Player Features and Ideas Discussion

First off, I'd like to say that this post was and idea was inspired by this item I found in the database, with the description:

"The Caldari Navy have purportedly worked on this project for the past decade, but lack of funding has kept this new type of capital ship from reaching the pre-production stage. These designs are deemed highly classified and have been kept under wraps in this remote station."

So I though for a while and came up with a base for a new ship type, very different from what we currently use, that could actually have a lot of usefulness and uniqueness if there was a good way to implement it.

Now, at first I thought of making a new interdiction-type ship, but then I had a better idea.

There would be one for each race (obviously), and I was debating making them Supercapitals in order to balance the idea a little.

Each ship would be able to use a new "Field" module (ONE PER SHIP), which would work like this:

"(Signature/Stasis/Dampening/Drain) Field Module"

All incarnations affect all ships (including ships normally immune to electronic warfare)

Unscripted:

20,000m base range (AOE)

And depending on the module, here are the effects:

Drain Field (Amarr):
-75% to capacitor recharge rate of ships in range (stronger to balance the less immediate effect)

Dampening Field (Gallente):
-50% to scan resolution and targeting range of ships in range

Signature Field (Caldari)
50% addition to signature radius of ships in range

Stasis Field (Minmatar):
-50% to max velocity of ships in range

---

With "Focus Script"

75,000m base range (Single Target)

Drain Field (Amarr):
-100% to capacitor recharge rate of target ship (nullifies recharge)

Dampening Field (Gallente):
-90% to scan resolution and targeting range of target ship

Signature Field (Caldari)
100% addition to signature radius of target ship

Stasis Field (Minmatar):
-90% to max velocity of target ship

---

Now for the ships themselves and what they'll do:

Racial Dreadnought Skill Bonus:
5% bonus to range of (Type) Field Modules per level
5% bonus to (shield/armor) resistances per level (Minmatar/Gallente)
or
7.5% bonus to (tracking of Capital Energy Turrets/explosion radius and velocity of Citadel Missiles) per level (Amarr/Caldari)
Can fit (Type) Field Module

Slots:
High:4 or 5 turret slots and one additional slot for field module for highs- Either 5 or 6 high slots total
Medium/Low: Balance tankability/power, so probably something like:

Amarr: 6H,6M,7L; 5 turrets, 0 launchers
Caldari: 6H,7M,6L; 0 turrets, 5 launchers
Gallente: 5H,6M,8L; 4 turrets, 0 launchers
Minmatar: 5H,8M,6L; 4 turrets, 0 launchers

Skill Requirements:

Racial Dreadnought III (like carrier III for supercarriers)
Maybe the skills needed for the Field Modules (haven't though of those yet)

I'll update this later with more ideas and changes- stay tuned to see what happens, and leave feedback!

Thanks!

Yes, pls do this.

I also recommend that we input an AOE form of salvaging, as well as an AOE form of reps, so I can play eve like I play my paladin in WoW.

I mean, were already adding microjump drive structures so maybe we should add aoe doomsday structures that frigs can use and aoe selfdestruct buttons too

Mobile AOE Smartbomb Structures pls that can be anchored up to 2500m from gates.

with AoE-webs+paints, what could possibly go wrong...
