I noticed some interesting information was missing with the first version of the article. I was worried I may have shared a lot of information at once.
But the missing part was interesting enough in my opinions, so I added something with an edit. It details player-made designs further.
So the big 'C' is Cables.
Cables is its own thing and needs two components:
| ('C') Cable requirement | The solution on your planet |
|---|---|
| Insulating part | That rubber vine vegetation you found. |
| Conductive part | Any metal on your planet. |
The result of your design will be a "Cable".
It does not have to be the best Cable in the world. But it will be YOUR Cable. You will give it the name you want, and it will have the performance you have designed, and you will be able to use it in YOUR ship, or to sell it to players.
It will have its own performance, durability and so on. But it will be enough to put that on your ship.
As you can see, this model allows for a lot of customisation and player-made designs!
And still about letters, the small 'c' is hyperconnectors (very hi-tech and high performance cables). It shares the same letter because it's the same thing, but may have more requirements.
