Hi not sure if this should be posted here or if it were possible a general ships thread,
This is just an idea but why not have A Ships computer slot, now and then there are something that get upgraded, reprogrammed in the shows,
They could each give different boosts, or reduce cool downs slightly.
My 2nd idea is to have a Hull amour as standard and not as engineer slot, Im sure people do use them but I myself never use them, there are never enough slots to use for engineer consoles.
Ideas that came before for "stuff I would like to see as item slot":
- Warp Core. (Bonuses to various energy levels, warp speed, EPS transfer, stealth rating)
- Hull.
What would Computers do, might be the question? What would it affect?
Maybe:
- Accuracy (Maybe by weapon type?)
- Cooldowns? (Maybe by class or subsystem?)

Hi, Mustum how things at the unseen Universty? im a discworld fan, too bad we can't have a "luggage" following us around.
Accuracy and cooldowns would be a good idea,
As standard it should allow you to keep sensor contact with same faction ships. if you can see same faction ships in the sectort map with what could be called long range scanners, then when you enter a system or deep space encoutner u can't loose contact and get lost in space
a computer could offer some benfites as standard regardless of ship type but also offer some exluvise so far i can think of one for sciense ship,
as above, but also a tacitcal computer could incease the duration of a power, for example the fire at will could last longer.
an computer that improved your enginenering side could increase reverse speed and make the emrgancy power, emeergancy manuvor last longer, or effect your shields,
when you reach Rear admial you could report to a star base for an upgrade that may ur shields more restant to the borg by cycling freqences i think there might be a power like that already.but it still
A sicence computer as well affecting powers could also either give you reseach link to some memory alpha web articles, so that for science ship specfic mission could only be resolved after doing a little reading on some article from the website, to find the clue, the web page content or sample (with the website owners permission)could be about spicese or known diseases in the star trek universe.
but in that case the sicense ship would have to computers, one a slot and one just a research station that a player could load different data pads into, to view articles...
i might think of more later but this just a draft post it could do witha litte sorting more ideas also welcome.
It would be interesting to see what variations of computer one could install.
For example, maybe one type of computer improves the accuracy of the weapons (a targeting computer, say) while another one is better at data processing, so science skills work better.
Just random thinking here on what others might be.
Warp core efficient (buff to speed, or maybe power to get to a certain speed)
Energy efficient (increases the amount of heal from batteries)
Active Inertia Dampener (reduces crew damage)
Shield Focusing (reduces bleed through damage)
I'm sure there's lots more. I just sort of went down the other component list).
A targeting computer could increase the fireing arc of some weapons, depending on level and if its rare itme it could increase from 5 degrees to a max of 20 or 30 maybe.
another idea is a computer could grant u one more bridge officer power of your choice. inserting a different power chip. these could all be level 1 powers maybe at captian level you could have access to level 2 selection. and at vice Admiral level 3 powers maybe.
One idea i've had for a long time is a hardware one, where a wirelse com badge was made that could act as a microphone for chat to other players and could be used to talk to the ship's computer or other in game computers, software permitting. it might reqiure 3rd party software. but still would be lovely,
at some point 5 friends/ players could meet in game and acts as bridge crewe for a ship.
