[UI] customizeable ship?

i was thinking itd be cool to have a ship with interchangeable abilities. say if there was a pool of 5-10 abilities (they could add more abilities in later updates) and you could switch them out while having 3 possible slots to put them it.

be a cool thing to add on to wouldnt it?

havent thought of any details like speed or gun/shield slots but you guys could debate that down below. my only idea is something with this sort of ability would have to be balanced with a slightly weak base ship, like a spearhead. spearhead is highly tactical, but on its own rather weak with its few guns and low base hp, but if used right can be frustrating at the least

 

Unfortunately, the elites of the game will misuse the power that could come with it.
You could have an ability to repair yourself, plus another to do more damage. Not a good idea.
-1 from me D:

 

What would be interesting is if the abilities were non damage dealing to quell replies like the one above this one.

 

its up to big point what they do, so thats not likely anyway

 

It would, which would really get me interested in it. There are a number that fall into this category that would go great with what I am working on doing.

 

As this is an interesting idea, it would however take away from the reason for having a certian ship. It would also make it difficult on newer and lower level players during PVP. As many players know what the abilities of certian ships so they would know if they could possibly fight or not. However to allow players to change these abilities with various ships would put lower level players at a greater disadvantage.

Thank you for taking the time to post your idea.

not if you made the ship itself an easy to get item, then make the abilities seperate, (extra way to monetize if you decide) that would make it equal opportunity if you made the abilities all quest items

 

Or pay to have each ability from a list of new abilities that offered things like:
ship repair / similar to the aegis
resource boosts / boost box income by 10%
evasive maneuver boosts / boost or grant 20% boost.
combo pet protocols / combine 2 pet gears or protocols.
cloaked ship detector / just like the indicator in the x-1 maps.
Phasing / take no damage from aliens and or enemies for 30 sec. with a 5 min cooldown.

 

Note: The thread will be re-opened only if the OP requests for it.

Enjoy the game.
