An "Armor" component based on ST: Voyager

Black_Knyght · #1 February 27th, 2008, 12:12 AM

I was watching an episode of ST:Voyager, and they mentioned the Borg Cube had a kind of "regenerative armor". Later, Seven of Nine refered to it as "Nanotech Molecular Armor".

As a result I was wondering - Is there a means to create an armor type that would "Regenerate", albeit slowly, some off the damage done to it?

After some replies to a post over at SpaceEmpires.net, this is what I came up with.

It's geared, at the moment, for the Assimilation Masters of the Masters Mod 1.7

This is basicly the same as stock organic armor. The main drawback, as with organic, is that armor regen is 'all or nothing'. Until enough regen ability is amassed to restore an armor component, nothing is done. The upside though is that all armor with regen is automatically repaired after combat, as long as at least one armor plate is undestroyed.
