Fermion Field

I'm thinking I can modify the Descent's Special weapon to create the same effect as the Fermion field from STO. But I just need to know which odf to put the hull regen line in. There are four odfs, shieldreset, shieldresetA, shieldresetAo, shieldresetB. I can't figure out which odf to use. What is the purpose of this weapon being a replace weapon? I've looked at the guide for the shieldemitter classlabel but couldn't find any other useful information. What line do I use to have the weapon restore hull? Would it be similar to shieldamout only it would say hullamount?

Hull cannot be regenerated except by a negative hull draining weapon, such as available on UniOrdnance.

So there's no way of combining the two abilities to have a similar function? I may just have use the shield-reset and just increase the range and time the sprite is visual. Or have a separate weapon that regenerates hull (Hazard Emitters?). One other question....does the corbomite reflector still work in FO or is there something I have to play with to make it work? I want to try and get the same function as the shield bubble.

You cannot use the same classlabel for both functions, no. If you use a replaceweapon and uball, you can have affected vessels hit by both effects (using two separate weapons on the uball).

Yes, carbomite works just the same as in A2

What about using the 'regeneration' classlabel? as i recall that weapon recharged both shields and hull at a steady rate for as long as the ship had special energy. If I also recall there is a mod on A2Filefront that turns most of the special weapons into wave versions. Would that be possible?
