Hellstorm Slot Update

This idea is one that I've wanted for ages: To replace the Hellstorm slot with a Utility slot. This wouldn't remove Hellstorm Launchers, but would simply allow different (NEW!) things to be equipped in their stead. I wouldn't mind if an extra shield or laser could be placed there, but that's not the point. The point is new items:

Accuracy:
Targetting Device - +5% accuracy for all weapons (5'000'000c)
Tracking Device - +10% accuracy for Rockets (300'000c)
Hawkeye Protocol - +10% accuracy for Lasers (100'000'000c/75'000u)
Stargazer - +12% accuracy for all weapons (150'000u or reward from gate?/quest?)

Evasion:
Duranium Gyroscope - +5% chance to dodge enemy attack (10'000'000c)
Palladium Gyroscope - +7% chance to dodge enemy attack (50'000'000c)
Auxillary Warp Drive - +12% chance to dodge enemy attack (100'000u or reward)

Interception:
Missile Interception Battery - 50% chance to dodge enemy rockets (5'000'000c)
Magnetic Hull - 95% chance to dodge enemy rockets (100'000u or reward)
Controlled Detonation Chamber - 90% reduction to mine damage (100'000u or reward)
Detonation Shield - 50% damage reduction to rockets, kamikaze and mines (150'000u or reward)

Other:
Inferno Armour - Immune to Freeze effects (125'000u or reward)
Electrostatic Armour - Immune to Slowdown effects (125'000u or reward)
Behemoth Armour - +50'000 Max HP (125'000u or reward)
Pulsating Plating - +20% shield leech using SAB/SAR (150'000u or reward)
Experimental Gear 2c-66-B - 10% damage reduction from all sources (Reward Only)
Reconstruction Chamber - 15% reduction of laser ammo consumption (250'000u)
Heart of Cubikon - HP regenerates 50/sec per Flax, 125/sec per Iris/Apis/Zeus even in battle (Reward Only)
Purpose of Protegit - Drones give 0.25% boost to equipped shield power every 1% drone damage (Reward Only)

WARNING: It should not be allowed to equip an item more than once (eg so a citadel can't use 2 Auxillary Warp Drives with Evasive Maneuvers and become zoomzoom)

 

I say no.
If UFEs get these things...
Yea, I think most of the remaining players will leave...

 

sry , but is bad idea !

 

I kinda like the idea above, but not totally. First, I see that there are too many items there that give too much power. If we look from the UFE side, that will make them camp every map and kill everything on the way. On the other side, players will have to equip only items like miss chance or whatever was there to be able to survive. That means, someone else forces you how to play the game, not how you like it.

Because of the reasons above, I will say NO too.

PS. Maybe this idea will be good if you remove items like: can't be frozen, or increase SAB leech and so on. Also, you need to twist the numbers, cause you say: 95% chance to miss rockets. Hell NO. The numbers are out of mind. If we start talking like small chances 5% or something at maximum, than it will be another story. Like this it won't work.

What I am talking about is to remove the Interception and Other category items, cause they just won't work, they ruin the style of the game it is now. Those 2 first categories, lower the chances maybe to up 5% or something. This is just my idea, this doesn't mean you have to accept what I said.

 

I like it, however it may be easier to make a utility slot and employ base modules instead.
Allow it so that some of these abilities are unlocked by chance when you upgrade it in levels.

 

People seem to think that they're all equippable at the same time. Given that one Hellstorm slot exists, it's clear that you remove the hellstorm and have 1 slot for one of these items. (Except citadel) I'm not sure how these items are too much given that there can only be 1 equipped on most ships.

 

Why not just place it in one of the extras slots?

Enjoy the game.
