Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I want cap booster charges to recharge themselves over time. Maybe give the cap booster module a way to function in reverse, putting capacitor energy back into empty charges?

I also want The Device in my CQ. It's got a ~thing~ to do.

Perhaps decoys have been mentioned already, but I think they would be a good concept for a new drone to add to the Electronic Warfare family of Drones. Drones move and maneuver, so they behave like ships. Once launched, the mothership is split into two or more depending on the number of drones (Up to 5) copies, with one of them actually being the original mothership.

If there's preexisting target lock/missiles inbound, they have 50% chance of being switched to the decoys, this chance increase by every decoy drone deployed past the first one. If there are two decoys deployed at same time, it is 66% chance that the locks/incoming attacks on mothership will switch to one of them. If there are three decoys deployed at same time, it is 75% and so on.

The further the attacker is away and/or the weaker his sensor strength is, the harder time he has distinguishing between the decoys and the real mothership. A ship at 'collision' range or with more powerful sensor will be able to see the decoy drones for what they are; drones and not actual mirror copies of the mothersihp.

Like the ECM Jammers though it would make them more complex, the decoy drones could have racial variations that make them stronger against each race and a base that is weak like the multi spectrum ecm jammer but can cover all four type.

Or, well, to make it easy on graphic, they just simply pulses causing target locks on the mothership back to themselves on the same chance I listed above instead of being a mirror copy of the mothership. This way the attacker need to eliminate the decoys or get closer/have better sensor strength to burn through their 'siren' calls. Of course, until their true nature is revealed, they actually show up as exact copies of the mothership on the Overview. If the overview is set to ignore or favor drones only and the decoy drones have been seen through by the attacker, his overview is clear of all the decoy drones except the mothership or they show up among other drones on his overview.

Vengeance : once activated, this modules desactivate all online module and will self-destruct the ship (20 sec timer) dealing an AOE of 7000damage (em for amarr, kinetic for caldari...). Can only be activated if pointed (warp disruptor/scrambler).

Rigs : -1 low slot, + 1 med slot / +1 slot slot, -1 med slot

Rick rock'd : Once activated, will play "never give you up, never let you down" aka rick rock'd if someone falls for your scam or your bait ship.

over drive injectors already do that

Overdrives give a penalty to cargo capacity, not mass(agility). This penalty is irrelevant to combat and manoeuvering so the overdrive itself cannot be very potent, whereas a module with a relevant penalty can be much more potent without becoming overpowered, promoting a wider varety of tactics

While charging booster charges, the same amount of GJ as the charge carries is taken from the ship's capacitor every cycle. Ships recharge cap booster charges depending on the strength of their capacitor. Could be a mini-profession in recharging booster charges.

Not a new module, but new module behavior - make heat state persistent when jumping

ie, i I jump a gate with all my mods preheated, they stay that way when I spawn in the next system

First idea is interesting. But the second idea allows the aggressor to substantially weaken the part of a ship's tank which is most vulnerable to the type of damage that they intend to inflict. No one can know the type of damage to expect in pvp, and so ship's are omni-tanked, but one can know what type of damage that they will inflict, especially if they are all minmatar pilots aiming at the weakest resist of their enemies ships even further weakened by this module. Big ouch. Anyone want to advocate a base shield and armor hitpoint neutralizing module next?

Death Blossom

Implant Scanner Module:
-Scans the implants of a pod, so one can ransom pods accurately
-Acts as contraband in highsec, sort of like drugs
-Possible sec hits for using the scanner (to keep it a low sec affair)

Cynosural Field Distruptor/Jammer
-Makes the targeted ship unable to open up a cyno

The ability to use logistic drones on your self.

Thermal Paste
-Consumable 1 hour duration
-Decreases heat damage taken by 15/30/45% depending on what kind ( like drugs, normal/improved/strong )

Targeted Microwaves / Laser beam ( whatever you want to call it )
- Causes 5/10/15/20/25% ( Skill level possibly ) damage to random module every cycle ( ship size would matter )
- Script to target Low/Mid/High slot

Heat Damage reduction rig
- useless, trimarks/extenders here i come ( just throwing it on the table)
