Ray Shields & Particle Shields

Create 2 classes of shields. Right now we just have ray shields that are great against lasers but let bullets through eventually. Add particle shields that stop bullets but let lasers through eventually. o7

PDC Toggle in Engineering for ships or Missiles

When PDCs were first introduced, they served their intended purpose: shooting down missiles. Since then, they have effectively become anti-ship weapons as well, and that has created a balance problem. Solo players can fly capital ships loaded with PDCs that defend against both missiles and other ships with no crew required. This undermines the multicrew gameplay that capital ships are meant to encourage. Proposed Change PDCs should be restricted to a purely defensive role: point defense against missiles and small, fast-moving targets, not general anti-ship weapons. To bring this into effect, I propose the following: Engineer requirement. PDCs should only function when activated by an engineer, either at an engineering terminal or from a dedicated engineer seat on capital ships. Without a crewed engineering station, PDCs stay offline. Target mode toggle. PDCs should have a toggle between two modes: anti-ship or anti-missile. They should not be able to target both simultaneously. Switching modes should require a player actively in the seat, not an automated or default state. This change would restore PDCs to their original purpose while reinforcing the multicrew design that larger vessels are supposed to demand. It also removes the current advantage solo players have in flying capital ships with full point defense and anti-ship coverage without any crew support.

Backpack hooks

A place to hang your backpack before sitting in a seat. That retains the weapons attached to it. So that it is easy access to grab. Like in the Prowler, Valkyrie, TAC, Steel and Hoplite. The drop ships having a place for backpacks to be attached so that the realism of sitting in a jump seat with a huge kit on is maintained. When the Super Heavy Armor is added it will be a good thing for the juggernauts to place their packs.

Scale down Gs for all ships to under 20g

This will subtly slow down combat and make escaping danger for the quickest ships take longer. Right now the quickest ships have too great an advantage from quickness.
