Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm concerned that this d-scan unit thingy will make people ratting in null-sec systems further uncatchable. You will know that there is a unit there, but no way to know if it is worth warping to (is it a drake or is it a nidhoggur?) and they'll still have the advantage of local and start spooling up warp the second you come into system.

In the wormhole side of things, it could make for interesting engagements, but it's not going to protect PVE fleets a great deal, because they're going to disengage when they see a wormhole pop if they're smart, and if they're doing cap escalations they're in a siege cycle anyways, and we're going to see their kills on wormnav and just start checking where the mobile d-scan inhibitor is at.

It's an interesting concept for PVP, but I'm concerned about the PVE protection factor that takes out a lot of the gankability in null.

Svo.

Sure, and not having any clue about enemy fleet composition and location will encourage people to happly engage :)

We all know is not the way things work in EVE. Those things are like portable gate camps. Now, in my experience, if you think there's a gatecamp waiting on the other side you don't gather a random gang and jump to engage. If you are alone you simply care to have a ship able to evade the camp or simply don't jump.

If you're in fleet too you send a suicide scout in and then you see, if enemy numbers and fleet composition are ok for you then you bring the fleet in. Otherwise you give up (and goodbye scout).

Your example only apply (as a remote chance) to WH, that's just where such a change is not needed.
The fact that in any other situation in EVE doesn't work simply prove that is pointless without a nerf to local and the side already holding the ground, the defender, is the one having the time/chance to deploy this modules

Aside any theorycraft we know MSI will be used only to conceal PVE activities and blobbing gatecamps. And in general adding time sinks and deadlocks to the gameplay

Mobile jump whatsit changes are good. Possibly too little EHP to be of any use whatsoever but let's see. Better to start cautiously than ruin a ship type completely (yes, even kite-scrub Condors).

Mobile scan whatsit is just a gift to FW farmers. They need to be kept away from the beacon in FW plexes. The main thing they will accomplish in their current iteration (in FW space) is to decrease the number of fights.

If you were looking at this tool to provide a way for you to mine in safety in either low sec, 0.0 or w-space you would have been sadly disappointed regardless of the ongoing alterations to the scan inhibitor. As a wormholer, let me be the first to tell you "anyone can easily learn who's mining in an ore anomaly." It is trivially easy. You have no one to thank for that other than CCP, Odyssey and the move of Grav/Ore sites from scanned signatures to insta-warp anoms. This has literally ZERO bearing on the MSI.

And this explains a lot but...
Furthermore, solo mining in hostile territory is foolishness regardless of what setup you use. Bring a friend or three.

With all that out of the way, for someone who is obviously too "timid" to use their actual pilot (you don't truly believe that anyone thinks you're just a very impassioned but new pilot, right?) your request to everyone to "HTFU" would be almost endearing if it weren't patently obvious trolling from a frightened 'bear.'

So without further ado, you can rest safe in the knowledge that you're the second to be added to the "My word that person is too dense to bother with list" (better known as ignore). Feel free to play with Dinsdale's tinfoil collection.

You are possibly the most obnoxious person I have ever seen on Eve O. Congratulations!

Mobile Micro Jump Unit: say bye bye to kitting, easy way out for brawlers= lame

Mobile Scan Inhibitor: Safer null bears, and FW traps

I dont see anything positive coming out of this, just making null bears safer and killing a completely legitimate way to pvp (kitting)

^ I'm not 100% sure but if it did work like that, it would be the dumbest mechanic in game.

I imagine every individual would have to click on the structure and activate it.

Any mechanic which forces solo-ers to use and multibox yet more alts is just bad, and needs to die in a fire. Seems like it's "Greed is good" all over again.

I am seriously questioning whether to carry on with this game is this is the direction it's going in.

Pointless gimmicky spammable structures that completely overide actually training skills and fitting modules to ships.
OP modules that discourage PvP and give bears even more safety.

What's next? Deployable turrets and missile launchers? Deployable Concord?

Sssst, don't give them ideas...

The "cloacking bubble to use in belts" is an idea taken from one of these forums.
And in the same forums were also proposed things like "deployable turrets" and "upgrades indexes in sov null NPC alliance navy"

Since you are going to make MMJU, a fleet version of MJD, please also make its counterparts for individual small ship and medium ship i.e.small micro jump drive and medium micro jump drive.
