I’ve never seen the power gloves used once, this is for a number of reasons.
It’s job specific
Requires decent understanding of the engine
Spend your shift time overloading the engine
Only works on non-insulated users
Easy to shut down (literally turn off the engine lol)
The big issue is the insulated glove immunity. Considering how half the station has them, that means you can’t kill half the station. Give insulated glove users advantage, like, 90% resistance to the shocks.
However through some discussion on the discord server it seems there are also some parts that need to be nerfed, because gibbing someone at 10MW is extremely stupid, and there is also no sprite indicator of power gloves.
Keep the electric gibbing though, but increase the power needed considerably. Gib at around 100GW, insulated users get gibbed at 1TW. Also, add some sinister looking sprite indication of the power gloves, just lightning bolts around your sprite. Maybe make it more sinister looking the more power you have? That sounds like it would be tough to code but would be cool.
Anyways tell me what you think.
Also, forgot to mention. A very important concept I think should is important for the power gloves is the idea of spending most of your shift maintaining the engine and boosting power, and in exchange you get roughly 10 minutes of dark sith powers.
Put the effort in, you get rewarded
