Creating new augments?

[fylth]

Basically I've had an idea for ship that would be fairly unique, however to work it would require a new augment, one that isn't really like any of the existing ones. So I was wondering if augment creation is possible, or if I'll have to wait for official mod tools?

You can't create new augment effects, but you can mess with the magnitude of existing ones. I wouldn't wait around for official mod tools since the devs have stated they have no intention to create any.

In that case I'll have to wait to see what happens with that rewrite of the game that was being made, the one with more open access to stuff like this. None of the existing augments are similar enough for this to work

Would it be possible to rename an augment, but only for one ship? As in, making a zoltan shield specifically for one ship that has a different name, but leave the name the same for all the other ships?

[thashepherd]

Nope, at least no way that I've been able to figure out.

Dang :/ I'm making a new ship with a retextured renamed zoltan shield. Well, it doesn't matter much anyway.
