Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Mobile jump clone facility.

I still want to see this. Can we get another meta version called 'Heisenberg'?

that would be awesome, betting on races!

So many good ideas:

CONCORD jammer that eliminates CONCORD response for five minutes in a 100 km radius is genius. Two minute spool up time, can't scoop it back up, 100 HP while anchoring, 100,000 HP when active ( equal shields/armor, can be repped) lasts fifteen minutes, when destroyed/expiring there is a fifteen second warning window before CONCORD is ready to join the grid and start blapping. Great for free for alls, miner/ratter griefing, or luring people to their death in high sec. Cannot be used within 1,000,000 km of station, gate or other anchored structure. Somewhat expensive.

Acceleration gate, align it when you drop it and it creates a deadspace bubble 10,000 km in one direction with it's own "return" acceleration gate. Five minute spool up time, can't scoop it back up, 100 HP while anchoring, 1,000,000 HP when active. Has a reinforce timer at 25% shields. Usable by anyone, no restrictions. Deadspace bubble at the end is the ideal place to set up other modules/temporary base camp. Very expensive.

One time cyno bridge module, linked to another one time cyno bridge module. Fifteen minute spool up time, can't scoop it back up, high HP (all structure). Usable by anyone in space, as long as it has sufficient fuel. Lasts 10 minutes, and works both ways (again, assuming enough fuel). Anyone can add (or take) fuel. Self destructs at end of life. Very expensive.

Wormhole stabilizer: anchored within 100 km of a wormhole, shows up on system scanner. Triples the available remaining mass limit on a wormhole, does not affect lifespan, does not extend maximum mass limit. Five minute spool up time, lasts 12 hours maximum then self destructs. Low HP (all structure). One one allowed per wormhole. Destruction of module reverts remaining mass limit to whatever it was prior to deployment minus a percentage of what went through while module was active. Somewhat expensive.

Mines. Cannot be anchored close to gates or stations, or within 1 AU of another mine. Deployed instantly, 1 HP, Last for one hour. Will be activated by ships in warp, and pulse AoE damage for 30 seconds when activated. Very expensive. Better bring a scout, or have good bookmarks to bounce to :)w

Mobile stasis webbifier bubble. Five minute spool up time, then cloaks. Cannot be anchored within 100 km of station or gate. Activated by a high slot module with heavy fitting requirements; ship must be on grid to activate. When activated, module uncloaks and causes 60% speed reduction in 30km radius. 100,000 HP, lasts two minutes. Cannot overlap a warp disruption bubble or module fails. Fairly inexpensive.

Stargate jammer. Fifteen minute spool up time, anchored within 100 km of a stargate. Prevents use of stargate (one way). Low HP, all structure. Lasts fifteen minutes. Cannot be used on both sides of stagate pair. Very expensive.

Probe scrambler. One minute spool up time, no limits on where it can be anchored. Disrupts probe scans, reducing effectiveness of combat probes by 30% for ships within the area of effect, 25 km radius. Lasts thirty seconds, low HP, self destructs at end of life. Effects do not stack with other probe scrambler modules. Fairly inexpensive, small m3.

Mobile Acceleration Gate - Consumable structure to create a gate into a temporary deadspace pocket. Can be used as a hidey hole or trap, possibly prevents microwarpdrives inside. Shows up on system scanner.

Damn, made it 10 pages through the thread before someone had the same idea. To be balanced, should be a way for whoever to try to bust it before it onlines - doing so would incur at least a limited engagement timer with whoever anchored it and possibly a suspect flag so that defense is not risk free.

A structure that opens up a wormhole to a random system.

The idea is that it would provide a last ditch means of escape. (or a fun way to troll players)

Deploy > Wait for it to spool up > Wormhole opens > Hope that this is the jump that takes you home (cue quantum leap music)

A structure that creates it's own gravity well, allowing it to attract (spawn) asteroids and space debris from a nearby ringed planet.

Just don't fly too close whilst it's operating.

deployable mines I would love to see mine fields back in game.

Appendix A (for my earlier post on a mobile/permeant mining structure)

Here are the stats I am thinking about for the
Mobile Mining Structure

Tech 1 Version
2500 shield
2500 armor
1000 hull
3H;3M;3L slots
The fitting slots are limited to the players skills
Max of 3 weapon platforms.
100m3 Drone bay w/ support for 1 drones per player drone skill (will auto lunch drones set by player, or by current state of combat, defaults to mining drones)
1000m3 cargo hold
1000m3 charge hold
50000m3 mineral hold

Tech 2 Version
Double HP of Teach 1.
4H;4M;4L
Still limited to 3 weapon platforms.
Allows teach one of Mobile mining models.
-Mobile mining models would be items like a cloak, shield bubble, tractor beam, ore compression unit. (A cloak and bubble would be to much for a unit, so can't have both no matter what)
-Allows support for 2 drones per player drone skill
-100m3 Drone bay

Tech 3 version (permeant once placed)
double the T2s HP
5H;5M;5L slots
Allows 3 drone per player drone skill (increase drone bay as needed)
limited to 3 weapon platforms
Adds maintenance bay to store a single industrial ship (used with AP model, which allows the ship to haul ore to local station without player support)
allows tech 2 version of the support models. Cloak for unit + mining drones. larger shield bubble. large tractor beam etc.


Yeah. I think that would be about it for the stats. Nothing to OP for miners, but would provide something fun for people who want to mine but also do other stuff to.
plus the fact that the ore hold is open to anyone (unless cloak or shield bubble are on), and that the AP indy is attackable and loot able by other players with no concord interference.
