Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo more skill books................ them suck

For the OP................ nice work but, NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO more dull skillbooks

It's why I get a chuckle out of people who say "don't talk in local" in a wormhole. Anyone who wants to know you are in a wormhole does, anyone who can track you down, can anyway and if they can't, yapping in local makes no difference. If nothing else, Wormholes simply proved the combat ability of EVE goes beyond a list in local. CCP could remove local tommorow, in a month we would be right back to where we are today.

Overview is overview and everthing else is 0.1 to 30 seconds away from Overview.

I find it ridiculous that the very same people who complain about skillbooks insist that SP remain an integral part of the game.

Pick one dumbasses.

It works in w-space. Actually it's one of the things that makes w-space so fun.

I prefer the term boolean instead of binary.

But apart from that, nice posts.

Love the ideas presented here. I imagine some of them (Shield mods that give varied sensor returns) are a bit too grandiose to ever hope to get implemented, but its still a great idea. I would dearly love for CCP to take a good hard look at these ideas, its something this game is dearly lacking (Information control and Information gathering is waaaay too simplified for a game that takes place in space).

why not a combination of a sensor network and specialized probes to detect cloakers

the OP mentioned submarines and detection of submarines with sonar buyos why not put that into eve
here is a idea
these probes will never uncloak the target but with skil and patience they will give the the aprox loaction of the cloak ship
a skillfull user and with plenty of time will be able to scandown the location within 10 to 20 k radius , while a quick search by a average skilled user will give youa loacation of about 100 k radius

Of course if the pilot of the cloaked ship is at the control he will notice the probes and move position forcing the searcher to start again
IF the pilot of the cloaked ship is off to work or school well then he will find himself in a new clone when he comes home

We all know that one of the main reasons mining in nullsec is almost non exsitant is the use of dotlanmaps and afkcloakers
anybody trying to raise the industrial index of a system will soon find afk cloakers a semi permanent feature in their system, killing off all mining attempts and little or no chanhe of ever catching them

while cloaking is and always will be a viable tactic to disrupt your enemies the idea that you can wake up log in with your afk cloaker and then go to work or school all day is silly and in a way a sort of griefing and there is at the moment little you can do about it

I cloak to fap.

Supported. (oh wait, not F&I...oh well.)

If this was implimented, you can still keep the none Cov-Ops cloaks.

Prototype/Improved Cloaking Device: High Slot, Active Modual. Reduces Signiture Radius of the ship while active, while penalizing the ships velocity and locking time.
(Does not actually cloak the ship, it remains on overview, still probable/can be D-scanned. It just makes it harder for enemy ship sensors to detect it unlike a Covert-Ops cloak which renders those ships -actually- invisible to scans.)

I don't think that would take a dev too long to change. (Assuming the rest of the scanning changes are implimented.)

Some excellent and well thought out ideas, +1
