this idea comes from countless stargate episodes where sg1 has entered an enemy vessel and done some damage
1 So same as sabbing it costs you covert troops but you destroy there weapon capacity
2 It could be another mothership function to smuggle sabbators aboard and your ms has its own covert def to Deffend agaist this i.e secrurity patrols

Doesnt sound too bad, i dont like the idea of a specific MS covert.. and Definately NOT capacities..
but a normal sab being able to target Wepons/shields much like they can target fleets would be nifty

atm to target fleets u need to tear down all weapons , def/strike, u can do 17 sab hit and phase the target, then the target get phased by 1-2 hits each turn.
could be a good thing to sab MS , just using yr cov power vs target cov power and adding an option to chose between sabbing MS weapon or strike/def weaps

I like it as long as it's not capacity, but weapons/shields stored
And don't add more things, just use your covert VS their covert power

lol deni and robe would keep a few 100mil Anit on their MS's.
the other day i was massing someone and they had 100bil More attack than me on their MS i hit them and redid my weps i could never get them down maby this will be a new feature to the massings.
maby ur MS's covert skill is equal to the covert skill u have and u anti is equal to the one u have to make it a little less complicated.

What's with all the MS nerfing suggestions lately? o_O
Not saying that this would be a bad addition, but the game does have much more pressing things that require J's attention.. Although I think I've already said that somewhere last week or so..

Got to factor their shields as well, your strike must of not been enough to break through the defense to hit the volleys
Sounds good, no way will an idea come across to remove capacity... costs to much and people with bigger MS's will go nuts

Tetrismonkey wrote:A very very very awesome idea if I may say so. As its been said, as long as you covert "beats" the other persons covert, you should beable to sab the MS. Treat the weapons and shields on the MS like they are, "weapons". If defense and attack weapons can be sabbed, let the MS shields and Volleys be sabbable.
Also, you could add such cool lines for each "race". Tauri have like "SG-12 succefully makes it aboard Lord Tetrismonkeys mothership "Devestator". Within minutes, c4 charges are planets around the ships main power conduites, causing massive explosions in and around the ship. With the power losses, it renders: 5000 Shields and 5000 Volley Weapons offline.
i like the race custom

, it hink it would be good like aforementioned by me and tetris, treat shields and weapons as sabbable on a normal attack or only those two on a specific MS sab option.. i like the former, and put shield weapons as last on sab list like fleets, so if you keep some stats, your MS cannot be destroyed easily

I'll give you a free go at my MS

(not really)
Though to echo a previous sentiment why is everyone so anti the big MSs.... They are poor and innocent and just sit there being big... yet so many people wish to do them harm! PBMS - Protect the Big MotherShips.
The problem is not the big motherships, it's that everyone else either wants a quick fix to get theirs to the same level or they are unwilling to take the damages that are necessary to mass the big mothership.

big deal to mass a big MS, build yr strike at 40% of target shields and lil weaps strike and 15 at it till it does same lvl.
this idea doesnt have any potential and cant affect normal game play , except sabbing a MS of smoen ascending while in war.
