Fireworks Launcher

Missile Launcher
Highslot
No Launcher slot required
Decorative
Holiday

Shoots a harmless firework display at or near targets or no targets in particular.
Pertty please for summer holidays?

Lypmh/Lamphry/Leech/Tick Drones.

Consumable Drone
Drone
Ewar

These suicidal drones attach to a target to reveal the ships location to the entire solar system for the next minute until its batteries run out regardless where the ship runs off too including other systems. Thus jumping gates with one attached is ill advised.
Can be removed by various systems including smartbombs.

Some suggestions:

1) I'd like to see more modules using scripts. Like, in example, a new afterburner where we can decide to get more speed at more capacitor cost, or less speed and more cap stability. Same with a MWD. A new active shield hardener may work too, were we can choose damage resistances using scripts without the need to dock and replace the module. This would add so much more flexibility and options to ship fitting.

2) An active damage amplifier would be great. Right now we have gyros/magstabs/heatsinks/bcus which work as damage amplifiers but they all fit only in low slots, and armor ships are somehow limited in that aspect. We already have tracking computers, which are the active equal to tracking enhancers, so an active damage amp which fits in a med power slot would be awesome.

3) I'd like to see new rigs that are more "extreme", I mean that have a much bigger bonus and a much bigger drawback. In example, a "Projectile Burst Aerator XT I " which drastically increases the turrets ROF but at the cost of a lot more PG. This would make for even more specialized fits, which should be good IMO.

Frictionless Weapon Upgrade
Recoiless Weapon Upgrade
Extended Weapon Upgrad
Predetonator Ballistic Control
Hypernavigation Ballistic Control


Weapon Upgrade
Low Slot
Alternative Weapon Upgrade Selections
Support

These are alternative weapon upgrades that exchange normal rate of fire for other traits. They have similar fitting requirements and all traits boosted are stacking penalized as usual.

Frictionless increase tracking,
Recoiless extends range,
Extended increases local magazine size.
Predetonator allows for faster explosions and smaller ones
Hypernavigation allows for extended flight time.

External Warfare Pod.

External Series
Ejects for Use
Self-Destructive
Consumable
Highslot
EWar

These pods lie dormant on the hull until ejected by the pilot. They then deploy and target all of the host ships targets and assailt them for as long as thier batteries last for a minute or two.

Pods are highly destroyable and fragile and die once thier batteries expire.

Pods cannot be scooped up.

If host ship dies or leaves the field these pods will continue to assail thier last targets or a fellow pods targets but the pod group will not aquire new targets afterwards.

Pods are stupid enough to not know if target is out of range and will continue to attempt to hit target despite failing range check.

This external module will be unfitted on activation thus requiring a replacment module to be installed before it can be used again.

Newtonian Nullifier

Scripted module
Highslot
New Ewar.

This module increases the cycle times of rack of modules on target ships.
Individual scripts are for various rack levels and have varying speeds.
Can be used offensively to cap out the opponent causing them to use thier modules more than they need to.
Can be used defensively to improve defenses or friendly offensive abilities if thier capacitor or ammo reserves can handel it.

Just a thought about those heat projecting modules which have been suggested in here...

They would do terrible things when used in gatecamps en masse. Such as burning out a target's warp stabs. Thus, I vote against them, unless warp stabs are made immune to heat.

Warp stabs already have a niche role, with very crippling drawbacks. They must be reliable.

BTW, why not introduce multi-slot inderdiction nullifiers (in small, medium and large sizes) ?

Emergency Warp System.

Emergency Series
Navigation
Counter Electronic Warfare
Consumable Module
Self Destructing
Damaging Module
Heat

This module consumes all capacitor, sets ship heat racks to full and unrepairs all modules to 0 hp and disables them and initiates an emergency warp regardless of points on the ship.

All capacitor and heat full is instantly applied.
Unreparing of modules only happen mid warp

Does not work against infinite point or AOE interdiction methoods.

i know this has been said alot but who cares im just giving a rough idea for it

Escort carriers

99% reduction to warfare links
50%(?) reduction in powergrid cost of capital reps
20%(?) reduction in cpu cost of capital reps
50%(?) reduction in capacitor usesage of capital reps
Bouns to range or racial capital reps (same as raical carrier possbly more)
(raical bouns, (armour resis etc))
Can fit Tactical Logistics Reconfiguration modules

can NOT use drone control units
fighters used in highsec will NOT warp after target if it warps (can warp back to escort carrier if they go out of range of (150K)

escort carrier can only carry 5 fighters (maybe 1 or two more at the most can deploy only 5)
Uses stargates (maybe acceleration gates?)

100% to fighter control range

no jump drive

let me know if you think anything needs to be added etc.

Canister Launcher

Logistics
Meta-gaming harassment potential
Highslot
Launcher Slot
Support
Does not count as electronic warfare or remote support.

This high slot module allows loading of special canisters to be shot at a target which is then automatically looted into thier cargo bay if they have room allowing for combat resupplies of criticaly needed munitions and support fuel.

Can be used to deliver unwanted trash to opponents or presents to unsuspecting persons.
Shooting canister does no damage.
Does not allow for harmful cargo in the future as the canister will not survive the trip.
Can be shot down by defense systems and smartbombs.
