Mod Idea - Ablative Armour

[Reaper8436247]

I had the idea to be able to increase the hull strength of a ship by buying ablative armour from equipment docks, the same way you but engine and cargo upgrades.

This armour would directly increase the strength of the hull but wouldn't be repaired at a shipyard like the normal hull, rather it would have to be replaced like any other piece of damaged equipment.

Since this would be an add-on to the standard design of the ship it would also cause a negative effect on the flight characteristics of the ship (speed, acceleration, manueverability) due to the increased size/weight of the hull.

What do people think about this idea, is it viable, would people use it, how much is it worth and what price should be charged?

The thing is, it is'nt possible I dont think. You want to add an extra protection to a ship which will adversly affect the flyability of the ship. People would use it (enough people have suggested it).

you can't change the hull strength of a ship within the game by buying a ware, i don't think so anyway

nice idea though,

u could find a clever way to do it for X3, but not for X2 as the fuctions arn't avaialble
