Okay, so no responses to that yet...
Here's what I want for warp point types, five different abilities to add to abilities.txt:
Edit: and by the way, none of these are my original ideas, they've all come from other people at this site
1) ability
open warp point
- opens a normal warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : 0
2) ability
open periodic warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : # of turns it appears open then # of turns it appears closed
3) ability
open delayed warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : turns it takes a ship to get through to other side.
4) ability
open "single use" warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : # of ships that can pass through before it closes.
5) ability
open sieving warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : largest ship size that can pass through in kT. Larger ships just excluded, not damaged.
Edit: 6) ability
open vampire warp point
Value 1 : max distance it can open
Value 2 : number of resources used per ship that
travels through the warp point.
Okay, this one's mine
The number of uses of these abilities are almost limitless - especially if we were able to have more than one ability to each warp point -- can we have multi ability warp points though??
