As someone who has only dabbled, I am curious as to what extent SH5 can be modified. I realize its a bit of work on any of these things but I am wondering what is possible with the engine as released.

And I realize some of these things are not possible.

Can additional gauges be made to work? Is there a function to send info to these gauges? (ergo electrical, air storage, ect..)

Could real pressure tanks be created, with working air pressure and air storage?

Can new rooms can be added? Like an electrical locker/panel opening or floor plates lifted up to reveal things?

More Character animations/items. ( Say engineer lifting floor plates to fix something or more realistic animations)

Could characters be solid with a button to hit to "slide" past them?

Could we have a way to see captain on conning tower? "maybe a button to press to add remove him" (Im sure this isnt possible)

Character Dialogue choices additional voice conversations?

Has anything been added or removed affecting how well ship damage and sub damage can be tweaked?

Anything new to help make AI destroyers/merchants behave smarter?

Are there any additional variables for any equipment or weapons?

Can sea floor be tweaked so damage is taken when we hit it? Rocks are solids and stick up from seabed causing damage?

ect...

I guess a run down on any new things that can be done in SH5 would be nice, point me to a thread if there is one.


Just trying to psyche myself up for the future of what could/will be.

Cheers
