Changeable Powerpacks?

[Aemx]

Well, this is my idea:

Just like you can equip different shields with different recharge rates and modify your ship's stats with the Armor Upgrade Modules, would it be possible with power as well?
So, capacity upgrades, charge rate upgrades... That'd be fun. And it would make the game even more customisable, so with tons of money you could get your dream guns.
Of course, all the base power stats would have to be lowered, so the difference isn't that much... And the price should be around twice the Armor Upgrade ones.

What do you think?

well, it can be done, but the problem is then you would have a fast fighter with like 4 codenames

good idea tho, im sure it can be done

[Korrd]

It is doable, but it might unbalance the game.

I played a mod that had this option, and it is my personal opinion that sometimes less is more. The mod I speak of had several options like this, and it does get to a point where it becomes too much. Way too much imbalance.

too much stuff to think about buying when you start a new char. plus igiss said he's not making any more mountable goodies.

This is easily doable... well, relatively easily in comparison to what was already done, but I won't be including any power upgrades or exchangeable power packs. Power is one of the ship stats for Discovery, especially for the large ships. If upgrades will be present, they will become a necessary part of equipment that everyone is getting, like thrusters. And everyone will be heading for the top one.

Also, this will obviously spoil the balance of weapons that depend on high energy consumption.

Yeah, if you could increase weapon energies, everyone would fly the Eagle is my guess.

[Photuin]

Theoretically, we could restrict it, like weapon and shield classes.

[bluntpencil2001]

Why bother then? People will always use the high-end ones.

The ships are fine as-is really.
