Care if I study your mod?gunship256 wrote:The EI500 has a lot of device slots, but the game doesn't provide many devices to fill them. Atarlost's suggestion at this thread may apply:TheLoneWolf wrote:Scores:
Wolfen @ 9

Looks like the EI500 is having the worst of it. I think I'm partially to blame, as I didn't do much justice to the qualities of the EI500. So if anyone's up, post some of those.
C'mon Shrike and JBW! Save your precious goliath!
I made a mod to address some of the concerns brought up in that discussion. It contains a variety of new weapon and launcher enhancer devices:The answer is increasing the variety of good high and especially low level non-weapon devices. And probably not making the player identify them, or at least not the low level ones.

mmh, but I'm totally a EI500 player, that's all I play, actually. I play a slow heavy armored tank full of missiles and with lots of cargo.
I'm thinking of adding questions that overlook the sorta direct attacks I have been aiming at the one weapon slot of the EI.
Maybe we should add a 30'-45' Swivel mount for every Earth Industries weapon AND 25% boost to EI shields. Its underated tbh.
EI500 is a very good ship. With a good drive upgrade, its only weakness is the two weapon slot limit. You can never have enough cargo space.
There are lots of non-weapon devices to use by mid to late game beyond reactor and shield: Drive upgrade for non-Wolfen for .25c or more, cargo hold expansion for non-EI500 (or even EI500 for special properties), jumpdrive (access to Elysium is a game changer), patcher arm (unbreakable armor repair), quantum CPU (scramble cubes, bonus points at one Heretic mission), and weapon enhancers. Also, if I have plenty of non-weapon devices, install multiple jumpdrives to jump more often. (Last time I played EI500, I had two jumpdrives installed.)

It shows up as an unknown alien device. If you install it and then se it, the jumpdrive will then identify itself.And I have never seen a single jumpdrive in the vanilla
If I loot alien devices, shields, or weapons, I try to save them to sell to the Teratons (after identifying the devices first to make sure they sell for the maximum amount). They sell for a LOT of rins.

Thanks mate!
I thought selling to Ringers made me profit. You made me think otherwise.
