Arolte we can make the comps only availabe in certain sectors (works with cargo right?)

If we did that would you like the idea

Ok with all this talk about countermeasures and PDS's and other kinda non-weapon things, I think there needs to be a "Specialty Port" Something that mounts electronic devices, like countermeasure systems, radar enhacers, stealth feilds or other kinds of things from "the ever growing toys thread".

That way, all these things don't have to take up weapon ports. I don't like the idea that having a countermesures system should take away one of my large ports, which i'ld rather use for nukes or something.

Dig around for the "Ever Growing Toys thread."

It's in there somewhere. There are a lot of really good ideas.

Incidently, the idea of having an 'electronics port' is like in the second sentence in the ever growing toys thread.

For specialty ports, I'd rather not see 'em on fighters or lighter ships. Just the heavy classes of ships. That or have an S-class and L-class specialty port. But I'm still not too thrilled with everyone buying their own cloaking device or whatever. I strongly believe such devices should only be built into (no extra ports needed) special ships exclusively. Ones that are hard to get and can only be located in hidden sectors and whatnot. If you "specialize" everything up the wazoo, it sort of ruins the fun of exploring and finding advanced technology or going out to find hidden special items/components/ships etc. That's part of what makes an MMORPG fun.
