Warfare Operational Standards.

Ganglink
Scripted module
Highslot

These modules sprovide a very specific system boosts instead of broad ranged ones like thier cousins.
For example instead of boosting all armor resitances it only boost Kinetic armor at the cost of other three effects the standard operation of the module provides.
Script required for operation.
Total script bonus slightly weaker than standard nonscripts.
Script trait boost cost come at a cost of degrading traits some scripts will cancel each other out.

Counts as a command link.

heavy tractor beam, can pull ships.

reuses current bouncing mechanics (lol) by taking ship mas and engine power into account (you have to maneuver accordingly otherwise you pull yourself to the other object)

resistance is futile

Triple *insert name here* Sequential Fire *insert name here* Mount
Takes three of the smallest guns of the next size down to its slot size (i.e. Triple 150mm Sequential Fire Artillery Mount would be a Medium).
Fires three of the next size down charges, with the same tracking and range as the smaller gun, over the cycle time of two of those smaller guns. The visual effect should be three shots fired from a Gatling-style turret.

This type of module is only available for artillery-type weapons (Artillery, Railguns, Beam Lasers)

I have given this almost no thought, at all.

Megathrons, Megathrons everywhere

Expunger

Heat
Ewar
High Slot
Consumable

This short ranged module increases heat on targeted ship.
Increases heat on own ship.
This module once activated cannot be deactivated
This module is self destructive but self contained heat sinks prevents damage to the rack however it will amplify any generated heat on the rack if used conjectively

I was thinking about the Myrmidon indeed. But the Ishtar could also benefit from such modules, just like any other ship willing to sacrifice slots for improving their drone capabilities. An Ishkur with a full flight of Medium drones at the cost of no guns for instance.

So please, think a bit before dismissing this.

Maybe fusing the Drone Control Unit and the extra bandwidth modules would make sense if you get small, medium, large and capital versions with appropriate fitting requirements and/or bandwidth enhancement.

Armored Missiles.

Missile
New Type

Larger and slighlty more expensive than normal missiles. (fewer in magazine meaning more reloads)
Same damage capabilities.
Takes additional damage before being killed.
Best used in long range engagements.

Multidrive Missiles

Missile
New Type

Larger and more expnesive than normal missiles.
Samd damage capabilities
Goes faster in the same distance preventing shot down by gun and other types of methoods
Best used for shorter distances.

- drone implants

- make all t2 modules better than t1 modules with m4 beeing very close in capability but with reduced requirements (hint: armor plates!)

Nanopaste Tanks

Local Logistics
Heat Related
Consumable Module
Low slow module

When activated this module self destructs thus uninstalling it form fitting.
Deactivates and stops overheating on all active modules to make repairs all modules back to full health at end of cycle. Modules can then resume operating afterwards.
Expensive as it will have 24 modules worth of paste as construction requirement.

Shield Imulsion Generator

Local Logisitcs
Hybrid Dual Function
Midslot
Ammo Fed - Shield Battery

A hybrid shield reistance amp and shiled booster.
Requires material and does have to reload eventually causing a hole or oppertunity to be exposed.
Does not consume as much cap as traditional shield boosters, benifits from shield amps and all related skills.
Comes in multiple flavors form specific resists, twin resist, multispectrum, and buffer only no resists

Armor Seathing Coater.

Local Logistics
Hybrid Dual Function
Low Slot
Ammo Fed - Armor Paste

A hybrid amror repair and resistance plate.
Requires material and does have to reload eventually causing a hole or oppertunity to be exposed.
Does not consume as much capacitor as traiditional amror repairs, benifits from all armor related skills.
Comes in multiple flavors form specific resists, twin resist, multispectrum, and buffer only no resists
