basically a weapon that rearranges the targets button locations within the 3x 8 grid

this would make it very confusing for F1 monkeys when suddenly their F1 controls their damage control instead of their guns, or shield hardners.

Takes a BS hull to fit, High pg / capacitor usage

range affects the effectiveness of the rearrangement,
so at max range, will have a change of rearranging 1 or 2 items
optimal range could rearrange 8 items

cycle of 180 seconds

Definitely a troll mod and nothing more or less, but I like the sound of it. Some "***** and giggles" mechanics have a nice ring to them. This one's pretty good as well. +1

Also, and not to hijack, but...
Maybe jammers should be redone to rearrange you target queue list and/or force you to switch target selected to a different target or have a chance to knock out each separate queue individually rather than breaking all locks or none. Even better, cause offensive/defensive mods to switch targets randomly, imagine the confusion of logi's mistakenly repping the enemy while people begin shooting friendlies more than they do now.

oh my god, this is literally one of the best ideas ever. I can just imagine the chaos. of course, en masse this would probably be such a broken module and would have to be limited to certain ships. could you imagine if any old ship could just USE this?

Just that hint of cynicism the world needs now and then.

Well, it's nuts, I know. But it'd be funny as hell, wouldn't it?

oh, I would be totally behind this, including OP's idea, so long as it was limited to, say, electronics attack ships and/or recon ships.

Ooooooo... oooooooo... let's make it an AoE thing while we are at it!! A bomb that a Stealth Bomber can launch maybe!!

This would kill two birds with one stone!!!
- this would put a serious dent in massive logi chains
- it would make ISboxing no longer viable as a tactic as a player would have to go through each client to put everything back in place (actually... this not a half bad thing!)



But yeah... this would be too broken of a mod to introduce into EVE. Some chaos is good... spammable chaos isn't.

How did you Veterans start?

QFT. Changing someone else's stats is one thing; that's what EWAR is for. ******* with someone else's UI is something entirely different. Mods that literally only exist to troll are bad.
