Design-It-Yourself Equipment: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay from ''[[Dark Heresy]]'' onseries supports at very least weapon upgrades. Usually alsoand armour upgrades.

** ''[[Rogue Trader]]'' runs on "no two Imperial ships are the same". AsNavy can maintain something like standards under command of one admiral and within reach of one supply chain, but beyond this jury-rigging and opportunism begin. Anything goes, as long as youryou got hull space, power supply and funds canfor takeit, and it...'s actually available at the same place where your ship is docked… A wild array of weapons goes without saying, but there are 10 types of bridges, and as to the extrasnon-essential components, everything from [[Asteroid Mining]] Facility and/or [[Mobile Factory|Manufactorum]] to dedicated hospital deck to temple-in-a-can that can be deployed on a planet of choice and then picked up when they'll build a permanent one - if you're in [[The Missionary|that line of work]]. And those components have different grades of quality with variant adjustments (e.g. it may take less space ''or'' need less power, and Morale is +1d5 rather than fixed bonus).

** ''[[Only War]]'' pays a lot of attention to [[Iconic Item]]s, so it does this more. There are specific patterns (e.g. Elysian Drop Troops use Accatran weapons) or variant patterns (differences between similar equipment built by different manufacturers) used by a given regiment, and on top of that, individual weapon customisations (e.g. making a stock from wood of the soldier's homeworld improves morale; giving a lasrifle longer barrel won't make it a long-las, but increases its effective range... — and weight). And this goes on top, of specific patterns (e.g. Elysian Drop Troops use Accatran weaponscourse) or variant patterns (differences between similar equipment built by different manufacturers) used by a given regiment.

* In the ''[[Master of Orion]]'' series, you are able to design your own space ships. Moreover, ''Master Of Orion 2'' allows [https://web.archive.org/web/20120624041639/http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion_II/Warship_technologies#Weapon_modifications modification of specific weapon group] depending on known technologies, and refitting of existing ship.

* ''Stars!'' allows players to create unified ship and starbase designs by placing components in slots limited by number and functionality types. But no unique ships, every last one belongs to some design scheme (which also serves a purpose: there's rather low [[cap]] on existing designs, limiting "[[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors|redesign race]]", at least until the endgame, since scrapping all ships of a given design wastes much resources even with ).

* The online game ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110514083542/http://www.navyfield.com/main.asp NavyField]'' features customizable World War II ships. You can change out engine, guns, torpedoes, ammo type and quantity, armor, fire control, aircraft, and crew within specified maximum limits based on weight and physical size. Of course, bigger guns have larger shells and on a tiny ship that can really limit your ammo. The guns even have a few quality modifiers for guns where an "L" gun will have longer range but weigh more while a "D" gun of the same caliber will have less range but weigh less.
