give people an incentive to spend research points to go all the way to Quantum Engine III, and not stop at QE I...Why else would someone spend 600,000 research just to get 50 more storage out of an engine?

That's my idea...hope someone runs with it
Regards,

P.S.: Come to think of it...Does anyone think this post should be a separate thread entirely?
