What can be added is ship systems like in a dread their is an engine reactor a shield reactor and a power reactor. If your jump drive needs quick rechargin just bypass the shield reactor to the engine! Simple huh? Or if they add disabling when your hull reaches from 1-5% but your energy is at 0 than you are disabled which means you can't move than people can capture you unless you manage to bypass all reactors to engine and emrgency jump away!

Sounds like a good idea to me. It would make it more of a challenge.

Sadly, this is not possible because 1) All devices in DarkSpace are believed to have the best cooling systems, barring enhancements, meaning that things don't get ready faster than they already are; and 2) DS does not have any sort of advanced systems administration for ships. You can't tell a beam to stop firing the instant it kills a missile, and tell it to target 10 missiles a second.
Just a sort of analogy, but it gives the idea...
All features are scheduled to be added in the game after Two Weeks™, when Faustus finally gets time to think on them.

Nah... we don't have a fat ugly Scottish engineer to do all that complex bypassing. She just can't take anymore of this Cap'n.

Well the idea came from eve online were I saw their is the system and for dialing I saw that from the game ev nova. Or in simpler terms the aux reactor will do the same thing that I said on the first post. Than threre is no need to add the reactor beacause it is already there.

I like the idea, though I'm not sure if it would be possible in DS due to the way things are coded. I could be wrong, Faustus and the development team have released some really large changes before.

they really should double the hit points of everything, ships, plats, troops... everything, the battles get funner the longer they go on, and that would make for much more enjoyable tactics and strategy while in larger battles, give the ships the feeling of being larger and tougher as well..

I like this idea.. I have actually been pushing for something similar.. An Energy Management system, basically allowing you to transfer power for specific needs.. Like "transfer all power to weapons!": makes weapons cooldown much faster, but also slows sublight speed, jumpdrive recharge, and shield regeneration (if applicable).. ETC.

you know the game uprising ? (its quite old)
there you could shift your power from engines (higher speed) to shields (higher recharge) to weapons (higher rate of fire) while reducing the other two
but since only icc use shields.... dont know if it is such a good idea

Darkspace's energy management is like this.
Each device has its own energy charge and fixed energy drain (enhancements can change this). If you fire or use the device it will automatic recharge at its fixed drain ratio.
If you don't want to have that drain, don't use the device..
If you want all power to the shields, stop firing your weapons, disable specials.
If you want all power to the weapons, disable specials and shields.
If you want all power to the engines, well to bad engines are energy generators.
But if you want all power to the jump drive, stop firing, disable specials and or shields.
I expect that the energy system won't change. Due to the fact that should it change we would have to change the entire gadget system.
It was a good day, but not so good to die..
