Idea for FTL 2 or future update: new crew skill diplomacy

Postby Metzelmax » Fri May 24, 2013 5:43 am

Hi everyone,
I had this idea yesterday: Since at the moment all events are totally random it's kinda hard to figure out what is the best option to choose if you dont know the event. What's missing are factors that change the random chance.
Like the asteroid shielding event for example. I once successfully shielded the ship with the Stealth B...
It would be great if the random choosing process could be influenced by your equipment and crew levels (like the piloting blue option in the ion storm wreck would be on the crew lvl instead).

With a new skill diplomacy it would perfectly work together: Diplomacy affects how well a non hostile event will work out if you try to talk to them. It increases when ever you leave a event without fleeing or fighting.
Here is the Stuff I made:

And stuff is always better than no stuff, right?
