Player Features and Ideas Discussion

These are variations of and maybe some new mobile structures. There are two overall variations, one using cloaks and the other using evasion from scanners.


Covert Asteroid Structures:

Pros:
Cannot be scanned with directional scan or combat scan probes.

Cons:
Still appears on overview or is targetable when your on grid with it(Like a wormhole).
Can only be deployed on asteroids large enough to sustain it.
Can be destroyed by mining the asteroid its deployed on.
Cost is higher.

Types of structures:
Defensive(0.4 and below), Offensive(0.4 and below), Storage, Fitting, Intel,

Covert Mobile Structures:

Pros:
Can cloak once deployed.

Cons:
Can be uncloaked if a ship comes within 2000m.
Has less HP.
Requires fuel to stay cloaked.
Cost is higher.

Types:
Intelligence, Storage, Fitting

One great example is a structure which gathers detailed intelligence which does exist currently in a more unrefined state.
I think it will help reduce the need for out of game espionage which is the most used tactic in EVE. Your still in game by using two different accounts by conducting espionage. But overall, the tactic uses no actual in game resources and makes it extremely unfair to those who would like to explore other 'sandbox' items/ideas.


Covert Intelligence Beacon:

Gathers detailed information within 300km including the date, time, ship type, and character name of each individual encounter.
The definition of encounter, each time a ship comes within 300km a report is generated even if its been spotted before. This information is provided to you in a list format which will recycle every 500-1000+ encounters depending on the version.

Base cost: 90mil~

Scan range: 300km

Fuel consumption: ????

Access: Visible on your structures UI. You can activate/deactivate the cloak and open intelligence information from there.

Restrictions:
Intelligence information can only be accessed while your within 300km. Can be deployed for self or corporation.
