Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like to see anchorable Cargo Containers that have a Cargo capacity equal to or greater than Jet Cans.

All the Cargo Container sizes seem way to small to me.

Not sure if this was suggested already.

We need a rig for shield repair similar to armor's Remote Repair Augmentor which would reduce capacitor amount of shield transfer.

Perhaps intra-system jump mods? So instead of warping somewhere, you get a module that empties your cap completely and allows ships to jump, like titan bridges etc. but within the system?

Only fittable on Black Ops Battleships, and needs a Cov Ops Cyno module to be used on the other end. So would be a stealthy way of bringing in a sub-cap fleet, in-system, right on top of your enemies.

Scripts need to go away … still have them in game, but have they as a component in the manufacturing process so people don’t have to bother with them one they build the module.


A great way to get miners out of the belts. +1

Another great idea that someone else mentioned a while ago (sorry I can remember their name to give the credit) was chaff launchers. An untargeted missile that creates AOE cloud of chaff that interferes with sensors … a ship within the AOE would have its signature reduced making it harder to lock, but would also suffer from the same penalty when locking a ship outside the AOE.

It would probably be best used for a fleet trying to disengage from another fleet, but a ship could also use it at a safe spot if it’s trying not to be scanned down. Racial chaff could be used as well, Ionized gas vs radar, magnetically charged particles vs magnetometric, reflective aerosols vs ladar, etc, etc.

Chaff would have to be balanced so that it doesn’t result in un scannable ships.

Scriptable smart bombs are a great idea. They are –smart- bombs, after all.

Medium sentry drones

@ Saelyth post #310 - Coolant tanks/radiators/heat sinks are a great idea.

T2 tractor that allows a ship to tow another inactive ship or wreak in space.

Just something i feel is missing:

* Passive Invulnerability field, and more choises in that department to get it up to par with armor.

*Stackable cans for blueprints. because i like a system in my mess.

dont know if these are suggested before.. 79 pages was a bit to harsh to even try reading trough.

I believe EVE should incorporate more real-life naval items, since EVE is a space-age naval RPG. Here is a list of things I have in mind:
-Mines - Either anchorable (really large) or launched from modules (small/medium/large) all with area of effect depending on their sizes. A key element to mines is that they should NOT appear on the overview, or be at all noticeable within space UNLESS scanned down (using probes or whichever other methods). This adds to the realism of the mines.

-Force-Eject Arrays or Modules - I believe this should be incorporated into the game to allow the capture of another capsuleer's ship. It should take powerful force from these modules to successfully force-eject a pilot from his ship. I'm not certain as to what I should suggest the strength need be to eject a pilot, but I was thinking along the lines of equal to double a ships faction scan strength (Gravimetric/Ladar/Radar/Magnetometric). Also, to keep it fair, the strength of each Force-Eject module should be considerably weak, requiring multiple modules or ships fitted with said modules to force-eject a single pilot from his/her vessel. If those at CCP decide to incorporate this into EVE, I would love to converse with you all via email, in-game etc to discuss the specs if yall decide to allow me.

- Custom Ship Arrays - These should be considerably similar to regular ship construction structures that are anchored in space to build ships other than in an npc station, with the exception that it is used to modify ships and add in "things" that make the ship unique to whoever built/modified it. Such as the Worm frigate that has been modified by npc pirates, such should be achievable by those who are players as well. This will add a feeling of "freedom" or "uniqueness" since capsuleers will be able to rebuild ships according to what they like and love, rather than relying on ships that are never-changing and already there. A good idea to keep a limit on these modified ships is to require salvaged materials to add in to create desired modifications.

- Lock-Breaker Modules - I know these already exist in EVE, but I would like to see them downgraded to be usable on ships other than black ops or marauders, such as the manticore for example. I don't know whose support I have on this idea, but it's just a suggestion.

- Player Owned Station Stealth-Field Generators - These should be anchorable structures that hide the station from the overview and the map when other players/corps/alliances are seeking them out. The field should have a certain area of effect, keeping everything within the "stealth bubble" completely invisible to long-range targeting. I also suggest that the Stealth-Field not be such a God-Like protector from discovery in that it only prevents discovery from distant places that are out of range of sight of the station, meaning that if you can see the station, you can approach it. The stealth-field should ONLY protect from scanning down a station accurately or at all, and not be a giant cloak generator.

- Module Slotting - This has bothered me for awhile since I run out of slots rather rapidly on a ship, but I would love to see this idea incorporated. The idea is that any module requiring a slot lower than an available slot be able to be placed in that higher slot. For example: If I run out of low slots on my ship, but I still want to put on more armor repairers, I should be able to put them in the medium or high slots I have available without changing the attributes of the module. I would love to see this in EvE and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this concern.

This is all that I have so far. From those at CCP and commoners of EvE I would love to hear support/criticism/feedback on these suggestions. I hope to see these in EvE someday! :)

I reckon we need more drones that do what some ship modules can do.

such as:
* Tractor Beam Drones (or perhaps the physically grab a wreck or can and pull it towards you)
* Missile Drones
* Afterburner/Microwarpdrive Drones (to give a speed boost to your ship using a tractor beam or attaching themselves to the hull)
* Sheild extender/hardener Drones
* Looting Drones ( that loot wrecks and containers when they're too far away)
* Scanner Drones (that can scan cargo, wrecks and ships)
* Cloaking drones (that cloak themselves and the ship)

Just a few Ideas

I'm not sure if this has been suggested, but there are 75 pages of suggestions and quite frankly i'm not gonna go through them all, but an idea i've just had is this:

Local Cloaking.

When you enter W-Space, local chat states that it is unable to connect to the local subspace beacon or whatever - I propose a script for a cloaking device that allows you to cloak your transmissions to the local subspace beacon in whichever system you are currently in or entering at the expense of being visible to the naked eye. Only one cloaking device will installed on any given ship giving you the ability to choose to be scripted towards invisibility to the naked eye, but not to the local beacon, or invisibility to the beacon but not to the naked eye.

The penalties to this script will be the same as to any regular cloaking device - reduced scan res, the use of a module slot and no active modules whilst 'cloaked'. I leave it up to others to decide whether, like regular cloaking devices, you should be able to warp or not with it active unless using a cov-ops ship.

It seems feasible to me that you should be able to jam your transmissions to local subspace beacons - in a realistic sense of course - and i'm sure many out there will cry out in terror that it is 'OP' but it's no more OP than jumping into any wormhole, except that unlike in the wormhole, you cannot be physically cloaked at the same time. Perhaps for added peace of mind, the module could be limited to Null sec as in the warp disruption fields?

Two Ideas

The first is a reiteration that I've seen in this thread:

Mobile Cyno Jammers -- Deploy one and jam cyno's for specific AOE

The second I haven't seen yet:

AOE Pulse Decloaker -- Fit's in a high-slow and works similar to smartbombs but sends out a pulse that will disrupt all cloaking systems within a specific AOE, with a skillbook to expand the range of your pulse.

I spend a lot of time cloaked but I'd still like to see it. Give people a 30-40k range, ultimately it'd only be useful for prototypes or people sitting and watching you very close.
