Just make it ridiculously huge so it doesn't fit on anything.

sounds like missiles and kamakazee would rule the game, if this was in place.

Yes, but you'd also be a sitting duck for missiles yourself, since PDC fire would be hidiously inaccurate. And if you don't put it on your PDC ships, a smart enemy could notice, and jigger the strategies to kill them first..

Pfft. Any power gamer already knows you would just combo the Dome with the Talisman, since the Always Hit characteristic would overide the -100 to hit penalty.

right. and the only way you could be hit, is by another player taking the same combo - or by a player who takes neither option and saves the points, and uses only kamakazees and seekers. hence my statement.

this could be an interesting variation on the rock-paper-scisors mod, though. we could create a few uber techs with weaknesses that balance each other out, and make a slightly more involved rock-paper-scisors.

The only thing left for them to spend points on would be a nice coffin for when they get slaughtered. Seekers and missiles. Heh. Right.

Unless, of course, they are using the Heat Seeking Guided Missile of Indestructable Doom, which does 5k damage and has 10k resistance...

Nah. Just make the Talisman give +200 to-hit, and the Dome -400. Preserves the effect.
