Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A google spreadsheet would make it much easier for people to see if there ideas have been suggested, especially if it was organized by type of idea. Then we wouldn't see the same ideas reposted for the nth billionth time. Share it with the public and let people know where CCP stands with each idea. Maybe give each a rating and a development stage indicator. Let's get on it already, CCP.

Wouldn't that be an AAR?

Auxilary Armor Repairer as opposed to an ASB for armor.

CIWS script for pulse/blasters/autocannons.

Until you load the script the turrets work exactly a before.

As soon as you load the script they work as a a close-in weapon system for defending against anti-ship missiles. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phalanx_CIWS)

They should work similar to defender missiles but useful for gun boats. Also, since they are still turrets, you solve the defender missiles main problem which is taxing the server with even moar missiles to keep track off.

Once activated, the turret will fire at incoming missiles decreasing/negating their damage.
While working as a CIWS the turret can not target locked targets.
Unloading the script will revert the turret to its normal operating mode.
While the turret works in CIWS mode they consume twice the amount of ammo per cycle.

Notes:
The script could also be a special kind of ammo instead of an actual script.
They should actually work better than defender missiles which are currently not in use because of their dismal performance.

christ do you know how expensive it would be using nanite paste and besides the ASB has already nerfed neuts we don't need the same thing again i still don't understand why projectiles and missiles don't use some cap even the tiniest amount so they could be neuted out.

Have no idea if anything like this has been suggested, but how bout...

Drone Bay Maintenance Array (mid slot?)

When activated it works in a similar fashion to armor and hull repairers, except that it repairs the armor and hull of your damaged drones currently in your drone bay. The single module repairs both armor and hull. Only one module per ship can be fit. The module repairs one drone at a time, first hull than armour, and gradually cycles through your drone groups from top to bottom until all drones are repaired. It could potentially be left active during combat (if you can spare the cap) so that it automatically begins repairing damaged drones as they return to the drone bay. It would use less cap then either an armor repairer (of course repairs less in each cycle) or a remote armor repairer.

The idea here is that it adds to the longevity of your drones as you cycle through returning and launching. Also adds another element to drone management. There would only be module sizes for medium and large ships (?)

Some one mentioned being able to repair drones in the drone bay using nanite repair paste

failed new adaptive armour mod comes to mind

1mn/10mn/100mn pulse drive unit

Applies a very large impulse to the ship in the direction in which it is aligned for 1 second, which ignores the ship's max speed or warp strength (as if it had been bumped). How much speed is added depends on the mass of the ship, and it cannot be online simultaneously with a microwarpdrive or afterburner. Before each use the module requires 20 seconds to charge up, this timer is started immediately after decloaking or undocking (so it cannot be used to speed up aligning from a gate). The amount of impulse generated should be perhaps enough to almost reach MWD speed from a standstill, but not enough to average faster than an afterburner with continuous use.

How might this module be used?
>to urgently sprint towards an enemy as they land or uncloak
>to aid in bumping- as you're about to hit the ship you wish to bump you switch your mwd off and fire the pulse drive for extra speed. A difficult but very potent trick
>fitted to kiting ships to permit a last ditch escape from hard tackle
>fitted to brawling ships to "slingshot" across the range gap more effectively
>a chance to "break through" dual webs or serpentis webs with skilled piloting
>used by slower, tougher ships to reapproach a camped gate (while skilled gatecampers will use the same module to bump them away first)

Target painter yes this is not a new module, i saw this in the 2012 jun 26 patch, well why don't put this tp back to the game? maybe the rapier or the tp ships can use the bonus what they got :)

Remote E-war dampener. Reduces optimal/strength of all ewar modules on target ship.

Example - Some kitey bastard has you pointed at 21km... Throw the e-war dampener on him and get him down to a range where your Gallente hull can omgwtfpwn him.
