' Wrote:This is an awesome idea. I think it should be doable with FLHook magic.
Perhaps use the damage multipliers that are available on weapons against shields and convert them for use here?
This would give good RP material for capital class ships for specific tasks and would also help in giving some capital ships specific support roles for aid in battle or patrols.

Also, these kinda reminds me of the subsystems on capships in "Homeworld II".
Support role ships would be awesome, I am unsure about how the damage boosters would be handled, but it would need to be really thought through to stop support spam...
I guess a good thing for support vessels would be that they don't directly take part in combat, since they aren't meant to, but can if pressed. This could lead to a lot more RP in combat rather than it being axe murderer staring/shooting contests.

Yes, I want them too and that's a better term for them.
