OK so to get some context I'm thinking of this after Hull update, ship yard update, Hyper-drive update, and thruster update.
So from some of the form threads I read there is talks with the hyper-drive to have some speed debuff to incurage its usage on only large ships.
I also seen this type of thing for factory on ships.
So what I'm suggesting is that if a ship has a shipyard block, Hyper drives, or maybe death star core, then they get a capital ship effect.
This effect would change how the scaling of different systems work on the ship.
For example all capital ships would be limited to lets say 20% server speed limit.
Now not all is bad as the effect would also increase the shield capacity per block of shield capacitors and you would have 100% recharge in combat with maybe less power usage.
Before you say its op shields would no longer protect agents 100% damage. There would be a bleed through on shields. The bleed would be based on % of block effected so don't think that your ship will die with shields up because it wont.
Weapons of non capital ships are more likely to do bleed and missiles even more. Armor would decrease bleed.
There would also be some type of auto repair which would be really slow. It would work faster on Advance hull then it dose with systems. But if blocks are destroyed out right then it is much slower. Lets say a nuke dose full damage when your shields are down then expect to wait a few hours for auto repair to fix everything. shipyards would be a faster approach.
By the way when I'm talking about ship yards on ship I am thinking home world so look the game up to what I am talking about.
If you guys have any suggestions on how to improve a capital ship effect or how to implement it then I'm all for hearing. I may not have listed all details about bleed or other effects but I want people to come up with how to make them work.
The systems I mention would also have there own effects that no respectable capital ship would go without.
