hmm a smart one... cool idea

Err.. But nanobots increase ship hull not power so how would that work? It would also mean that no weapons could use power or they would draw upon the ships fuel source. That means every weapon would need to have buyable ammunition.

he meant bats

and yes conventional weapons would be a problem coz of the powerdrain... but that can be changed to 0( or anything else that would be low enough) or you really use projectiles

Stll not seeing how either shield gens or nanobots are going to give you power. Giving the weapons no power usage and not using ammo would make the game pretty hard to balance. Its not a bad idea about the non regenerating power source for the ship. But, maybe the ship itself could generate its own fuel source. When cruising you use it up fast, but when travelling normally you regenerate. It would mean that you would have to plan you journey so that you could make frequent stops to avoid dropping out of cruise and having no power for the weapons.

Or.. you could give the ship a limited fuel for thruster, so once you run out your out of luck til you find a base to dock on.

shield generator w/ large capacity and negative regen&power = your batt-convertor, of course it would have some unpredictable gameplay impacts tying power into the shield like that,but that would accomplish the "fuel" part
