Would it be possible to redesign the game so that different ships have different impact explosions when hit by the same weapon?

You could for example have a vessel built with a beam-reflective hull (such as the Excalibur from B5).

Or am I just trying to make life too complicated?

It would be difficult, but not impossible. When I created my Alpha Quadrant Project last year, I would have loved to have had a green explosion effect for the Borg Cube (like in ST:FC).

What I was thinking of in particualr was a new 'flag'.

For example, the flag 'reflective' with new lines for a damage modifier (so a reflective ship would take less damage from beam weapons but more from ballistics) and different impact explosions in .weapons.tbl.

Unfortunately I'm pretty useless at code so I wouldn't know where to begin.

Get Komet's fs2 source MOD. It can be picked up from a thread at this BB, but I think it is a few pages back.
