[Idea]Command and Control Equipment

[Fletcher]

With this idea, a capital ship with enough computing power, such as the Lane Hacker Spyglass, or the Order Recon Cruiser, maybe Carrier class vessels can now mount a new piece of equipment that is intended to act as a "Force Multiplier".

The AWAC equipment (defensive package) is a stronger sensor and computer package intended to scan and identify targets at a further range, while also have the the force multiplier of attempting to disrupt enemy weapon systems. The only way I can think of is a passive +20% chance to counter missiles with CM's, chance to automatically counter missiles for allies in the area without the use of CM's and grant that effect to all allies within a certain proximity.

The Fire Control equipment (offensive package) is a large computer with the sole purpose of linking with nearby allied vessels and aids their onboard computers with targetting data. Meaning that missiles and torpedoes will track more effectively, especially for fighter craft due to their lighter computer packages. This could lead to budd of missile tracking speed of +20% while granting capital ships extra firing range for their counter-capital weapons, such as Mortars and whatnot. (Likely balance breaking).


I'm unsure how possible any of this is, but giving actual combat support roles to ships that in lore/roleplay should aid that battle in some form without the use of weapons is an appealing prospect. Encouraging people to co-ordinate with support ships, protect them and give big bonuses to fighters in fleet sized battles.

Balance wise, is probably going to skull-bum it, still though, feedback?
