Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Imagine a specialized ship (like a new t2 destroyer) that can pull itself, and anyone else within the same warp bubble (such as a fleet warp).

That, or if that's too overpowered, a module on a ship that can pull itself out of the bubble, mid-warp.

Why?

Because it's interesting, that's why.

As a module, some scouting ships, or haulers, could fit them and stop warp before landing on a bubble that was once out of d-scan range. Still requires that people pay attention, and a low slot being taken up is a nice tradeoff.

There's a lot of wasted time in waiting for people who accidentally warped to the wrong place. Less wasted time = more battles = more kills. That, or mid-warp: "Such at such at this gate," perhaps some people can drop-out and rush to tackle it.

Also, making safe bookmarks would be obsolete in many cases. Thank various deities. It's cumbersome, not new-player friendly, and requires way too many clicks and precision timing to not be humping a celestial.

Other reasons that are obvious.

You know its a good idea.

Wait... what? I'm at work right now, so I can't exactly log in to see what all is on the radial menu...
I've almost always used the right-click context menu and keyboard hotkeys (and have most of what I need burned into muscle memory), so I've barely spared a glance at the radial menu, so please forgive this question, but what does the radial menu do to ease up bookmarking?

I've always wondered what the real issue is with dropping out of warp?

You can create the bookmark. You can warp to other area's mid-space. But you can't stop? Why?

And to be honest, I've always been buggered by why interdictors can't pull ships out mid warp. Setting up a camp mid-system seems a lot more interesting to me.

I've always liked this idea. You could make a ship's maximum warp speed determine how likely (if at all) it would be pulled out of warp by a bubble. Interceptors, at their crazy fast warp speeds, would pass through bubbles without noticing them. Freighters would almost always be pulled out. In fact, if you made it so if one ship in the warp "tunnel" gets pulled out, all other ships in the "tunnel" with it get pulled out. It'd make having an escort that's in the same warp tunnel as you mean something.

Never saw anything wrong with this, either.

Let me warp directly, or even make a bookmark, to a coordinate if I can type the coordinate in.

Well the amount of times I see muppets with disco typhoons at gates, would love something like this :)

Instead of having to fly through all my common systems, set up bookmarks off grid from gates, blah blah....

Cool idea.

Yes actually it does sound awesome, you can still escap them by going around anyways, but you would land where no one would be able to jump in..... sounds funs!
