New way to do non-jumpable ships

[Azatol]

Something like:

Warp Generator
800kt size
4000kt structure

8000 m, 0 o, 12000 r

Obviously a lot of fiddling could be done based on how expensive the ships are, and then:

Small Highliner -- 1000kt (hardly anything but the warp gen)
-5 to defense

Medium Highliner -- 1200kt
-10 to defense

Large Highliner -- 1500kt
-15 to defense

Huge Highliner -- 2000kt
-20 to defense


Or whatever you want the sizes to be with increasing defense penalties, because of their bulkiness.

I've been playing EVE online which uses warp to get to different places in system (because the system is close to scale)

They had warp in system, and then used gates to warp to different stars. I don't think gate battle stations can be done though, unless you make them mobile and use warp openers on them. (component -- Warp opener combined with 1 movement would work, except you could move them prior to opening the gate. I would think a very short range on the opener would fit the gate theme).

Now here's an even more bizarre thing, I don't think this is possible, but you can you make warp openers create damaging warp points?

You could also prevent *large* ships from warping (they're too big to fit in the wormholes) by using a mount which restricts the warp generator to small ships... interesting!

I think wormhole damage is applied to the whole fleet, but rather randomly. Fyron had a bit of trouble in Adamant013 with a damaging wormhole that destroyed a whole fleet of ships slightly tougher than scouts.

Some ships can avoid getting damaged, but I suspect the odds are somehow linked to the amount of damage dealt. In any event, it may make sense that small ships might make it through by luck, just like large ships can end up ripped apart (leaky armour would do that).
