Not sure that this can be modded.

After looking at the editor and adding different ship types I am wondering if the ARS class could be added. It would require a new "type" of ship along the lines of the AG/AR/AS/AD. Since the game engine won't allow towing it would be used in an escort TF. This ship would provide two things;

1) It would reduce the random chance of an increase in damage to the a crippled ship its escorting.

2) It would increase the random chance that ships company can repair minor system damage.

The ARS modifiers would not work in ports it would just be used while in the escort TF helping a single cripple as she tries to return to a forward base for emergency repairs.

If this can't be modded, is it something that might go into a later patch?

Nope, and nope. Sorry.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have never encountered major system damage...or do you mean weapon system damage?

[oldman45]

no, i ment minor system damage. It represents pumps etc that if there is system damage it increases the chance the ship will suffer increased floatation damage.
