Hullmod Contest Winner
Congratulations to VandalVagabond and Commander Phoenix for being accepted and have their ideas implemented into the mod!
They're not exactly the same as what was proposed as some are just too plain powerful and needed adjustments. Of course, this is just the first draft and will be subject-to-change until release day. At least the ideas are there though!
Wadaya guys think?

Personally I like both of them! ECR is a cool alternative to Safety Overrides for in the Face Energy Cruisers and the like while EAA, thought not as useful, could save a bunch of Destroyers from dying to that last torpedo or Missile! Or maybe even clearing out a couple extra Flyers before dying! I can understand seeing some buffs/changes being made but I would use them as is already! :v
The ECR seems like it will have some niche use cases. The EAA though, it looks ok on paper, but if your hull is below 25%, that means your armor is stripped and PD is likely the least of your concerns outside of fighting a pure missile/fighter faction.
Finally, I can create a ship with maximum edge.
Happy to see one of my ideas come through! It's even more buffed than what I initially proposed; any destroyer with this is going to become an anti-fighter/missile escort.
The first one appears to be a side grade to safety override with the energy weapon boost at the cost of more damage taken and only activating after flux reaches a certain threshold. But the Emergency Automated Assistance at first glance appears too weak, at 25% hull armor is basically guaranteed to be gone so it's closer to 12.5% total hit points if even that. At that point a few stray hits will do frigate and destroyers in so it wouldn't be much use. Perhaps consider flipping it to activate at 75% hull?
pretty much. we all agreed that some changes are needed to make them worthwhile.
Congrats to those mad-lads!
I got one through after proposing seven hullmod ideas. Winning through quantity! That said, I would not have said no to mass producing Auroran pastry to flood the market with.
Congrats 🗣️🙌
Being honest I would almost certainly never use either of those. Edge is inferior to Safety Overrides in almost every way. It would need to be a lot cheaper in OP to be worth using. Automated… I can’t see being worth it unless it is completely free. Spending OP on slightly buffing point defence when already almost dead is far worse than spending the same OP on not being reduced to 25% hull.
Edge was never intended to be better than SO. It is an alternative however. I do agree about the EAA though.
Looks great can't wait to shove them onto all my ships for "Combat reasons." and totally not to see my whole fleet die
Awesome additions to the already epic arsenal
Good neat
