[IDEA/SCR] Critical Hits/Damage

[F.A.B.]

this runs in my mind for a few days already - how about critical hits?
makes no sense for fighters, sure, but since there are a lot of mods out there, that increase hull and so on, this might be interesting in bigship-to-bigship battles.

eg you fight a m2 in your m2 and as soon as it's shields are down there is a chance of, well, maybe 1% or 0.5% or so, that your capital ship weapons do
(a) critical damage or a (b) critical hit

i'm not a scripter myself and i'm just thinking out loud here, so i leave this all to you. if someone is interested, go nuts...

Possible I presume, make a 1% to do critical damage.

You can not track single bullets or impacts, only a vague "feeling" of being shot at by an unknown quantity of attackers.
If you can implement your critical hits with that - go for it.

It would be far easier not to install a mod that increases hull values.

that's not what i said, i didn't mentioned bullets or impacts at all.
and it's just an idea (one i obviously won't/can't realize). so, if this is something you want to do - fine by me.

less fun either.
