You could always mod the game so that some weapons give defensive bonuses against other weapons: Point Defense Laser: +1 beam attack, +1 missile defense Expanding Sphere Generator (from SFB): +5 beam attack, +2 cannon defense, +3 missile defense Armored Depleted Uranium Cannon: +1 cannon attack, +1 cannon defense Phased Polaron Beam: +3 beam attack, +1 beam defense (from phased energy distortions) And just a thought... ca
Hmm, I wonder... can I create a component or tech area which has multiple prerequisites? E.g. if I wanted a "Phased Polaron Beam" which has the requirements of "Phased Energy Weapons" and "Beam Weapons"... Yeah, I know, I should try it out myself, but I'm kind of afraid to mod anything until the mods folder is properly implemented! Or is it already in there, just not documented?
And how about an "auto-upgrade" which replaces all obsolete components with newer versions of the same component (e.g. it replaces Laser I with Laser III, but not with Phasor I, since Phasor I is bigger)?
