Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Its pretty much accepted that the Syndicate LP store has nothing desirable in it that makes running missions for the Syndicate faction desirable over running level 4's or 5's for literally any other Gallente faction. However the fact that the deployable faction bubbles are available from the Syndicate LP leads to a reasonable addition that would add a great deal of value to it.
I believe faction warp disrupt probes and faction Warp Disruption Field Generator modules would be popular additions to EVE that would also inject some much needed content generation into Syndicate.
The bonus to the warp disrupt probes could be something small such as a 5km bonus added to its warp disrupt range and a touch more EHP, making them slightly more desirable to people tackling capitals and the like by making them more resistant to smartbombing.
The Warp Disruption Field Generator would be harder to nail down since giving it a bubble larger than T2 would be somewhat absurd due to the already massive size of the bubble generated by the T2 module. However things like improved cap use and reduced fitting would make the extremely useful for fits where you have more than one WDFG allowing you to have a working fit without completely gimping it.
Feel free to comment or contribute ideas as you see fit.

EDIT: Faction bubbles also gives you an option for building in the mechanics of a bubble to stop MJDs which was mentioned when they were first announced, however I personally feel that such a mechanic would be best introduced after seeing how the medium MJDs effect the current meta, if it all.

I don't know anything about the Syndicate region of space but the idea of faction bubbles on interdictors and HICs is very appealing.

Intaki Syndicate Interdiction Probe Launcher, with less reload time! Or more charges.
Maybe some other additions, like a different set of combat probes that are awful to scan a solar system with, but have greatly reduced scan time.


Whatever. But really, some LP shops need some desperate work put in them. Like the Khanid LP store. It definately could use a 'Khanid Navy Slicer', which will make a normal slicer into this sleek and secksi Khanid flavoured Cruor that you can see at their stargates.

And so on.

+1 agreed.

That would be great. It would be nice to see the red-headed stepchild of regions get a little love.

This is a fantastic idea.
Wouldn't hurt to give nullsec Quafe stations Quafe Zero in their LP stores.

How about syndicate ships for the next patch? I'm no gameplay expert so I'll just throw this in and let you all run with it

Think that'd just be Serpentis wouldnt it?

No, it's a seperate faction.

"...and their power increased through asteroid mining and black market trading..."

Hell, why not Intaki Mining Barges, Syndicate Rorquals or Intaki Security ships. Syndicate blockade Runners and Orcas? Or at least change the Edge implants to affect the strenght of combat boosters, not the side effects. Or both. Just give us something worth buying when missioning for them.

I mean, Syndicate (the region) is pretty popular for pvp'ers and well populated. But compared to other NPC-0.0 Regions like Stain it's just not worth running missions for them. Give our carebears something to do and earn their money here without going to empire space. Give the region a reason to live in it, not just to come here as a habit and pewpew.

For those who doupt the need for a change, check out the Intaki LP store. And start laughing (...or crying, depends if you live here or not)

+1! I absolutely love this idea.

I completely agree that Syndicate (and to a greater extent all NPC nullsec space) could use a massive boost in income. It is really starting to be left in the dust by lowsec. I love the idea of faction disruption probes and warp disruption field generator. Perhaps we could also include a Syndicate Interdiction Sphere Launcher for interdictors with perhaps a reload time bonus. Even if they do the same thing the fitting bonus would be nice.
