Q Ships

I'd love to see some sort of "Q" ship. I envision it could be done in a multiple ways, off the top of my head:

1) A ship outwardly looks like another, sort of like a skin, but is in reality another type of ship altogether. For example, that ship that shows up on scan and overview as a venture sitting in that asteroid belt actually turns out to be a Rifter or a Jaguar etc etc. Or maybe it could be a module for tech 3 ships, replacing one of the other modules.....There would have to be drawbacks, the Q ship could warp within system but using a gate/hole would cause the facade to stop. Initiating combat would do likewise of course.

2) A module - hi slot i would think, that projects the skin of a different type of ship around the ship, it would be cpu/pg intensive and would therefore degrade the performance of the ship, making optimal fitting difficult.

Obviously there would need to be a corresponding way to detect the q ship........

I think it would add an interesting dynamic to the game.

Just my 2 cents, another 2 cents in another post shortly.

It's called take a mining ship and fit a cyno, heavy tank, and a point or two.

The funniest thing in Eve is still, to this day, watching 20 Skiffs with drones set to Aggressive rip apart some idiot who decided to try and gank one.

Also battle nereus is a nice cheap option too, so basically Q-ships already exist without need for any new modules.

Battle Badger is the best Badger.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
