Aside from weapons and maybe drones to an extent, it would be nice to see more module flavor. Possibly ship race specific. For example, when you fit a warp disruptor or scrambler on a Minmatar ship, it should be a grappling hook that latches onto your ship. And instead of the usual "there's interference preventing you from warping", it would tell you there's debris stuck to your ship :D

I entirely endorse this idea! I really want strawberry flavoured afterburners.

I thought it was a fun idea. But I guess tackle mods are really the only place where they have room to add racial variety. Maybe cloaks too.

We could keep the standard warp disruptor, scrambler, and web as a base line. Then people have the option to use the racial varieties for flavor.

Minmatar get a harpoon/grappling hook thing. Uses little to no cap, uses charges, and has a falloff component. Falloff gives it dramatically more range, but there is always a chance for the hook to break in falloff, based on target distance and speed. To balance, while you are hooked, you can't warp either until you recall the hook which takes, I don't know, a few seconds.

I couldn't really come up with more varieties beyond that. Haha.
