Default Re: Mod idea: Repair pods

It's funny you mentioned this, I was thinking of doing the exact same thing in the TNG mod, except my little repair pods could repair two components per turn! Interesting...

Why a fighter unit? Wouldn't a sat slow things down even further, and have the advantage of the launching tech being free from the start?

Well yeah, but I like the idea of them being able to move some. And sats can't be given movement in a mod. Good point about the launcher though. You could mod a launcher comp that will launch in strategic but not in combat. And you can make the repair pods slow, so they don't move around too much in system.

i think since it'll end up as a different hull anyway they can be made slow. also some kind of supply components should be introduced for them. And then of course you will have several levels, can you give .5 repair ability? so you need 2 to repair one component a turn?

EDIT: using to test new sig

Nope, repair ability in whole numbers only. That would be nice though.
