Ship Effects

[bobc]

During Ship Combat you can select either of the ships to view a summary screen of active buffs and damage effects.  If you have a couple of "combat support" components installed it would be good to get a reminder of what they provide so that during combat you could select buffs that supplement or complement these effects.

Would it be possible to add the effects generated by ship components to the combat effects summary screen please?

Not easily, ship components are a lot different than a magical item or piece of armor.

It isn't out of the realm of possibilities, just won't be a cheap feature.

We'll have to consider the risk-reward here and see if this is something we need.

I think it's still reasonable to keep track of component effects for the ships we have now. If there are Battleships and Battlecruisers though... maybe not.

[Cory Trese]

Oh, the game is tracking them -- it just doesn't keep the kind of data structure around you'd want to list them in a table, mid-combat.

But you make a good point -- components are radically different than gear in other games because of the possibility for large counts.

The summarized dataset might be better, long term, since we could display summaries by deck or for the ship.

I dunno, won't be easy.

Thanks for taking time to consider this.  Not being a coder you don't always realise that a simple request can actually be the equivalent of flying to the moon for you guys!!
