I'd like for just one.

Basically, you can buy one of three unique enhancements. They are "crew" upgrades, but their actual effect is that they increase the level of the gadgets of your ship by x amount.

These are very rare drops, and buying one costs an incredible amount of credits (20k+). And they only last last three deaths.

It could be more complex than this. Like for example, they would class binded. So you'd have Scout Veteran Crew Enhancement's and Destroyer ones.

I would say though that there would only be three levels though.

Experienced Crew Enhancement adds 1 level to all gadgets and has 3 durability.

Veteran Crew Enhancement adds 2 levels to all gadgets and has 2 durability

And Elite Crew Enhancement adds 3 levels. So a cruiser having this would essentially have the equivilant level of an elite dreadnaught. And would only last one death.

Use of thise enhancement prevents you from attaching any other enhancements.


I think thats a pretty fair balance no?

Mabe bet rid of all the beam enhancements and replace them with fighter enhancements?

This wouldn't work instead of getting rid of them make one set of enhancements for weapons and then create a set of fighter enhancements weapons are weapons right.

Other possiblities could include: Faster JD or WH chargers ( This would be great for stat users, as stat JD's charge soooooo slowly)

yes this is badly needed this is a serious issue i know i would buy a enhanced jump drive

Increased Armor/Shield boosters- I've noticed that def upgrades only seem to affect how strong your hull is, not your actual armor or shields.

This is more of a bug fix but if they allow def enhancements to effect shields and armor would make the game more intresting.

Sensor package: would completely nullify Kluth cloak as well as ECM devices, or completely prevent a detected Kluth ship from re-cloaking.

although the kluth cloaking is terrible how about an enhacment that increases the rate of ping for ships while lowering its range

Quote:

Enhanced Self Destruct: Kinda a "Just for Fun" thing, but this would boost the damage yields of a Self Destructing ship 50 to 100%'s, making it economical for corvettes to kamikaze into hostile stations.

this would be fun turn your ship into a flying bomb but would be abused to the point people would complain. i think they should make an enhancement that combines all your remaining ammo and weapons rating and use that as a blue print for when the ship self- destructs or dies. the more ammo you have the more dmg you can cause when your ship dies.

Quote:

Additional Ammo Package: This Enhancement would be a godsend for Missile Dreads, and any ship that relies heavily on projectile weapons as well; I was thinking anywere from a 25 to 45% increase in amount of ammo carried.

this is a great idea, i would like to also see a means to convert resources to ammo and repair, why should the kluth only get hull repair i mean all ships have crews they aren't just gonna sit around with a hull breach they are gonna fix it.

Quote:

I was also thinking of a whole line of "additional" packages that would range from adding extra generators while attached to additional shields, and even a additional weapon pack, adding on a single additional weapon, class appropriate, of course.

awsome i agree that this game needs to address the way ships produce energy i would suggest a unique enhancement that increases energy production and storage capacity. as for the weapons pack would be nice if it could increase shots fired and speed of projectiles(torps are super slow)

Quote:

Possibly a enhancement that decreases the time required to charge equipment like ECM and EECM suits; pinging always takes so long netween pings to be much use normally.....

Yes this is despartly needed also how about an enhancement that allows regular sensors to ping but not as effectivly as eccm/ecm

this is a great idea, i would like to also see a means to convert resources to ammo and repair, why should the kluth only get hull repair i mean all ships have crews they aren't just gonna sit around with a hull breach they are gonna fix it.

No. Torps aren't fast. And yes, they were made to be slow(er). That's their mechanism. They are slow. But powerful.

A waste of energy to fire them, plus losing the ammo. You can torp-det earlier if you trigger it within the splash range of your enemy, but there is no reason torps should be fast, they'd just be like all other quick-fire weapons but really, really hardcore. Why have all fast or instant-striking weapons? That'd be a pretty tame battle.

The beauty of Darkspace is its variance and multi-role capability.

It's like ignoring pawns and bishops and rooks, and wanting everything to be Queens in Chess... you gotta have some variety.

Didn't you just say additional ammo enhancements are a horrible idea?

since when do you have to lead targets with modern torpedo systems? Modern Torpedo systems have extremly good homing capabilities, so it seems like in the future, we've lost the guidance systems for them...
