Would be interested to have a modual that can block easy access system information, ie indexes, vulnerability, pod kills, jumps, cyno light etc. When this modual is inplace it would read ' information is being Scrammed' some pilot would have to visit the modual to view the information, destroy, entosis it, etc.
This Scrammed information would also effect also crest information.

Someday I will have the time to play. For now it is mining afk in High sec. In Cheap ships

If knowledge is power then this structure presents a very powerful tool to prevent others from having easy access to that knowledge.

Its an interesting idea. The owner of the structure should be able to see that information from a UI and perhaps it is something that can be turned on and off via Entosis or simple destruction of the structure (seems to me to qualify as a Medium structure).

Cloaking is the closest thing to a "Pause Game" button one can get while in space.

Support better localization for the Japanese Community.

Easy access to information is bad. I kinda' like this idea.

Obviously, putting one of these up in a system would scream "carebears and/or SCAAs here" but it would then introduce some hilarious deceptive tactics;


  1. put up super-cap infrastructure,
  2. get attention,
  3. put up blocker POS mod/IHUB upgrade,
  4. move super-cap infrastructure,
  5. shoot people that come for your towers.

This thread is a bit redundant as these kinds of structures are in development already. They will likely be more information up after the citadel release but if you look in the upcoming features or scour the features and ideas section enough you should be able to find the specific mod thread about surveillance structures. Not to say that your idea exactly is what these structures are for, but this has been discussed in those threads.
