Mothership "Re-Charge"

[Rich™]

I'm surprised this hasnt been suggested before, but couldnt see it in common suggestions.

We all know shields and weapons are energy based in most / all sci-fi shows / books, "Captain shields are at 21%", "Phasar banks are not charged" etc etc. Even more so in SGW Energy Volley... Energy Shield..., kinda gives it away, well they would recharge at a rate.

So here's my suggestion leave it currently as it is, you can 'fast' recharge weapons / shields by buying them with Naq as you do now, but if you dont or dont buy full capacity they slowly "recharge" i.e. you get some shields / weapons free each turn.

I suggest 5% per turn (this is 5% of how many till max, i.e. 20000 capacity 10000 current, you get 5% of 10000, then 5% of 9500), so mathematically it would take a while to fully recharge and never reach zero, although for the purposes of rounding since you can only have whole weapons / shileds it could reach max capacity.

so recharge with 5% of the amount not recharged yet?

if 10k capacity, with 5000 bought, it would recharge 5% of 5000? which would leave 4750 uncharged, then 238 shields recharged turn after, etc...

it is an interesting idea... but probably wouldnt work for weapons, as weapons in stargate dont need to be charged up the same way...

yeah, so on and so forth

shields + weapons on gou'ald, tauri vessels are charged. not sure about asguard / ori (i think they do)

yes, all the shields are as far as we know charged... ori tech is basically same as ancient tech, but not sure if their shields are charged, or if they simply take power from powersource... the asgard shields are charged, as it is their shield tech that is used on the BC-304 ships...

but if this is to be added, one could probably base it on that all shields in stargate are charged...

The main problem with the mechanics of theses games is the fact everything is instant. Attacks, repairs, training and untraining.

I agree and think this idea should cover all things. Arming and disarming, training, and untaraining, repairing, everything.
