Some of my ideas and questions

[Lord Kodos]

while both the planetoid and battle sun will have special weapons (ie weapons so big only they can fit them) i resolved the battlesuns problem.i will give it a minus 100 for all weapons normally and the only way a weapon will work is if you give it a sun exclusive mount (heat resitint mount) witch improves their range and makes them a plus 100 evening out

------------------
Some rule some serve
some declare wars some

i declare wars i rule
you serve you fight
wars.....
we are not the same.....
never forget that..

Ooh, problem there. If somebody puts a weapon on, and its accuracy calculates out to a negative number, SE4 crashes.
Also, religious races will still get 100%.

That's exactly what I mean. Test it well.

There was a thread a while back about to-hit penalties on weapon mounts causing negative to-hits, and crashing the game.

If you're using the To-Hit-Decrease ability, then it should be OK that way.

The other problem that WILL occur, is with the mount as well as with the WMG-style accuracy bonus (of 30%).
If your weapon has a +15% accuracy bonus, and your enemy has a +250% ECM device, you would expect your accuracy to be the minimum, 1%. But it is not! The actual accuracy is 16%.
Similarily, if you have a mount penalty of 30%, and a +250% combat sensor, your weapon accuracy is only 70%.

I will check into the details of this further when I get home.

Retrofits require the space yard ability.
You can make a space yard component that builds at a rate of zero, and repairs at a rate of zero. That will work for sure.

Monster shields... how about a high-energy slime barrier?
