Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I don't understand why you think you deserve a second and even easier shot at someone after you failed to lock down a target on the first attempt? If they warped away, that's your fault. You didn't lock them down or they were prepared for the scenario of your attack more so then you were prepared to catch them. They thus deserve to escape because they thought ahead further than you did.

If you want the utility of a probe launcher, fit a probe launcher. There are plenty of ships with utility high slots. If you're unwilling to compromise on your fit to include a launcher, that's your fault. Fitting is about compromising and finding the best balance of what you want to do vs the effectiveness of doing it. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Even from a lore perspective this idea falls apart. The whole reason we have probe launchers is because space is vast and its thus very hard to isolate the signal of an individual ship or structure. From a lore perspective, "tagging" a ship would at best simply make it easier to probe down. Though how such a tag would even adhere to a ship designed to repel high velocity projectile rounds? Nevermind attach to it undetected. It would need to transmit one hell of a powerful signal to justify what you propose. Which would easily be detected by the tagged ship.

So no, bad idea. Either play better the first time around and lock your target down or make a compromise on your fit. If you're so diehard for a 1 on 1 but with extra utility, fly a Recon.

Highjacking this topic: Why does this saying exist? It makes no practical sense to me. It is cake that you own. What other function does cake serve beside being delicious inside my tummy?
Seriously, why is that saying so prevalent? Cake is meant to be eaten.

Back on topic, I think the module could have a limited application for cloaker tagging. But as some already pointed out warp scramble does the same. So why add another module for second chance.
