Star Wars Mod - II (Sci-Fi Xover Mod)

[Val]

The engines are being reworked (or should I say retrofitted?) as we speak lowering their HP to around what SJ had suggested in the B5 thread.

Also, one thing to note : I had put the fision engines in the B5 mod for the 'under developed' races (Grom/Hurr) or as a spring board into higher tech engines if you are playing a game from scratch. Ideally, most races will start with a level of Fision tech and basic Fusion tech. In the scenario (I am still hoping for a scenario builder so I don't have to do it the long way) some races would even start with Anti-Matter and Gravitic drives (Vree/Centauri and Brakiri/Minbari) to be more true to the series.

Just re-reading the Posts, the 1000% increase in HP for the basic engine was due to the way we were going to do armor and repair originally in the B5 Mod. At first everything was going to be x10 (struct ton, damage, etc.) so we could simulate simple repairs for ships. This way crews could be working on repairing an otherwise crippled ship to get her underway again. But, unfortunately, the organic armor ability doesn't quite work the way we would like it to, ah well!
