Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Minecraft Deployable. Lets you build blocks out of asteroids in the same vein.

Jump structure. Similar to the junk you see in star wars. Three types; small, medium, and large. Small fits frig/dessy, med cruiser/BC and large fits BS.

A larger ship would have to deploy it for a smaller ship typically or be deployed from a POS array. This would be used by smaller corps to jump ships without titan bridges or cyno hot dropping. Each one requires a certain amount of fuel to jump and only can hold enough fuel for a single jump requiring it to be refilled after each jump. Their jump distance would have to be balanced out (to be honest Im a WH resident and don't know much about jumps)

The structure itself would be relatively weak having similar EHP to their designated ship class.

Could have a spool up and or down timer for use to balance as well.

How about a mobile space structure that allows you to circumvent the fee from using someone else's planetary customs offices?
It would have to be placed within 100km of the customs office and the owner of the office gets a report that smuggling has taken place.
If you do it only once, chances of getting caught are very small, but if you have installations on a planet's surface, you're not going to do it only once, and the owner will wise up to what you're doing.

Mini-Acceleration Gate. Works like the NPC acceleration gates. Such a method of transportation doesn't get you pulled into bubbles (unless you actually land in the bubble.) Why should NPCs have all the fun?

Dead Space Deployable. Creates a pocket that cannot be warped directly to. Instead, you land land at the perimeter of this anti-warp bubble. Ex: you scan down a target and then warp to it with your short range blaster fit. However, because of the Dead Warp Space deployable, you actually land 100km away...

Emergency Warp Jump Deployable a one shot deployable that MJDs you 1 to 1,000 km away in a random direction.

Warp Tracer Deployable. When a ship goes to warp within X km of the Warp Tracer, the Warp Tracer follows the ship into warp (like a fighter.) The owner then has the option to warp to the Tracer (which could be still be in warp, but will hopefully be at the target's destination.)

Automated Courier Deployable. This deployable will (slowly) deliver a small amount of cargo to a destination, traveling from gate to gate.

Message Delivery Deployable. This deployable will try to track down a person, jumping from system to system, scanning local for a person. The deployable then reports their current location so you can deliver a message in person. The deployable can search for player names via regexes and has a limited operational time.

Defender Deployable. Simply has an X% chance of launching a defender when a missile volley is launched at it. Goes into reinforced mode quickly to make it indestructible. Only purpose is to test Defender missiles which act really screwy now that we have insanely fast cruise missiles.

Mobile GM Inhibitor - prevents GM from entering local after blowing up his main/alt in a Viator cuz 100 drones on gate decloaked him! No notifications, nothing - just removed all our drones that were inactive and active... 5 minutes after that death.

Thus, it is clear we need this sort of Mobile structure to prevent abuse.

True story

Chum Deployable. Attracts NPC pirates. No restriction on how close it can be to another deployable.

Mining Permit Clerk deployable. If you're not on the list, then you get a private chat message inviting you to buy a permit. If a permit isn't acquired in X time, the deployable appears on system wide overview until you leave the belt.
