[Spaceships] Modular Bays and Reinforced Structure

TheGnome · 06-13-2009, 06:17 AM

I been kicking around the ideas of a new features for ships.

Modular Bays
Modular bays are empty ship sections that have power, attachments hard points, comm/computer connections, and other systems so that attaching a new system is relatively quick and easy. What would take days to months in dry dock may now be done at a standard repair facility with in hours. The cost however is the structural strength of your ship.

HT.........# of bays
-1..........4
-2..........8
-3..........12
-4..........16
-5..........20

Reinforced Structure
The internal structure of the ship is made of ether stronger materials and/or geometrically more sound. The lose of 1 bay will give +1 to the ships HT.

Shield Reinforcement
This is a switch that allows you to use shields to add HT to the ship instead of armoring it. For every 2.5 of dDR add +1 to HT. A Force Field system can be dedicated to this function. The system is still a high energy system.
