Temporal Shell can stack with Phase ships
« on: December 05, 2016, 09:40:45 AM »

Maybe a bug, maybe a feature, but the Temporal Shell system do not get disabled when a ship phases out, and the effects stack.

[edit] It's hilarious though. With SO and Augmented engines that ship peak at 1200 effective speed.

Hmm - let's go with "feature"? Since if one wants a modded ship with both but with a different interaction, it's relatively simple to adjust the system to make it so.

Fair enough, I'll script something to prevent it on that particular ship.

If you want to just prevent phasing while it's temporal-shelled, you could set noShield to true in ship_systems.csv, that should just work. If you want phasing to interrupt temporal shell, then yeah that's going to need a script.

I embraced the bomb on this one; a particular Ship Pack destroyer doesn't just stack phase and temporal shell - the effects multiply and lead to a time-stop effect (at the cost of CR).

Ha!  I remember considering a time-stop effect for the Scarab but deciding it might be a *tad* bit irresponsible in that case. Glad you're doing it :)
