Now that we have Engines, batteries, and weapons.. How would adding an Extras/Misc sound? Sorry if it's been mentioned or thought about, but perhaps a new type of thingies can be put in.
Like a stealth module, an armor-enhancement or Shields, Maybe we can use those Short-range and Long-range Monitoring equipment as radar extensions?
An idea like this, mentioned by someone else, is like Limited Supplies. Can have traders go get these items from the sectors they're being sold. For example, every 1 high grade reactor fuel, 100 Boost-a-Paks are made available to add an extra (number) +50 m/s on use. or if you use low-grade, 10 'Paks are there to buy.
Err, but these misc's are probably already in the works. so..

The most wanted thing i want, taken directly from the ev series with a slight change (due to how weapons work in vendetta).
They're two items in ev, one that converts cargo space into weapon space, and one that converts weapon space into cargo space
they do so by taking 15 cargo space and changing it into 10 weapon space, this is the cheap version, it's reversable.
vis a vis for more cargo space.
Then they have the not undoable version, 12 cargo space into 10 weapon space.
This is expensive, and not all stations in ev provide this service.

basically change it to this:
10 cargo spaces to 1 weapon space.
This is undoable.

6 cargo spaces to 1 weapon space.
This is not undoable

Then:

1 weapon space to 4 cargo spaces
Undoable

1 weapon space to 6 cargo spaces.
not undoable.

Hows about a cargo scanner? which lets you see if a ship has cargo at distance, and when close up what that cargo is. Or a eaves dropping device which will give you garbled team chat of opposing nations which are sent _from_ your current sector. Or like you said a cloaking or masking device which will make you harder to detect at low speeds or untargetable at the normal distance.

I like the idea of putting cargo space to use other than cargo, but could see it taking some serious abuse with the current sunflare situation, definately a suggestion for when that problem starts to get sorted out.

No...no...do not let cargo space become weapon space...BAD idea.

Or, if you do, then make it so attack craft don't have any cargo space to convert at all. Some of these ships really don't need more guns.

I wasn't necessarily thinking along the lines of a weapon mount, but rather storage for munitions, hence the reference to the sunflare issue.

already exists. Lots of ideas in this thread, I think I'll give it a bump.
