Three things to consider

[Carme]

First up:
Ships can apply for SRPs that deviate from the norm.
without reading the forums, these can be confusing,
and people might sanction report, wasting time.

New Hardpoint for all vessels:
SRP Badge.
It is an INVISIBLE HARDPOINT
much like armor upgrades, scanners, IDs, etc.

Admins attach an SRP Badge to your ship when you get approved.
It cannot be jettisoned. and if possible to make as such, not tradeable.


Next: Ships have armor *UP*grades, amirite?
of course I am, so now...
how about a DOWNgrade?
(no this is not retarted, bear with me)
For those of us who love to complain that the max transport size is 5k, this is for you:
Cargobay Upgrade, is an item hooked to your Armor upgrade hardpoint,
It hollows out more space on your ship to allow more cargo to be hauled at a time.
The penalty of this is that you *lose* armor from your base armor.


Finally: Extra External Power-Supplies.
Don't we all love how we can stick armor upgrades on our ships, and make them last like there are more than one of the original ship present?
Do you hate how with that, you still can't stick out the cannon to 'splode people like its two to four ships?

This is for you:
Powercore enhancers.
Use some of your overall powercore capacity.
Energy regeneration is increased by this device.
It is also outside the ship, so if your shields go down,
they could very well 'splode your enhancer if they aim true.

The maximum level of Energy Enhancement devices would be 2.5 multiplier for Capital ships.
and 1.75 multiplier for Gunboats and lower.

and these devices would be very expensive.
