Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This was just an idea I had in the shower this morning, so the quality may be "eh". The idea would be for a new booster that would disrupt your capsule's connectivity to your ID and the fluid router network. The result would be that your name and alliance and corp affiliations would be suppressed for the duration of the booster. Sort of a privateer booster. You would still appear in local as "Unknown" or something similar, and could still be scanned down, etc. It would also remove your killmail, so you would receive no credit for any kills made in this state.

I see this as an extension of diplomatic gameplay, giving the ability to alliances to send out groups of privateers that could attack a target without attribution, which could be useful for all sorts of reasons.

Rather there be no local in systems that don't have a xl citadel or a station.

So no station or xl in system, no local.

Station or xl in system, local.

(You could probably do the large citadels also as that ones going to be the main base for most people).

For sanity's sake, instead of unknown, go with something like "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" (Unknown). May as well make target calling possible. Also, no insurance payout, right?

and if you die while in this state, you regress and lose all progress such as skill training made during the time.


It's starting to sound like a tech 3 booster.

Why?

This seems like a potentially interesting part of something, certainly more interesting than the wormhole-lite stuff everyone apparently assumes will happen.

So you could do what you wanted but not deal with the consequence?

So this booster would have you lose "blue" status for length of booster effect I am assuming. This would be alliance, corp, and fleet colors (assume a mixed fleel of non-allied/corped up peeps)....why the blue in quotes since too lazy to work the color spectrum.

Would seem to be the fairest downside to give this. Your no KM is crap....to some KM's don't mean much. many give these up already as it were. Its called the "fun alt". Saw this commonly in crews that said no piracy and no empire ganking on the corp tag. Wanted to do this, make an alt. Hulkageddons long ago saw some corp attendance drops one home I was in...they were on alts having fun in that lol

No color a downside to make this more viable. I'd want old boy being shoot on site and dying in his alliance's system in NBSI space.

Wait wait I am with you guys....
Well we can't read your tags so yeah, better safe than sorry and you have to go boom. have your diplo talk to my diplo if this legit and next time don't drop this crap in home space.

Low sec not seeing this a big seller. Many want the C&P notoriety and the tears (kind of hard to claim tears if players posts I was ganked by noone/unknown). Or if they go for ransom its kind of hard to have people pay up when not on your corp tag.

I know some pirate crews will honor ransom guaranteed, See piewats, see in this crew, I may pay this if asked. They hide behind this booster....just kill me as not risking losing ransom money AND my ship.

Empire....yep I want them to lose wt red and its bene's. they probably decced the bear crew since no balls to do an honest gank. drop booster, sneak up on target.....say hi to the concord they were trying to avoid in the first place.
