id like to see subsystems for shields generators. taking out a ships shield generator takes out that ships ability to charge its shields.

perhaps a few other subsystems as well, my imagination sucks tonight, so i let you come up with those ideas.

[Bobboau]

that's a very good idea, though I'm a bit busy with the decals code right at the moment

[KARMA]

i thought it was already possible using sexps, but maybe making it hardcoded could be a good idea

[Sesquipedalian]

Easy to do.  Make a subsystem called "shield generator" or some such thing, and when the subsystem is destroyed, have the shields-off sexp fire.

[Bobboau]

it would also be relitivly heasy to hard wire

Would it be possible to have it so that if the shield subsystem is damaged it takes longer to recharge? For example if the generator is down to 50% it would take twice as long to recharge.
Or would that be too much work for not very much gain?

[Bobboau]

would probly be only slightly more dificult, the question would be would you really want it, for gameplay issues.

probably instead of damaged shield gens it could be easyer to share the recharging rate with different shield gens: if a ship has two shield gens and one of em is destroyed the recharge rate is lowered to 50%, if there are 3 gens the rate is lowered to 33% for each gen destroyed, etc etc
