HyperSpace / PhaseSpace

Avoiding Phase Lanes

from Sins Forums

*Updated*

I've just been wondering, is it possible to make an individual ship capable of instantly entering PhaseSpace or Hyperspace without that long delay where the ship gets shot at.

I'm not asking for it to be across every ship like in the "Sacrafice of angels 2" mod, just for one individual ship.

Any help would be appreciated

I've done the above, now I'm trying to see if i can give one individual ship the ability the avoid phase lanes, without the construction of phase stabiliser nodes.

No, its either all ships belonging to an individual race, or none, at least as far as I am aware.

I've done it now, I pasted the Phase Jump Disruptor effects into the Avacado Scout Frigates ability which skips phase jump disruptors. I then changed those effects to be positive and removed the need for researching the ability.

I'm now experimenting to see if I can give an individual ship the ability to ignore phase lanes, basicly make up its own for itself.

no, that is impossible.

However, you could make an ability that makes its current planet, and its target planet both act like phase stabilisors.

Here's a working "Phase Gate Scout" ability I made from the old PhaseScouts mod, it works with 1.17 and Entrenchment:

What it does, is all visited planets are marked as phasegate points.

If you could make it a timed effect, and somehow project the effect to the target system, it could work, maybe you could make a novalith cannon-like projectile with the effect. So the entityBoolModifier "IsPhaseGateEndPoint" would apply to the local system, at the same time a very fast projectile would be fired to the target system (check BuffTechOrbitalCannon), and the projectile would make a "IsPhaseGateEndPoint" effect there, the ship could fly between the 2 systems, and then the effect would wear off.

Well, I'd be interested in such. It would make my Borg Cubes like really using their Transwarp engines :)
