Proposal: Explicit Spacecraft Equipment Equipping Rules

Passed by quorum 5-1—jay

Adminned at 06 Jun 2008 22:09:25 UTC

In the Subrule 2.5.1 Spacecraft Equipment, replace ‘Spacecraft Equipment can be added to a spacecraft, if there is enough room. All SE has a size statistic, which must be a positive integer. A piece of SE can be on a spacecraft if the Remaining Space of that spacecraft is equal to or larger than the size of the equipment.’ with

All SE has a size statistic, which must be a positive integer. By way of a proposal or as described by a rule, if the Remaining Space of a spacecraft is equal to or larger than the size of a piece of SE, that piece of SE may be added to the spacecraft and the size of the SE subtracted from the Remaining Space attribute of the spacecraft.

This is admittedly pretty trivial and maybe unneccessary, but the previous wording wasn’t really explicit enough, and suggested a piece of SE would somehow be breaking the rules if it were on a spacecraft that does not have enough remaining space to fit it on, even though it’s already there and therefore already subtracted. It’s basically just ‘be on’ versus ‘be added to’.

Why shrink the size when adding SE?  Why not simply do math to check it?

Either that or include in this that when SE is removed from a ship, the size statistic increases.

for It’s not the size.  It is the Remaining Space.

the size of the SE is subtracted from the Remaining Space, the Remaining Space being ‘filled’ by the SE.

sorry, misread that >_< 


Is there anything that says that when SE is removed REmianing size increases?

I didn’t stop adminning the backlog so this is already on the wiki, I’ll revert it if this fails.

Amnistar: No, but it can be fixed very easily.
