I can believe hulls that mount special weapons such that they have little defense. (Stealth bomber!) But I don't buy weapons that of themselves cause an unrelated function of the hull to stop working. (Yes: unrelated: that's why it is tech and not magic.) Personal taste, though. If it does not bug you, don't let me poison your mind. :)Von Keigaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469707993470718130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656651603131896852.post-22834812895477895912014-10-27T09:28:16.061-04:002014-10-27T09:28:16.061-04:00If the price is aceptable, I agree I'd use for...If the price is aceptable, I agree I'd use for stealth bombers, and also for boring POS bashing fleets.<br />Chuck Turinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703794393864401916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656651603131896852.post-36896908771210862202014-10-24T16:29:34.058-04:002014-10-24T16:29:34.058-04:00There could be a scifi reasoning behind it. If we ...There could be a scifi reasoning behind it. If we look at the hardeners as some sort of active element to the system (active in the sense an electric heater is active), not just in our world where there is both powergrid and capacitor you could see them as having been enhanced and changed in such a way that they are dirty in a power sense.<br /><br />Talking electronics for a moment. A dirty supply of electrical power has, things like phase harmonics disruption, spikes, brownouts etc. some things don't mind power that has this kind of noise in it. A resistive heater for example at it's core is just wire that is technically under rated for the power going through it. the reaction is power loss and heat. Since the heater's job is to provide thermal energy to the surrounds as long as the thing doesn't melt, catch fire etc all is good. Something like a sensitive measurement instrument on the other hand (scanning electron microscope, mass spectrometer, and the like) Is negatively affected by power fluctuations etc, computers suffer the same, that is why they have things like surge protectors and other safeguards in them. <br /><br />Suppose that the hardeners, either extra modules the jury rigged crap we throw in them, or things seen as intrinsic to the particular ship were all somewhat sensitive. They have been protected by systems that would keep some level of interference down but all these systems have limits. <br /><br />Into this you stick some really supped up piece of gear, the designers had no care that their equipment was out of spec for the amount of noise it generates on the grid they just wanted max power. <br /><br />The result is simple the hardeners are overwhelmed and their protection cannot keep up with the level of interference so they shut down to protect the internals. why they don't affect other things? Don't know, but it is not beyond the realm of possibility to create a plausible science based explanation.

I just don't see where you would use them for such a harsh penalty. I could see it reducing your ship's base hardness to 0. That's still pretty harsh, but workable. Or alternatively making them do 40% more than base damage could perk people up. As it stands, I don't see them being used at that price/bonus/penalty point.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832373408345873324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7656651603131896852.post-21821885070971879282014-10-24T11:00:08.868-04:002014-10-24T11:00:08.868-04:00Thanks.
