Default Re: New tech idea - Launch Lasers

I have to disagree on both counts. This in no way would belong in the 'cyrstalline tech' group... This isn't some special technology. It is common stuff.. the technology to build this already exsists and is being engineered in small steps (Russia is doing the most work right now)

Also a +1 sector bonus seems very small... and doesnt make it worth the effort. And it doesnt make sense to build it on a planet... at least not a planet with an atmosphere.

It seems to me that the propulsion lasers would be best made in the same style as the Crystalline Tech "Energy Lens" Shield facility.

Build the facility on a planet, and all ships in the system get +1 movement.
This could potentially allow you to recover immobile ships without sending in a repair ship.

Alternatively, you could reduce the effect to be +1 movement for all ships in that sector. It would effectively be a catapult launching system, which allows your base to launch interceptor ships faster/farther than normal.
