Default Re: Rumours, Suggestions, Features on the Next Update

Defense against Allegiance Subverter is easy. Just give the hull Master Computer ability. Since it's not a compoennt it cannot be destroyed by a virus and the ship can never be vulnerable to the AC.

'Defense' against the Null-space cannon is a misleading statement, I think. Unless he's found something everyone else has missed, all he's got is a way to make your ships more resistant to attack by 'skips shields and armor' weapons. Essentially, it's just internal armor. By making 'slugs' of armor without the armor ability they are counted among the internal components of your ship and will soak up some of the damage from weapons that skip armor with the 'armor' ability actually set on them. The bigger they are in kt the more likely they will be hit instead of some other component. So, a ship with a gigantic 100kt block of armor inside it is probably able to survive null-space hits much better than one with a 10 little 10kt armor plates inside it even if they don't have the 'armor' ability set on them.
