Is it possible to adjust powercore when ship goes out of it's ZoI?
RP explanation: you're out of your bases, your ship needs repairs and supplies you can't find here.
For example 50% when you go one system away and 10% any further.
So corsair dread will have 50% powercore in New Berlin and only 10% in Bering

actually possible. the power core checks for equipt compatibility. it can also check for system compatibility - it has to know where your ship is in order for it to receive damage.

however, this would lead to a big problem. how do you code for the multiple-zoi factions? junkers are in every house except K, zoners are, well, zonerzonerzoner, freelancers are freelancers, and are not tied to any one house.

furthermore, what would be the point of a home-team advantage? this would effectively end wars - as there is no point going on a raid as your bombers can't take down the shields fast enough, cos their powercore is 10%.

im not saying i hate the idea, im saying that it has unintended consequences. for example, an invading force brings fuel, food, ammo, spare socks etc with them on their journey as part of their logistics. however, this explanation came to mind:


your ship's power core is built in the X part of sirius, and is shielded against X frequency cosmic radiation. as you travel further and further into the Z frequencies that you are not shielded against, then you have a corresponding reduction in powercore output.
