With our shiny new police pursuit comets, it has occurred to some in my alliance that we need a loud speaker that plays the theme song to "cops" to go with it. I propose this module be added as a high slot mod with 1PG and 1CPU that can only be fitted to the police pursuit comet. The music would be played for the comet pilot and for any player they have locked. I demand this feature be implemented by April 1st.

generic siren

smooth criminal

For posting an idea into F&I: come up with idea, try and think how people could abuse this, try to fix your idea - loop the process until you can't see how it could be abused, then post to the forums to let us figure out how to abuse it..... If your idea can be abused, it [u]WILL[/u] be.

But if we do that, It will become H.E.R.O.'s main doctrine. because why not.

On that note, police comet shoudl have the ability to enter POS-shields of any POS with contraband in it, or a player with a suspect/criminal timer.

In space, no one can hear you scream.

Gate campers are just Carebears with anger issues.

Edit: +1 to the script idea.

You want to say that this module is a hacking device that lets you hack into another ships sound systems via a mini game (databank difficulty level) and play the siren/whoopwhoop melody there, right? And the player of the ship, provided s/hes active, can counter your hacking attempt by placing this nifty little firewalls, restoration nodes, virus suppressors and so on in order to hold you off. And that this minigame varies in difficulty (size of the grid mainly) depending on the ship class, ie. frigs have a smaller grid than battleships. Right, that's what you wanted to say? Roll

Because, as already noted, in space no one hears you scream or whoopwhooping.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.

There also isn't a speed limit on ships and generally speaking, planetary bodies orbit their parent star(s). Eve has never pretended to have any basis in the laws of the physical world.
