Industrial-Grade Cores/Engines

Post by Arcalane »

One thing I'm concerned about is the viability of constructing non-military-grade mining ships, so I was idly considering adding industrial-grade cores and engines to the list. They'd have looser restrictions - instead of having a maximum output devoted to weapons, they'd have a maximum output per weapon, only powering weapons of that level or lower - and I'm considering adding a discounting to both them and the civilian cores so that ships cost less if they're using them.

Of course as the initial results showed, the Civilian Cores and Engines were a little too good, so I'd like input on possible stats (I don't have a proposal right now), comparison to the existing engines, and reasoning behind any suggestions.
