We need a new module in eve. One that creates randomness. Call it an Improbability Drive. This drive, when activated, will at random, take the capsuleer and put them in a system in eve completely at random. This could have interesting results for the capsuleer. Or it could be used against opponents sending them to far flung reaches of eve space. either normal space or WH space. randomness of system type based on skill level trained. Imagine the chaos and havoc one could cause with such a device.

Imagine the waste of Dev time and resources better spent elsewhere used in creating the thing because of its utter pointlessness.

I think I've seen this in the One-Line Bad Idea thread a few times.

EDIT: in fact, I posted an idea for a short-range version.

Only if I can produce Really Hot Cups of Tea from my PI planets to fuel it...

And towels...lots of towels...

But you can't get tea. You can get something that resembles tea, but it's not tea.

so you want a prop mod that you can randomly end up somewhere or you can target an enemy and send them some where?
NO
yes for a local prop drive to send your selfsome where, not that I see a wide use for this
No for a "weapon" because it would become highly abused by someone to make an enemy fleet disappear so they can bash uncontested.

The really sad part about this idea is that it isn't even original. I've seen this posted here before.

If you're a scientist looking for a strong Brownian-motion producer you can get tea...

Only if you want to drink it and ask an incredibly clever machine will you get something almost, but not entirely, unlike tea.

I love how it's "we NEED a new module..." Oh we NEED this device? I'll be the first to tell you EVE 'needs' big changes, but a random stupid module that does this isn't one of them.

The UI update we deserve
