Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Now to explain that somewhat vague title

What if Warp disruptor and Scrambler were the same mod, but a script changes between the two.

Without a script it's a typical warp disruptor, with a scramble script it becomes a scrambler, no different stats to current modules. And give it say a 15 second delay on loading or unloading the script.

This means you could swap between scram or disrupt on the fly but with a delay without having to hunt a station (sometimes not possible on null roams) or spend the time making a safe and using a depot to refit, only to miss the target you may have caught if only you had the other module fitted.

Thoughts?

perhaps elaborate on why you think this would negatively impact the game.

Couldn't have summed it up better myself.

All meta warp disruptors have a range of 20+ kms.

Meta warp scramblers have a range from 8km to 9km.

The issue is that while they do fundamentally the same thing (stop people from warping) they have in-built penalties for their respective benefits (range with no extra function versus limited range with extra stopping abilities).

I understood the idea your presented perfectly.

What I am saying is that your proposed module makes it so people do not have to make a hard choice in their fitting of a ship.

Simply warp disrupt at 20km to prevent initial escape, close the distance, switch script, and scram to prevent any escape. It basically obsoletes a dedicated warp disruptor and scrambler by virtue of being too adaptable to any situation... regardless of the marginally more limited range.

He understood fine. The issue is that the differences between Meta 2 and T2 versions of either a scram or point are not significant enough for your stated intention.

The simply fact remains, you want to reduce the requirement of choice from PvP fittings.

Big fat no from me and I'm willing to bet plenty of others will agree.

It takes about 2 or 3 seconds to switch a script and turn a mod back on. I do it all the time with tracking disruptors and Omni-directional links.

And what difference would it make in groups or if the target is being bumped?

Not sure if troll or ...

With double mods you can turn a 2 point 20km disrupt and no switching penalty into a 4 point Scram = NO, NONO, NONONONONO!

And looking at your other post which are basically silly reposts (3 on the first page), I have to doubt your sobriety or sincerity here too.

I have removed a rule breaking post.
