Some of my ideas and questions

[Suicide Junkie]

Thruster: WTH? Ten times the thrust density of the main engines?!? Ten times the fuel efficiency?!? S'cuse me, but can you say unbalanced?
A "thruster" should probably only be for bonus combat movement, or ECM-type bonus (from dodging). When you say thruster, I see little bitty attitude control thrusters. Not exactly good for interplanetary voyages, but decent if you want to rotate your ship quickly.

Cryosleep tube : Lifesupport/crewquarters ignore the "supplies used". Sorry.

Gravitic sheilding: if possible it defends against missles only
Shields block everything that dosen't have a shield-skipping warhead.
How about a point-defense repulsor beam? That would be missiles and fighters only, auto-activated. Effectiveness would depend on how much range the missile has left. Given a range of 1, it would reduce damage from plasma missiles, allow more time to evade CSMs, and prevent fighter rammings. If it had range 1 (and damage of 1), fighters would still fire at you from range 2 but could not ram.

Problems could arise in fleets, in the case of one ship pushing a missile towards another ship (possibly the missile's target). I would not expect that to happen often; maybe if the missile was fired from within the formation or something.

I will probably have PDRepulsors in P&N, once I've gotten through the first weeks back at University

Can't do destroyed on use for weapons, or anything used in combat for that matter.

new stuff and a question can i make a comp that makes a planet form nothing??or new types of ringworlds? like give the monsters the ability to creat)e a Hiveworld(sphereworld with a different pic
)from uhh different stuff? and can i make a type of ringworld only for certian suns?

Components:

Psionic nexus:a psy only comp that is like a nueral net but better

Ships:

Ark:a ship ewith the built in ability to colonize anything and is level 3 claoked but is slow expensive and poor at combat so is best used to stick away in some max level storm (i made a storm that no sensor can see through even the omnipotents)and when you loose all youre planets you make it colonize one.

Can't make a planet from nothing.

New types of ringworlds: you could create them in planettypes.txt, but not build them with SM (ringworld generator build planets of size ringworld only).
You can't have the created world be of a specific picture, either. Half the time you'd get a normal construct, half the time your new pic.

Suicide, I amee a new type of construction- the Star Colony- for TechMod, and didn't notice any problems with it. Worked fine.

can i turn a planet into a sun?or a planet of type a to type b?

Comonents


Bussard ramjet:a engine simwhat slower then a Nova engine but uses no supplies

Robotic terraforers:large but increases a planets conditions and value.

Nano armor:biological armor but at its highest it is equal to bio armor level 2 only..

Gauss cannon:medum power and good range but usees some ssupllies

Emp cannon:disables one ships weapons for 20 turns but is hard to research and is hefty and has a reload of 20 as well
