Some random ideas to make Servorum outfits unique

Amazinite commented 7 years ago

I'm wanting to give the Servorum their own T1.5 outfits. Here's some random ideas on what to do with them.

Have their steering outfits of a certain grade be bigger than the thrusters, unlike all other races where the thrusters are bigger than the steering.
- To compensate, all thrusters have integrated afterburners that instead of consuming fuel produce a massive amount of heat and require a lot of energy.
Instead of using AM turrets they use large jammers that fit onto a turret slot.
Wanting the Particle Accelerator to be something the Servorum made before splitting off from the Dominion (#51). Suggest having other Servorum weapons be similar quick-burst weapons
No shield generators, but most outfits have slight shield generation to them.
Overall run cold but have high energy requirements.

Everything sounds good in my opinion, don't know what Friendly feels about it though.

I like the idea of integrated afterburners that don't use fuel

Thinking up some random names.

Engines (Names after constellations)

Tiny: Aries Small: Draco Medium: Hydra Large: Orion Huge: Sagittarius

Energy Storage (Names after gemstones)

Tiny: Zircon Power Storage Small: Sapphire Power Storage Medium: Ruby Power Storage Large: Emerald Power Storage Huge: Diamond Power Storage

Energy Generation (Random names)

Tiny: Piezoelectric Generator (name sounds cool, but the actual method of electricity making is probably completely shit IRL. Also not alphabetical, soooo....) Medium: Cold Fusion Reactor Large: Gravitational Induction Core Huge: Plasmatic Fusion Ring

Cooling

Small: Dynamic Heat Pump (the dynamic part is to make it sound cool) Large: Absolute Zero Cooling

Just need to give them some more weapons.
