I'm sure many people saw Cable age mod in the workshop?

I personally love the mod, however I'm fully aware how truly overpowered unbalanced it is, so how about we introduce either hallways or/and armor blocks with integrated cables, but as a counter balance caveat, any EMP Missile or Disruptor that hits ship where any cable is in range, makes that EMP blast GO through the cable either fully or some extra distance and zap/spark to any reactor and/or factory building, temporarily disabling them for short while with a % of starting fires.

It would both give players vanilla equivalent of cables, while also having balance, as you wouldn't be able to just spam them. Maybe make those cable integrated armor/hallway blocks expensive as well as blueprint unlock costly as to make them late game?

Just to add, any shields powered by cables, when hit by disruptors/EMP misiles could be temporarily disabled as well, to counter balance?

so its less "cables" and more "engine rooms but its a capacitor"

#

but then then you EMP it the "resistance" breaks and the capacitors based on power go kaboom

#

resistance is based on cable size

#

so you can have proper laser walls without crew needing to yknow.

#

oh and make it not connect to shields thats just op

#

or do and its only 1 power/ second

#

plus it already blocks corridors

And that would break the main use of capacitors

Engine rooms are functionally a form of cables 🤔

Nah tbh a Weapons Control Room would be great on its own if only to insulate crew from dying while manning weapons
