Player Features and Ideas Discussion

booby trapped mobile hangar

like the mobile hangar introduced today but rigged with huge explosives when someone tries to steal from it

causes area of effect damage upto 50km from the booby trapped hangar

standings scrambler module

when deployed it messes up the standings colours in local by randomly assigning nuetral, orange and red tags to players in local

that would be fun to see in the big blue donut

I'd like to see a mobile depot with more than 3000 and 4000 m3 space. Unless you want to see servers handle millions of the darn things.

Since the depot disappointed me a tad on the "there's many like it but this is my own" front, a personal POS would be good. Would need its own place on the UI so its not mixed with the other POSes and NPC-Stations.



Why hide your accomplishment?

I've glanced through the thread and I haven't seen either of these ideas so far:

+ Shooting Range
A structure that creates false targets to shoot and then outputs the combat log nicely. Generic ship class, speed and distance could be set. It could even run a simple kill report type feature showing who did top damage and such. Consider that if not for EFT or pyfa you never get close to this kind of info without logging onto the test server, and digging through combat logs. Use it to test fits or keep your fleet entertained while waiting for the cyno-bait to be taken. Corp owned ones could have a leader board for gloating.
(An exciting variant could use corpses for ammo. It could jettison corpses for you like a clay pigeon thrower.)

+ One-Armed Bandits
Player managed slot machines. Set the costs and rewards and watch all those gambling addicts hand you isk while gankers lurk and wait for the unlucky winners. Corp specific varieties could factor in standings to provide cheap entertainment for blues. Also I figure hacking or something like that could be incorporated to manipulate player input odds or payouts.

Let me be the first to say that I don't think these should be anywhere near the top of the list priority wise. A full replacement for the POS system and all that jazz should come first. However I think modules like these could ultimately be cool and help make your own little piece of space more unique. A lot more ideas along these lines, including memorials, might prove to be an easy way for corps/alliances to flaunt wealth and achievements as well.

First of all, I am really happy with these new space structures and the t3 subsystem change is great.


A tracking structure of some sort. Maybe along with removing local player listing and some cloaking changes add a structure that tracks and reports the all ships and names it catches on its scan. Set a scan range and allow reports to be accessed by the deploying pilot or corp anytime. Scanning reports would be on a real time basis but wouldn't always include names unless.......


Next part of my idea......The pilots ship now includes a transponder that reports the pilots name to the scanning array. This would allow pilots to see who is friendly and many other possibilities besides that.

Mobile patch negator structure;

would have room for 2-3 ships+modules

anything put into them is immune to devs change ala patch resistant
that way we could enjoy our loved ships/modules even after some terrible "balance" patches

How about a structure that fixes bugs? It has to be anchored at different parts of the CCP office, and it starts cleaning up all those nifty jira tickets? Also, implicitly fixes illogical things in the UI. Even more, if it finds a dev fixing important-to-players bugs, it rewards the dev with a cookie. :)

Rocket Harbor - Receives stuff from planetary launches, sends stuff to any planet's spaceport within a certain range.

This is something i posted in 2012 so i am re posting here in hopes this sees the light of day. Also Fozzie we got drunk together at the pub crawl this year. Just wanted to say thanks for making that trip so much fun.

What i would like to see is a mining colony for LOW sec and NULL sec. it just would be too dame easy in highsec and too expensive to remove.

Needs
*low cost
* easy to blow up
* Passive mining
* ore only (no ice)
* mines much less than barges(t1)
* limit 1 per belt and 1 per account



Keep it simple stupid. how i would make it in EVE (My dream Mine colony)

Looks
Use Already produced in game graphics ( Drone infested roid)
launches mining drones They pick random roids.

Details
when the drones come back they dump the ore into a holding bay in the mine colony ( similar to custom office),
Any one can take the ore from this hold. Same aggression mechanics for stealing ore from a jet can.

30-50 k EHP tier 1
50-100 k EHP teir 2

How big the mine colony is in a ship.( UN-packaged )
4000 m^3 for low tier
8000 m^3 for high tier


lasts until destroyed or unanchored.
Automatically starts unanchoring if The hold becomes full.

Hold size ( i don't really know how much ore this would be, Just a shot in the dark)
tier 1
10,000 m^3
tier 2
3000 m^3


Tiers

Should be low tier Colony and high tier colony

Low tier mines ore Places it into Hold.
Has 5 drones cost 3-4 m


High tier Mines and refines that ore places it into hold. Has 10 drones
5-14 m
Refiner has 70 % efficiency + user skills.
Refiner will not accept ores from the hold. Only refines what the drones bring back.


Skills

Low tier Requires
Anchoring 4
drones 5
mining drones 3
Mine colony 1

High tier ( uses refine skills of the person who anchored it.)
Anchoring 5
Drones 5
Mining drones 4
Mine colony 4



It would be nice to be able for individuals to place a mine colony and allow for passive low -end ore production.


I think it would be a nice Farm and fields for Null and low sec.
Something i can protect myself or with a friend or two.
is a great target for roaming gangs. Something they can Steal from and then destroy without much fuss or any freaking timers.


PVP for miners :)

Has anyone said personal cyno beacons yet?
