Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Anyone ever suggest a high slot module that would transfer one ship's shields to another?

So say a BS can target a barge and activate the high slot shield transfer module, which will drain all shields from the BS and give a partial percent, say 25%, of the BS's current shield hit points before activation to the barge. While the module is active the shields of the giver (the BS in this example) do not regenerate (active or passively).

Make it so that the partial percent is relatively low so that in fleet warfare the trade-off to protecting an alpha'd ship using this module would result in shield-crippled ships. Also if the module deactivates then none of the transferred shield returns to the BS, but regeneration can happen.

I am always for suicide ganking but I never have a problem looking for more tools that the victims can use without any hard nerfs to everyone else.

Anyway just an idea that popped in my head. I figured I would let it get roasted here before I would think to throw it in the ideas section of the forums.

Maybe something like this:

Perhaps combined with this:

and this

with a barge fitting this:

I think that should do what you want (and more).

You can fit more than enough local tank on any Exhumer (or Barge) to survive until shield reps land, and a Scimitar (heck, a Scythe) ready to rep will be more than enough to dissuade any ganker trying for any semblance of efficiency (because breaking reps or Alphaing you is fairly expensive).

No need for a tool that serves as an AFK replacement for Logi.

So a remote shield transfer cousin of sorts. Aside from merely operating differently, how is this any better or needed than the current logistics modules? Not trying to bash, just not seeing the reason for something like this.

Logistics

Just a thought.

I would have a vigilant sitting on a station with a carrier shield on then Would be impossble to kill and the carrier is armour tanked and not really in danger...

So that idea prob wont work. There is an anti-gank module already. Its called directional scanner and it works just fine. Set it to full range and GTFO when you see 3 or more dessies at any time.

There is an implant for anti-gank.

It is called a brain.

Evolution spent millions of years getting it inside your skull, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use it.

How about CONCORD just post their kills?

CCP has already given you all the modules you need to prevent ganks.

There was an suggestion on something like that. Have CCP publish an NPC based killboard so all kills involving NPC groups showed - pirate factions, empire factions and concord.

It didn't go anywhere but I remember some discussions on it... there are a lot of killmails out that show NPC's on them so it might impact some things about player run KB's and such.

My idea was more ... well... I wonder if there's a freighter pilot with 40+ battleships dead from trying to gank them but having never succeeded...

Not so much who died to what NPC group but who the target was and how many had failed how many times at trying to gank them.

You mean like drones can if you're ATK?

Why else do Exhumers and Barges have silly high scan res? (Unfit Hulk locks a Destroyer in under 2s.)

Hey, a TD, some ECM, or ECM drones will all get you on their killmails, and could even prevent the gank from succeeding.
