Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A Mobile Salvaging Structure would be a very welcome addition to the game. It rewards people who run missions without blitzing them (mostly newbies).

Concord confusion model. Only lasts a few seconds but attracts concord to an area of space, like a gate, to either improve their response time at a location or distract them and give somebody 2-3 more seconds to shoot at something.

I suggest everyone to have a look at this: link. I think it has quite important things to consider.

Whatever the deployables, it would be welcome to know what's going to happen with POS first. Are they going to get updated, having deployables as a complement, or are they going to be completely replaced by the deployables system?

Don't know, but removing everything POS have -I mean, their structures, their game assets- and have them replaced with deployables, which in theory can be placed everywhere and not only at moons, might be more effort than updating the POS code (or perhaps not!). If POS are removed, I would miss them... In my opinion, just a few small deployables can't replace the feeling of "my little home" you have when next to a tower several kilometers long, specially in W-space, where they feel like the only place to hold to something solid above the abyss.

Feelings aside, I'd like to hear what's the future of POS first.

Rethinking POS's would be okay with me. As long as they have some sort of defenses.

I would like to see modular dockable pos's. Not attached to moons. Let people scan them down. its not hard. Now some just send peeps in to visit all the moons. I see nothing wrong with having to scan them. Then we can be creative with how we use them.

I don't think CCP are paying attention to this thread anymore but i would just like someone to "fix" the mobile deployables we already have in game.

+ The cyno jammer should be able to be deployed closer to gates, POS and stations
+ Scan inhibitors shouldn't be single use. The owner should be able to scoop them just like the depot
+ All deployables should have more HP so they can be used in combat

"Rally Beacon"

This is a deployable that will appear in every overview in the system and getting info on it reveals the owner. Anybody can warp to it.

That's all - I can list tons of uses for what is basically an instant public bookmark.

Well if it is cristmas-wish-list-time... here are my ideas. ;)

• Mobile Warp Inhibitor - This module will target any hostile (attacking the owner, bad standing to the owner) and fire a scrambling beam at them to disable warp.
• Salvage cruncher - Companion of the mobile tractor beam: it will salvage all wrecks in range.
• Mobile repair/shield transporter unit - Works like your favorite logistic friend, but must be placed close to a structure to function properly (tower, station)
• Mobile Cyno Generator - Fire & forget cyno generator for your fleet (or anyone?) to prevent all those poor rookie ships from being destroyed pointlessly. Cannot be retrieved, but is cheap to buy/build.
• Mobile Tractor Unit T2 - Same as the T1 version, but allows everyone to access it (even pesky thieves!). Will take much longer to anchor, but will stay in space for 1 month.
• Dual-link portal - Comes in pairs and if set up and linked properly it will form a jump portal in both directions. It will not require any fuel itself, but the ship that wants to jump needs to have fuel accordingly. No access restrictions, because we totally want the red guys appear right next to you totally unexpected.
• Mobile auto pilot - To activate you first need to set a route, then activate the module. If you do, you will be ejected from your ship and the auto-pilot will take your place. The ship will then auto-pilot to the destination and stay there. The ship cannot be boarded, at least not until the auto-pilot is deactivated again. Which will hopefully be inside a station.
• Mobile Sensor Array - If placed somewhere, it will activate and stay there until retrieved. Via a new menu you can access your currently placed beacons and they will give you some statistical information (slightly delayed/cached) about their immediate surroundings: number of pilots close by, the ability to query market data of the station (if any close by), number of cosmic anomalies in that system. Low HP, no Concord intervention, but will give aggression flag (we don't want Jita to be flooded with these).

Portable "battering ram" for taking down abandoned offline poses

Mobile tracking agent. i was expecting this for quiet sum time.It will be a good addition for the full time bounty hunters

Mobile local disruptor. If in radius can't see anyone in local.
