Was thinking of a neat new item, I think it would be cool to have a "Motion Sensor" that you deploy like a Mobile Warp Dist. Its a skill based item, and basically you can set 1-5 up, and if a ship passes withing X range you get a notification.

That would be detrimental to CCP's plan to get everyone to buy extra accounts.....Cool

What would be the transmission range of the notification? Same grid? System-wide? [arbitrary number] km?

Would it tell you what the ship was (Drake, Rifter, Capsule)?

Would you be able to receive the notifications while docked in station?

If you answered yes to both of these, you have a balance issue. If you answered yes to only one, you might be okay.

Sounds suspiciously like a Dscan...

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.

My thoughts would be it only alerts the sensor was set off. Does not tell the type of ship. Range would be unlimited, but again its only saying SOMETHING passed by. There are many uses for this I think.

One REALLY boring thing is sitting on a gate, wormhole, etc just to see if ships are passing by. Again, lots of balance issues to work into this, but overall the concept of a motion sensor should be basic enough and easy enough to implement.

Well, if CCP actually implemented intel gathering tools like this ingame, they could nix the whole local intel thing.

Sanity is fun leaving the body.

Range is unlimited?

So it's just Local, but doesn't tell you who's here.

Let me guess, you want an audio alert?

This sounds awesome!! You should really post it in Features and Ideas. Insanely enough that is where a thread with this kind of content is designed to go. Roll

Remove cloaked ships from local, and then create a scanner module designed to detect various thermal, and engine exhaust emissions.

That's how they found the top secret stealthed CONCORD ship in Templar One.

So is the thread AFK cloaking, about AFK cloaking, or... an AFK cloaking thread about AFK cloaking? Shocked
