Weapon use for particular rank? Craft utility slot?

[Amiga]

1. Just wondering how difficult would be creating condition where for example Heavy Plasma could be used only by Captain rank ect.

2. Another thing - craft utility slot for additional shield,  acceleration ect.  would it be also possible?

The first - no, not currently possible. Yankes suggested a script may make that possible in the future. Right now you can make weapon power scale based on rank in OXCE+ though.

The second - yes, many of the mods that use OXCE+ have exactly that. Piratez has a number of examples such as shield generators, extra engines/thrusters, increased radar range, etc.

That's great regarding utility.. I definitely need to check it

UPDATE
Utility slot works perfectly!

I wanted one that restricts the type of armor based on rank. I was thinking only the captain, commanders and lieutenants should be able to wear the MAG ION ARMOR. So if you wanted to have all 26 aquanauts wearing the best armor for the final battle, and you only get 1 commander for every 23 aquanauts, you would have to have like 230 total soldiers. Or, take along some ensigns wearing the plain ION ARMOR.  Seamen can wear no armor but able seamen can wear the basic plastic stuff.
