Is this possible with nova. Say for example the mission is your fighting a task force. One ship in the task force has an outfit then actives, makes the rest of the ships in the task force shields regen at a faster rate. If that ship was destroyed the task force shields would go back to their normal rate of regen. Is their a way to do this?

Chances are: NO. A lot of the posts on the board suggest that the Nova AI does not know how to use outfits aside from the cloaking device.

The AI doesn't use the cloaking device as an outfit, it uses it as an ability.

I don't think any oütfs can affect other ships in a task force anyway (besides an area cloak I believe).

You could try the following...
---Warning! Stupid Hack Alert!---
Make a weapon; make it guided, and make it fire very fast. Make it secondary, and make it invisible. Now. Make it have a large blast radius, and explode after a very short time... and make all ships EXCEPT those in the fleet block its guidance 100%. Then, make it do negative damage.
I have no idea whether that will work (probably not), but if it DOES, the ships in the fleet will heal faster while near the one that fires this weapon.

Well yea, that's what I meant. There is that little flag or whatever that says how the ship uses its cloak. I was thinking about outfits like... uh... yea... there aren't any outfits that affect more than the ship, except the "area cloak" and jammers. Ships DO however, use the secondary weapons. But those are wëaps and not oütfs.

Well I would love to make a plugin.. but my graphic skills are at best.. copy and pasting and trimming and scaling images.. other then that.. I am not so good.. I asked a while back if anyone like to help make ships.. had two offers both turned out to be empty air.. the one thing everyone loves about plugins are the new ships.. and outfits.. then the storyline.. in that order.. hate to have to use 100% ships already supplied by the game ships..
That outfitting idea.. haven't a clue what you said.. Maybe you can try it out and tell me if it worked out
