Cool idea. Might also be good to have a cooldown period like with jumphole usage otherwise people will /setmsg flhook spam.

Kinda like Starlancer. Had the ability to swap your power between guns, shields and engines. It took power from two places and focused it into one.
It'd be awkward having to type it in all the time, would it be possible to map it to keys I wonder?

Coming from a veteran PVP-tumor like myself, not a bad idea at all.
Might I also suggest a "scan" command that can be used to spot what kind of power reroute the targetted ship is using?

that will be hard
i asked cannon once if we could make /givecash work with IE: /setmsg 1
but we could make the command smaller; /RR O (offensive)/ D (defensive) / S (speed)

/cooldown!
and i agree.
or rather... implement a cooldown before thing starts.
on smaller ships it could be 2 seconds from when you type /offense to when it happens, while on capital ships it could be 10 seconds.

interesting idea but I think your numbers could use some work.
Let's look at some individual classes:
VHF
Shield Regen: 245
Power Regen: 1,100
Offense would put you at:
Shield Regen: 24.5
Power Regen: 1650
Defense would put you at:
Shield Regen: 367.5
Power Regen: 110
Cruiser
Shield Regen: 3,100
Power Regen: 95,000
Offense would put you at:
Shield Regen: 310
Power Regen: 142,500
Defense would put you at:
Shield Regen: 4,650
Power Regen: 9,500
With the 90%/50% you've suggested, you basically become unable to fire weapons in defensive mode regardless of shipclass, while only gaining a negligible increase in shielding. In offense mode, the power regen is probably significant enough, and the shield regen nerf would only be an issue in larger ships which cannot dodge enemy fire (in this example a cruiser could stay at range and gain the benefits of the power regen buff while not worrying about getting hit, a battleship or heavy cruiser on the other hand would be getting pummeled).
I think a straight 50% gain 50% loss split would be more appropriate, or even a 50% gain 75% loss split.

If this would happen, weapons like the SNAC would have to have their energy usage increased so people can't continually fire them IMO. Somehow, I don't really want bombers like the Barghest to be able to fire two SNACs in a short period of time.
