Could we make an armored jacket adapter that would provide extra protection for a specific gun? Or alternatively could we add a small shield generator?asked by Abyssal Dragon

So, we recently did a pretty full pass on our weapon mounts and weapons, components in general. The big guiding philosophy for that was that these exact sorta behaviours would all be dictated by the mounts that are available. So, we are able to make highly specialized mounts, mounts with a shield, mounts with your AI or your coolant unit or whatever attached to it, um, or like we mentioned previously with the twin link mounts. Things like that would be entirely dictated by the mounts that you have available. So we can make those things pretty specifically and we do intend to, we're only beginning to try those things out. We've started actually making them and we should be able to introduce them pretty soon as they turn out pretty well.

Yeah, I mean we've even just set up where not just gimble mounts even but we want to make sure that fixed mounts get to take advantage of this kind of cool functionality and pretty much any of the mounts on a ship. So armoured sleeves specifically is something that we had been talking about for fixed weapons because we've got to give you the choice of taking a similar sizing loss but now hey that component's going to be really durable and if it's your main gun on a ship that could be worth the cost.

Yeah, generally the rule of anything that's special about the mount costs a size. That's just the guiding principle, we make the decisions on a case by case basis with this, but that would probably apply here.

Yup.
