Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hope not, We will always need POS, the form they come in will be the deciding factor.

Wormholes depend so much on POS.

But if you have a Deployable Jump Gate Unit, you could travel out of unknown space ? Or your own Deadspace/ Jove Space/ Polaris ?

a nuke that can be deployed and after a small timer detonates destroying every ship on grid. The mod would be hackable so if left unattended, could be stopped. It also would damage friendly ships too.

Though I was more thinking something that would send a pulse 50-100km out every 60-90 seconds and decloak ships within the radius

C5/6 farming is safe enough as it is... do we really need to make it even safer?

Mobile weapons assimilation device

Design to mess with a weapons targeting identifcation computer and make it not shoot you or your fleet (for a short time).

1) Will take control of a single weapon/ew module on a pos or gate gun for 30mins.
2) Taking control gun/module that is firing give the owner a weapons aggression timer
3) The device will fire at random hostiles or aggressed enemy ,players can not control its fire.
4) Must be placed more than 15kms apart
5) Can not take control of sov related items such as cyno beacons/jammers or jump bridges

A slightly larger mobile depot, visually. Something that can really be considered a "base" that isn't quite yet a POS, perhaps with a small ship maintenance array on it.

Turrets/missile launchers/mobile webbers.

I always thought the idea of a mobile forcefield generator would be cool, but I'm not sure how balance-able it would be. It'd need to be fairly easy to destroy, and not big enough to contain a supercapital.

It appears CCP has ideas of their own as well

ss from test server

- Localchat scrambling unit
Works only in nullsec. Puts local in the entire constellation into delayed mode but broadcasts the system where the unit was onlined every 30 seconds in local, only 1 can be onlined per constellation.

- Decloaking pulse generator
Sends out a decloaking pulse every 5 minutes that decloaks everything on grid.

- Scan signature Jammer
Cloaks everything in a 100km radius from directional scanner aswell as scan probes, the Jammer itself however is probeable.

- Wormhole effect inducer
1 for each wormhole type, projects wormhole effects to the whole grid, only one can be active at a time.

- Mobile Grid Cleaner type 'agmar'
Targets and destroyes wrecks in a 150km radius, 8 wrecks per 10 seconds are destroyed. Once the grid is cleaned it will write in local "Agmar sends his regards"

... or other stuff to freighters stuck in a traffic jam.
+1 for Shanty-Town around perimeter gate to jita.

• The Chameleon Module

Comes in four flavors, small, medium, large and T3. The Chameleon Module emits a signal that makes it show up on d-scan as a frig, cruiser/bc, BS or T3 Cruiser. Deployable anywhere in space, these modules are extremely low hp and are intended to distract or attract attention. Once deployed they are immobile.


• Mobile Solar Collectors

Deployed around stars, within 150k, these mobile units pull carebeary stuff from the Star. People that care about such things could figure out a way to make this interesting.


• The Gate Jammer

Short-term deployable gate jammer shuts down a Star Gate for a timer effect, depending on skills or something. The effect doesn't last long, and the device is defenseless, but it works.


• The AOE Bomb

Dangerous to enemies and friendlies alike the AOE Bomb is not deployable on gate or station grids, but essentially, once deployed explodes when any object approaches within a certain radius, say 10-15k or so? These come in flavors of damage and last in space for a specific period of time tbd. Not forever, but not super short either. Eve used to have mines y'know.


• The Dispensary

A Corporation based module that dispenses AMMO that has been pre-loaded, like an old cigarrette machine. Can only be used by the designated corporation.


• The Spider

A deployable tracker that attaches to the ship of the currently aggressed. Once attached, it will show the location of the ship on the Map for a period of time, allowing that ship to be tracked across space. Spiders are deployed one-per-ship and must be attached while the enemy is aggressed.


• The Jammer

An AOE device that produces a short-term jamming effect that screws up local for a short-period of time. During the effect and within the radius of its influence, local space is like WH space.
