Smuggler Archive

I was reading some other bloke's thread about slicing ship parts and it got me thinking.

I can understand the Devs argument about keeping the ship systems balanced and not tinkering with them via slicing... so I propose the following:

An ability that will allow a smuggler to add/remove starship components while in space. Imagine the possibilities. You just finished a battle with a gunboat in your Kimogila/TIE/Z-95 and your engines are all but disabled.

Instead of limping back to the closest station which may be over a parsec away, imagine taking a few seconds to swap out the bad drive, and put in a brand new one.

The PvP battle possibilities are endless too. Just when you thought you disabled the reactor on that TIE Aggressor, he plops in a new one and is back on your a$$.

I thought it would be cool.
