Player Features and Ideas Discussion

OK heres one for your edification: Defensive Modules

The only mod/ammo that I have seen is the Defender missile. My idea is along the lines of point defense weapons system such as follows:

or this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(countermeasure) ( even going as far as disrupting webbers)

As far as implementing something like this use a system similar to the way rigs are fitted. The number of units fitted could be based upon size/tier/tech level of ship to be fitted or a ratio of total slots of said ship. Could be a useful item for haulers.miners to use.

The mods could come under the area of tank as well.

It could add another aspect to the game by making one think do I carry defense ammo or offensive (missile,shells,hybrid) ammo if one has a small cargo bay.

Or CCP could come out with a ship with the title of Fleet /Area Defense based on these mods. Be a good use for a destroyer.

Just my 2 cents worth.
