The dynamo joe comics also had something else that gave me an idea, called the
leach generator. This pulled power out of any objet that it is in physical
contact with. My idea for this is a pod, launched by a SV ship (like the
biomass muncher pods by beth), except that it draws power from the
ship, preventing certain actions (can apply thrust/no weapons fire/no
sheilds, or no thrust, weapons ok, no sheilds etc), and when powered up, it
detaches from the target, and heads towards a SV ship (say, any ship with a
launch bay, or paracite pod), where the power absorbed can be fed into the
ship for use. I`d say that this power can take a SV ship over the normal power
points avalible, but when used, another pod must be absorbed.
Mass/Cost/Comments anyone?

G'day Bif,

> Mass/Cost/Comments anyone?

Mass is going to be at least 2-3 to produce I'd say and as for cost its
beyond me at first glance but its going to be big, because you're effectively
causing enough damage to threshold all weapons immediately!!! Nice idea, but
I'm not sure you could ever balance without maing it very

unattractive as an actual option for use in a game.

Oerjan will now correct me;)

Cheers
