I fear too many here have been posting on the 'bad ideas' thread too long and still believe they're there.

Honestly, the best ideas in this thread are:

1) Point-defense structure
I'm picturing the Raven's point-defense gadget from Starcraft 2, this would be a nice buff to using Maruaders (and battleships in general) for pvp.

2) Anchorable cynogen
We have the jammer structure, so why not a generator? Works for all alliance members, but can't be online for more than an hour at a time.

3) Fleet Command structures
A nice approach to bringing in on-grid bonuses... have a structure to do it. Linking it to command ships could be a challenge, however.

4) Deadspace generator
A nice counter to the new warp speed buffs, if it can be balanced right

5) Mobile disco ball

First, a bigger mobile depot. It should be accessible beyond one person, with settings to allow, fleet, corp, alliance, and access by standings.

A structure to store ships. Also if a ship storage structure is launched near a depot, the two should plug together. The beginning of a modular space station. This should be true for all the new structures.

Construction facilities, Reactors and Labs. As these would plug into the depot and ship storage structure they would draw materials and deliver products to them. Eventually replace all POS functionality with new structures.

A place where I can dock my ship. Not store it, but dock, like at a station. With quarters.

A market. This allows any person, corp, or alliance to set up their own market anywhere.

Weapons and other defensive stuff.

As few limits as possible on how many of these things could be plugged into each other.

when will we finally see something happen to POS?

edit: i just did 32 jumps in a freighter, dont think i am anywhere close to being positive about Rubicon...



The idea is that these will REPLACE POS with time

Personal Mobile gank link bonus. Deploy them, and you get a certain ganglink bonus while on the same grid as the module.

+1 for this. Preferably it would expand the wormhole enough to allow Supercaps in; Wormhole PvP really needs a shake-up that only nullsec alliances are capable of giving it.

A decoy structure that imitates a specific ship on probe and d-scan?


no. thats punishing players for looking for PVP. Why would that ever be a good idea?

When deployed periodically clicks d-scan every second, as long as there is some space-grain on it.

Mobile structure that hides ships on grid from D-Scan Twisted

May be not grid, may be a smaller radius.

Wormhole stabilizer

A mobile structure anchored on a wormhole that forces it to stay open for a set time regardless of mass jumped through - instead it has a set maximum mass(size) of ships that are allowed to jump like acceleration gates depending on what class the wormhole is -, makes fighting around wormholes easier and one side can't just close the hole and trap the other. Would make wormhole pvp more common and increases the ability to be agressive in w-space.

Once anchored and online it's invulnerable and both itself and the wormhole is destroyed/collapsed once the set time ends.

EDIT: Oh, someone already suggested it, well this is how I think it should work

Deployable Shield-generator

One time use (like the cynojammer), limited time - upon deployment generates a 10km-ish shield bubble with similar effects as a POS-Shield: Nothing inside can target/damage anything outside and vice versa, only the owning pilot can leave or enter at will. Shield can be attacked (will flag the attacker suspect) and destroyed (no reinforcement) HP of a Battleship.

I leave the tactical implications to everyones imagination :)


I had a similar idea though I would make it usable by anyone in the alliance or fleet of the player deploying it and only deployable in low sec and null sec. It would also need hit points close to that of a capital ship (1-2 million hit points) rather than a battleship to really be worth using (ie requiring a small gang to take it down in a reasonable amount of time rather than a single cruiser). It would also require 1-2 blocks of fuel (any type) to continue functioning and would only have room for 8 hours of fuel.

Mobile Shield Emitter would be a good name for it.

Excactly, Khador. Just what we need to finish off those offlined-towers spamming all moons in highsec. If people don't maintain their ****, they shouldn't have it. Perhaps it should be limited to offline towers alone. Capture the tower and you capture the whole POS with modules, gunes and everything.

A mobile brothel that for the right amount of ISK dispenses relevant merchandise for people to put in their cargo holds. Pimp my kill mail CCP. Think GTA... but in space.

Edit. Naturally the mobile brothel would be an equal opportunities employer. Hell I might finally make some ISK if I can sell my clones...

A mobile thing that lets you put supercarriers and titans in a wormhole.



















Just let it happen.

I really like this idea. There are soooooo many dead sticks in w-space that need to be salvaged. I can practically taste the iskies. =P

Two things:

1. Deployable "stealth" unit. - Hides ships from D-scan ,but not combat probes or overview. Can be used in deep null or wh to stage an offensive, or hide a defensive force.

2. Mining colony - Deployable structure that mines ice, gas, or asteroids and deposits the contents into a mobile Depot. Mobile Siphon units may be attached and divert resources from the deployable's output. They run until the belt is cleared or their depot is full.
