Interesting Items coming out soon...

SPOOGY FEDERATION MOD NEWS:

While at work, I just came up with an interesting component...

Deep Space Array

Massive Long Range scanner that can peer into deep space many, many sectors away giving you a nice picture of the surrounding area (including Enemy fleets!). It would be a really big component and would probably be suited to stations only.

It can be done as a facility as well!
It can be made to scan the entire system.

[Atrocities]

Hey spoogy, could you do me a favor and make me a facility that can prevent warp points from being opened within a system? I was kinda thinking that it would make a nice addition to the game.

That would only be useful (& different from what already exists) if you are talking about interstellar sectors, not within a single solar system, as Aussie seems to imply.
I think it would be great.
You should also be getting a System Sensor Jammer to go with it

The Deep Space Array would be like a super long range scanner so you could spy on your neighbours although they may be really far away - like fifteen sectors (galaxy).

It would cost a lot of materials and take up a lot of space (sort of like that Argus array in Star Trek: TNG)

I'm not sure about the Warp Point thing - I'll look into tomorrow.

Also, how about a facility like a Command Centre - it could generate happiness, intelligence, military training...

I've got some more ideas...

Multi-Vector Point Defense (Death Blossom)

This new weapon would be mounted on a specialized fighter. It would be really small, just 1 kT per component, but you would jam 30 or so on the fighter. The numerous beams would strike against seekers, fighters, drones. Remember "The Last Starfighter"? Just like that! What makes this weapon even more interesting is that I would create a new launch bay for just these fighters - so you don't need a carrier and even a cruiser could carry a couple. They would be cheap and expendible and could even chase down those missiles before they got near you...

I think I will make this component and post it tomorrow with the Deep Space Array - the remainder of my more basic components will be with the Spoogy Universe Mod.
