Oh, and some new module that can balance it out but not put us back to square one. Like a new Warp bubble with terrible range but that's able to trow people out of warp? Put it at a planet between gates and watch pinatas appear...

Ok, smart peoples turn.

You mean unlike an anchorable bubble/ (heavy) interdictor bubble? A special highsec bubble?


I was under the impression that the Interdiction spheres couldn't drag you out of warp in mid warp, i may be wrong in this since i haven't tried it myself. Only seen them being used to drag people coming out of warp away from the gate.

And being able to anchor anything "aggressive" in high will probably never happen, maybe a warp-canceling-field-generator for the interdictors, you'll have to be very careful tho since catching none-reds/war targets probably would get you a GTC and Concord are not going to disappear from high.

Something very special that only catches wartargets would be interesting, but seems rather silly, somehow..

I like the beacon idea ( i can see it being referred to as the bacon button Twisted )

but im not sure if eves current mechanics allow for something like this to be practical. Even when some one yells for help in corp chat , and there is a few buds a couple hops away, they are usually to late save the (victim) most the time. They get to see the fireworks and maybe just maybe if they are lucky scram the perp and pop him .

its just that things happen to fast in eve for the distress beacon to work as intended . it would become a bacon button .

but that may not be a bad thing.


Bacon

OP's idea is not actually that bad, most scifi set in space contains distress beacons and IRL planes and boats generally have some sort of distress beacon fitted.

It would certainly be an interesting mechanic as both white knight and nefarious types both flock to a beacon like sharks to a lump of bleeding meat.


This is awesome. Can we please get an admin to change the Title of my thread to "The Bacon Button"? Please?

I like this idea. Obviously people would use it when they're not actually in danger to lure targets to them, but the "distress signal which is actually a trap" is probably more common than a genuine distress signal, if we're using Star Trek as the "real world" example.

I would also like a Tribble launcher and some forehead ridges.

I'm pretty sure it's been used a few times in David Drake Novels as well. I normally put things in terms of StarTrek/StarWars because most folk don't read the gritty sci-fi like Hammer's Slammers, the RCN series, or the Honorverse.

and +1 to Tribble launchers, it can be a time delay weapon that drains capacitor as they spread through the power conduits.
