Modding Limitations: Things needed for Next Patch

[Fyron]

You can add all relevant abilities to them. You can add cloaking to them, which functions exactly like it does on other stellar objects; it cloaks everything else in that sector. You can not have them be invisible, but that is a slightly different issue.

More granularity in the special weapons types.

For instance, right now you don't have a choice whether or not your Engine Damaging weapons skip shields. Maybe I'd like some variety, and have some that do skip shields and some that don't. I think that the "damages engines" flag should be seperate from the "skips shields" flag.

Of coarse, this isn't limited to just Engine destroyers. Weapon destroyers, Computer destroyers, etc. all are hard coded whether or not they skip shields. Seperate those two abilities, please.

I don't want to discourage anybody, but I am afraid these ideas will be only for SE V because I doubt very much there will be any further patch for SE IV.

Q, you're being a bit too pessimistic.
