Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Reasonable only if locked ship is totally inoperable.inaccessible. Additional features that do things like leaving Orca bays accessible should require an additional automation module slot per feature active.

I think ECM should logically jam all attempts to unlock ship and board ship or to put ships in maintenance bay.

Finally hacking lock idea is a problem. In the end you are talking a specific module with customized cycle time to hack "parking brake". IF pure skill done brute force then alarm goes off immediately even if you eventually succeed -- meaning CONCORD is there at like 20 seconds. If pure skill elegantly done no alarm ever goes to CONCORD even if you fail.

So overall this may not be worth anyone's time for mining. Sounds more like for hiding a spare ship at a safe point as backup or to switch to in a system without a station.

Logistics Scrambler:

A midslot module that prevents tLogistics from supplying any reps to friendlys.

Works like a warp scrambler but does not shut down MWD or count as tackle

This would be beneficial to small roaming gangs and give frigates more roles in fleet combat rather than just fast tackle and bounce spots.

Range should be no more than 15, should use low cap and 1pg with 30 or Warp Disruptor II CPU.

why not make a wormhole gun? could set it up similar to how you need a cyno to jump a capital. it could create a random size wormhole to the beacon location. but when activated when not in wormhole space the wormhole gun would simply make one to a nearby spot in space or system. it would also have a new set of skills and possibly ships specifically made for it. it could even be made to use charges and for the cyno lighting ship it could use something similar to liquid ozone.

Pos Obfuscation Array.

When anchored and online this removes your pos and all of its arrays(including this one) from DIrectional scan.

If you warp to the moon where the pos is anchored it will still appear on overview once in range. It will still also still be visible.

I've been thinking of a t III mining barge "Golem"
4 high slots
4 mid slots
1 low slot
12k m3 cargo capacity
slower than a snail
will definetly need more skills than is needed to pilot a hulk

also maybe an industrial carrier something that has bonuses to mining and repair drones

and my last would be a cargo drone (fighter or heavy size) that can carry a smaal amount of cargo to a station you choose but does not return and store itself in the station

Expanded cargo with no penalty for hauler/industrial ships of any kind. Including orca, mining barges, exhumers, and rorqual.

Expanded cargo increase with no penalty for having more then one modules.

Warp stabilizer - lose the penalty on warp stabilizers for all industrial ship, mining ship, and capital industrial ships. And increase the warp stabilizer to unstoppable to warping out.

Expanded Drone Bay (new) - Like expanded Cargo but for Drones and add 200m3. Its just more room for carrying drones. No Penalty or -200m3 from cargo hold that is converted to use as drone space. Other version just takes more room for the single modules

Drone control increase - 25 Mbit to 200 Mbit no penalty. For launching 5 heavy drone using a cruiser.

Everything above I suggest will only take 20 minutes for a developer to change.

Warp scrambler destroyer - If you are being warp scramble and you have a warp stablizer greater then the warp scrambler. The warp scrambler is destroyed with rippling effects through out the ship.

Energy neutralizer and absorbers destroyer - same as above.

Aliens modules - if the ship is destroy and there's wreckage and any attempt to salvage it will be infected by aliens killing the crew and ship in 5 second your dead too. Be-careful who you steal from. but it will also infect the original owner so anything you have is noncollectable. .

A mid or low slot item that when activated attaches your sentry drones to your hull. They are still vunerable to targeting but move with your ship now. <-- I have been wishing for this for the longest time (please do consider).

Edit 1:
I would like to suggest also that the modules that allow ships to controll an extra drone are limited to carriers. This has always bothered me. It is a high slot item. Just make it use a turret/missile slot and then you trade a turret for a drone. It should also add an appropriate amount of bandwidth depending if its a large or small drone controll module and consume an appropriate amound of pg and cpu. I think the players should be allowed this option. Please consider reducing the cpu requirements for the extra done module currenly limited to carriers. Carriers get massive drones and extra drone bonuses inherently by the ship above and beyond these mudules. Currently drone players are required to multiskill in both drones and guns and not allowed to make full drone ships except carriers. On the other hand full missile or gun ships are not uncommon. Please consider. Thank you.

I would also like to point out a problem. Sleepers seem to prioritize targeting drones and blowing them up quickly making them close useless in worm hole space or so I have been told with only a little experience myself. I have experienced this kind of myself using sentries once in a worm hole. I have heard horror stories in which drones are better served as chaff and decoys allowing people to escape. Please consider a solution to this problem in which drone players are royally dissed. Maybe consider an automated drone repair system that automatically repairs drones if they are in range. It should also not require you to target the drone. Possibly high or mid slot item.

Edit 2:
I also really like idea #955 about converting titans into mobile bases.

Edit 3:
A tractor device that applies a force in your direction on a ship and an equal opposite force on the user. The force decreases with distance maybe 10km complete drop off and insta drops off at 100 m. Could possibly be used as a way to sling shot around other ships to increase orbital angular acceleration or even sap their speed to you if properly used. <--might be hard to implement.

A weapon that when activated allows you to ram a ship taking damage to your ship but giving a larger damage in return to the agressed ship. (agressor shields weapon) attack damage dependant on attacking ships mass and speed. Smaller ships do less damage but also take less damage as they should but can be increased with speed. In high sec space this would be recognized as a weapons attack is used on a neutral ship and concord repercussions might follow.

One of the best ideas yet.

I was wondering if CCP has something planned regarding black ops. Are you planning adding some extra feature or module that can be fitted on BO/Cov-ops boost that poor ship? also are you guys planning to improve cov-ops subsystems on T3 i.e. give them ability to light cov-ops cyno like other cloakies can do?

Wormhole connection booster
(not a ship module but a deployable)

Features:

• Adds significant mass regeneration to the wormhole (depending on the wh's stats).
• Doesn't affect wormhole's life time. - doesn't create any type of constant connection.
• Must be located very closely to wormhole, in both systems.
• Destructible, has no weapons, weak dmg resistances but a lot of HP.
• No need for sovereignty.

Discuss.
