Removable/scanable pod armor and pod weapons - Camnui - 05-01-2016
wouldn't it be a good idea to have Pod armor removable and scanable along with some of the pod weapons? I mean, what's the point of limiting things like the strelka to one person? I want to go on space raids with a few people, you know, clear out the debris field of those drones for ADVENTURE!
It would make that a lot easier if you could scan certain pod parts with the mechanics scanner, who wouldn't want a small army of strelkas? or to pay fat stacks to arm up a small group with the laser array you can buy at the diner?

After some discussion on IRC the higher tier ones should take some absurd material costs and make times, meaning while you can mass produce them it'll take a while.

Making pod armors/pod weapons scannable removes the point of procuring large amounts of credits for multiple copies of the same armor/pod weapon.
The strelka is the only pod armor and weapon (along with some others) you cannot procure - all others can be fabricated or purchased in large quantities if you have the materials/credits for it. It would work a lot better to make them purchaseable at some location.
