Solar wind high slot and T3 modules + New enemy ship

My idea is a new family of modules -
belonging to an old terrestrial technology and long forgotten untill a recent discovery of an antique vessel.
it consisted in a solar wind collector, that would generate high quantity of energy.
this energy was used as primary life support energy source for the ancients.
New interbreed technology applied to this module give birth to three new kind of modules:

Visually its a nano-paint coat. and the module itself could look like some sleepers like cables floating freely....
a little solar wind collector was the alternative idea for the 3D's module itself.

1 solar wind collector large
2 solar wind collector medium
3 solar wind collector small

Active, do NOT CONSUME cap, for a reason: its an ENERGY COLLECTOR.
CPU and PG should be similar to the NOS

the scripts.

Shield regen boost script > All Cap collected diverted to shields
Armor regen boost script > All Cap collected diverted to armor
Cap regen rate boost script > All Cap collected injected

Do not work with Bastion modules active ( but can be fitted and used if bastion present and inactive ), and only one module per time can be active. because basically it's a less powerful and very similar bastion module, even if ship continue to move while active. The cap regen feature to a high slot however would implies some very powerful combos, thus shouldn't be too high..

Cooling system script.... this script itself should be VERY RARE... and it will do what the name says...
boost the cooling heat rate... something like the tengu bonus... but here it comes another idea.... leave the cooling script separated from the solar collector, and make a modular module that can give some special bonuses only found ( ie. tengu overheat bonus ) in T3's. This would be low and mid-slot T3 Module only allowed on certain ships ( T2 Frigs could be the firsts... so instead than make T3 race specific modular frigs, this special modules would transform them in T3's).... sort of....
Just a cooling module T3 specific for T2 frigs
and maybe an interdiction nullifier T3 module
but would these be race specific fit possible or not... probably they should...

We want a new enemy! The Sepia sleeper that spits toxic clouds and living fluids!!!!

Well... Bastion module IS a capless booster
and R.I.P. those capsuleehars . Its retro-engensteering here, we have to drif it right!

What issue/problem does the introduction of this alleviate?

Apart from removing any supposed lack of capacitor.
To which - those pools are meant to be managed, thats part of the game.

its not just cap. its scripted module.

Is an energy - particles - collector - that should provide cap at the expense of speed\ sig radius.
It would be bery useful as you could fit more dmg - tank mods in mid -lows
eg Armageddon - Nestor would benefit a lot, but also command ships, logis, it would make them less spider
dependable - but not more powerful or it would be unbalanced.
It would be less powerful than Bastion module but yet you could still navigate.
Many ships has two main weapon systems also, were the second weapon system sometime is useless ( Raven? )

So, one issue is.... ships like the Raven, ( but there are many ot. ) Do have high slots that you either fit a useless module,
or they are left empty. Cooling system scripts for the SWC -solarwindetc- ? More overheat mahyem.
Its innovation I guess, but as other has stated, vessel from the dark ages are low -tech... so... it could kraken like sinth string in your spaghetti core - sys..... ( something like drug weariness for ships stats ) .



I was having the same thong in mind... its mass in space, so it should slow ship down... not sure for sig, as it would not increase resistance but boost. its mass could increase exponentially though. yay.

What OP doesn't realize are that ships from the times of the "Ancients" are not low-tech but instead are impossibly high-tech and infinitely more powerful than anything we have right now in EVE. A weapon that during ancient times was considered "civilian class" was used by Jamyl Sarum to obliterate an entire capital fleet with a single shot. I'm not even making that up.

On another note, the Bastion module is not a "capless booster". Maybe it's because english is not the primary kraken that sinth strings in your spaghetti core, but "booster" does not mean "bonus to the ship". "Booster" means "thing that recharges capacitor (or shields)". Bastion is a siege module, like what dreads have.

How does it compare with the mid/lowslot cap recharger type mods we already have?

Also, if you want a solar sail ship, get a zephyr.

First - If a ship with the SWC is attacket by NOS, it will boost the NOS captured by 100%. BIG drawback. ( But must be active )
Second It doesnt replace them. they affect cap regen and cap capacity. It would Inject cap every 10 sec ( skill reduceaable ) like a cap injector do.
Third. Instead of cap injected, that energy collected could be diverted through scripts to boost shield or armor regen, at the expense of sig\speed - still, a NOs would ruin their day.
It's a simple way to nerf immediately a very powerful module like this.
In PVE it would be a lot useful.
In PVP overpowered and unbalanced if it couldnt be shut down by the NOS wiping out the ship cap very fast ( still a PVP ship would have the normal cap injector, but it would open new pvp scenarios.

the cooling script script probably need another thread on its own
