Additional Armor for Lights

[quaint relic]

Increase armor value of lights from 1000 to 2000, equivalent to an armor wedge, with an increase in mass from 1.0 to 1.5 tonnes to match for balance.
Lore-wise it's got more electronics and metals parts in the space than an empty corridor, so it's justifiable. Make aesthetics a bit less punishing

this actualy could help smaller ships that use a lot of lights for decor, and end up haveing like no armor

i would even like it even more if u could choose between Corridor and Armor.

[muted pike]

oooooooooooh that sounds good

90%speed for corridor mode maby

[quaint relic]

That would defeat the purpose of giving them extra armor if they were a corridor 🤦‍♂️

[muted pike]

one or the other not both

[winter echo]

yeah, hence choose between

i do like that idea

either get an armoured light or a corridor light

I think u missunderstood me, i mean 2 Types of Lights, one with Armor the other one being an Corridor.

[quaint relic]

I understood what you meant. But your options were adding a bit of armor to the existing light blocks, or nothing and they continue to have the armor value of corridor. Adding two entirely new light variants (without bonus armor) that you can walk through would be an entirely different feature

[blazing hollow]

it already existed when Lights were new. they were Corridors with 50% Walking Speed

just have an Armor Variant and an Corridor Variant.

they used to work like that? why did Walt change it that's so cool

[winter echo]

they used to work like that because they used to need power

without the need for power they didn't need to be walkable
