Say, how about we create a mod where all the techs and such are intentionally over-the-top, seemingly designed for power gamers, but really a joke to put them in their place - i.e. they're balanced by something subtle that powergamers tend to ignore, so it's actually a playable mod!
I have some ideas...
Dome of Atheism - The complete opposite of the religious talisman. Instead of an infinite bonus to hit, it gives you an infinite bonus to defense... so enemy ships can never hit you!
Of course, the game makes that impossible, so instead just give it +999 to defense... oh, and to balance it out, you also get -100 to attack!
Super Mega Deatho BFG Ultra Sniper Wave Motion Power Buster Cannon - The ultimate weapon. Does 50K damage at range 20, +100 tohit, skips shields and armor, can destroy planets, stars, storms, nebulas, black holes, and pretty much anything else. Of course, did we mention the price tag... One million radioactives!
Any more ideas, anyone?
edit: Yeah, I have one!
Metooloy Armor - Made out of the same stuff those seemingly impenetrable "Mets" in Megaman games are. 1kT tonnage, 1kT structure... but 1,000 crystalline armor ability!
Downside is, with so little structure, it's virtually guaranteed to be hit first, so you'd better put a LOT of on your ship if you want the effect to Last - and it ain't cheap!
