Fix ECM bursts. Instead of a 'pulse' to throw off jamming, turn them into a bubble of sensor jamming, sort of like non-targeted ecm within a close range. It would provide a double bonus of, firstly, making a useful mod that blacks out close-range tacklers, and for ships that will be using the coming microjump drives, it provides a decent defence for battleships against tacklers that more than likely will be able to shut down the microjump drives with scram. Secondly, it would turn the scorpion into a AWESOME battleship for fleet situations, since it would be able to somewhat negate the problem of being primaried every single time one is fielded in a combat situation.

A module that moves a drone from cargy bay to drone bay. Basically you "load" the module with "ammo", i.e. 1 or more drones (a certain volume of drone, probably 5 m3 for a small module, 10 for a medium, 25 for a large) that is taken from the cargo bay. Then when you "shoot" the module, the drone or drones are moved into the drone bay, provided there is room.

Reload time and cycle time needs to be long (several minutes each), so that it becomes a slow process to move drones from cargo to drone bay. The point is to make it possible, not to make it super fast and convenient, to re-stock the drone bay while flying solo far from stations or POSses. Missile boats and gün boats don't have this problem as they can always reload from cargo bay, but drone boats are highly dependent on places where they can dock to re-fit.

Basically it's a standings set warp beacon much how fleet warping works but it's a fire and forget type, it lasts 15-120 min I don't know about duration. Seems like something that has potential.

Maybe something that you put in an expanded probe launcher?

1) Re: anti-missile e-war
This surely should not be tracking disruptors. Give new script(s) to sensor dampeners instead (because Gallente are supposed to be anti-Caldari). This can also be a way of buffing sensor dampeners without actually meddling with values related to their current function.

2) Tech2 scripts loadable only into tech 2 ewar modules. I don't know whether meta4 in inferno loot tables were adjusted or not, but currently meta4 ewar modules are better than tech2 in following ways:

• cheaper
• use less cpu
• use less cap energy
• have lesser skill requirements

That is to say there is no incentive to use t2 ewar at all.

Edit:
3) Give MJD overload that significantly shortens spool up time (duration), but adjust heat damage values so that it breaks after one or two uses.

Micro warp fracture.
Frigate only. As cutting warp to anything bigger would be catastrophic.
The module dumps capacitor and drops the ship out of warp instantly. The energy wave creates a small bubble for a minute that captures anyone following.
Can only be activated at full AU warp so you cant drop "poor mans" bubbles at landing locations.

Module/Rig that allows for the transfer of goods from orca to freighter.

Tech 2 Ewar Drones
Tech 2 Combat Utility Drones
Faction Ewar/CU Drones (eg 'Imperial Avatar' EV350 -- Amarrian faction Small E-Neut Drone)


More variation in Faction 'Drone Upgrades'
Faction Tracking Link Upgrade
Faction Navigation Computer Upgrade
Faction Link Augmentor
Faction Damage Amplifier
Either enhanced effect or reduced fitting cost compared to base T1/2 module,
or 2 factions could recieve an upgrade 1 offering lower fitting cost, the 2nd offering enhanced effect.

I'd like to see all F.o.F. missiles naturally be more likely to seek out painted targets. It could be a useful tactic in which a fleet of missile ships expecting heavy ECM brings target-painting EWAR ships with heavy ECCM to help track the targets (and hit them harder at the same time). Of course, it could backfire if the enemy fleet has a lot of target painters and they manage to lock down the friendly TP ships, but as an additional precaution, perhaps the F.o.F. fleet equipped a high resistance to their own damage type.

Another improvement I'd like to see is Defender Missiles. I think the biggest problem with them is that they take up a high slot. Nobody wants to clip out their own damage for a chance to shoot down one incoming missile at a time--it's just not economical. If it were a mid slot item, however, then it would have a higher value. It could still cost a launcher hardpoint, giving some advantage to ships that have excess launcher hardpoints. It might also be able to shoot down missiles that aren't coming at the one who fired it, or perhaps there could be a F.o.F. Defender variant which would be able to hit any missile, and could be used by launcher destroyers/cruisers as a means of defending fleet members from incoming missiles. This is sort of like the "Aegis" idea someone had, but more practical because such an off-the-wall tactic remains off-the-wall and requires additional planning to make it work. And that encourages creativity.

tl;dr
F.o.F. missiles are more likely to hit target-painted targets
Defender missile launcher new mid-slot item
F.o.F. Defender missile (self-explanatory)


I'd rather see a heat dissipation module that used liquid ozone to operate. That way it could completely nullify heat damage, but only until your cargo empties. It should also be a high-slot module both because it's really powerful, and because a lot of ships are aching for more options to use up their utility highs.

i have a idea for a few skills mostly PI related.

i would like to see skills that:

1. Reduce "Expedited Transfer" timer by x% per skill lv for Spaceport and Storage Facilities

2. Increase storage capacity of "Spaceport" and "Storage Facilities"

3. Reduce Production timers of "Processor Facilities"

4. Reduce resorce extraction timer of extraction heads for Extractors


i pesonaly thinkl that skills in these areas will be a big benifite to PI

I'd like to see webs affect a ship based on its mass vs sig radius, ie. denser ships are slowed less. And then a special propulsion module that increases your mass a whole lot and adds enough thrust to make you go a bit faster but mostly for pushing through webs.
