Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hmmm think you're being a little mean spirited here and taking it off topic, but to confirm, the ship classes are almost identical to the roles used in naval warfare, and even in game factions are called things like the Amarr Navy. So, it is not to much of a stretch to suggest that destroyers, who hunt 'stealthy hidden' submarines in naval warfare, hunt 'stealthy hidden' stealth bombers in the science fiction world of EvE. I can't see what is wrong with that suggestion.

Well, given that drones can easily kill a stealth bomber, I'm going to have to assume that either the battleship pilots in question were both poorly fit, or did not warp away, given that the stealth bomber cannot point and use target dampening enough to both hold and solo a battleship with complete immunity. Stealth bombers combined, well that is a different story of course, although something like an Arazu is still handy in the gang to provide the pointing.

Anchorable beacons would probably push the game of cat and mouse, firmly in the cats direction, where as a destroyer is a vulnerable ship in a fleet engagement, and would have a very specific, human controlled role against stealth. Again, I only suggest this as an alternative to those suggesting there should be the ability for all ships to probe out cloaky ships system wide. Intelligence plays a key role in EvE, and cloaky ships are needed, and sat miles away from anything, in a safe spot, should indeed feel very safe. The risk should come into play if they approach an actual ship or fleet.

Regarding local, I have previously suggested a temporary local jammer for black ops class ships, therefore retaining local in existing game play, making it different from WH space, and making it more interesting and useful to fly a black ops ship and fleet.

Deployable Cyno Jammer is really something that sounds great. Will protect the little guys when doing pos siege on the (big alliances pos). And large moving fleets won't have any advantage using them.

They do need a online delay think (minutes)
And only 1 on grid.
And not to though so it dies to some alpha damage..

Here is my list of modules I would like to see for small scale deep space operations:

• Ore Refining Module: Allows refining of ore from cargo hold slowly and with bad factor.
• Ammo Building Module: Load with ammo BPO/BPC and build slowly a small charge of ammo.
• Drone Building Module: Load with drone BPO/BPC and build slowly a drone.
• Remote Fitting Bay: Allow refitting of nearby ships which have no capsuleer onboard.

For pvp operations:

• Web Nullifier: Reduces the effectivity of enemy web on your ship by 50%. Implement with stacking penalty.

T.A.G. (Targeted Ampflied Guidance) System

High Slot
Ewar
Chain Efffect
Requires Tag Shot Ammo

This Gun 'tags' targets making their signature larger than usual.
This effect stacks.
This effects counters any module assisted stealthing completely nullifying it for the duration of the tag.
This effect doesnt counter rig, skill, ship based stealthing.
In low stacks not as effective as painter.
Requires multitude of stacks to outperform target painters.
This effect has stacking penalties.
Prevents Cloaking in the event of escape.
Individual stacks are individually timed and do not refresh if a new stack is applied.
Stacks wear off eventually.

I like the idea of a heatsink module that uses coolant, I'm not sure why the game doesn't have this anyway, or more ingamey, why pod pilots haven't rigged up a coolant system already.

new modules

pvp tractor beam S\M\L that will push you to victim and victim to you. S\M\L Beams should differ by power and optimal range. Some ships like recons and proteus should have bonus to beam's optimal. This module should NOT affect to moving direction of victim and possibility of warping.

"black hole module" . Russian pilots talk a lot about this. It should be gravitational bomb that will grab ships to the center of explosion. And one more bomb that will push them out of explosion. That modules should affect vector of aligning.

+1 drone module to sub capital ships.

targeted modules for logistics ships that will boost resistances and another attributes of target.

remote warp stabilizer that will add +1 to warp str of target.

new turret that will destroy incoming missiles and protect members in watch list.

damage mods for smartbombs.

reworking modules

Let automated targeting systems to be immune to jamming.

Let lasers do damage to victim's modules randomly.

boosting Electronic Warfare Drones but not ECM drones.

boosting Defender Missiles and let them protect fleet members that in the watch list.

Emergency Bulkheads.

Consumable Module
Reactive.
Low Slot.
Local Logistic.

These emergency bulkheads use explosive bolts into install themselves into place offering precious few more seconds of additional protection.
Restores a 25% of armor.
Reduces Hull by 50%
This module activates once hull starts to take damage.
Module self destroyes entirely when activated.

I have a couple of ideas.
One idea is a hauling "drone" it would take your drone slot but it could not shoot or defend you and it could not be brought into your drone bay. these drones would follow you through stargates and such and basically be giant secure containers or something similar with engines. These would be mostly useful in pve to pick up loot afterwards or for miners to store minerals in.

another idea I had would be a special tractor beam that would allow you to tractor something while you warp. Obviously it would have to be expensive and hard to use.

I would like to see a new ewar module that would disrupt the funtion tank items. for instance a emp pulse that lowers shield resists or a nanite weapon that lowers armor resists something like that.

Another ewar mod that would be nice is a device that releases a sphere of energy based on your ship that disrupts remote shield/armor reppers.

Another nice mod would be one that increases the size of your drone bay and the banwitdth that way if you wanted you could say remove some armor from your ship to make room for extra drones and the ability to launch drones one size larger then what you currently can. obviously this would not include fighters or bombers. and a new class of drones would have to be made that is a little bigger then heavies and smaller then fighters.

another cool idea would be a mod that would be a one time use and disable a ship entirely. i am not talking about like ecm i mean it completely shuts the ship down engines guns fitted mods everything. obviously it would have to leave the basic ship functions intact and the base shield as well. this mod would have to be expensive to use and probably need to have some pretty high ew skills and cap requirements as well. maybe it could even be an aoe device that would affect your ship if caught to.
I dont know if any of these have been mentioned and I am sure that they are pretty far fetched but its just some ideas.

I haven't read the thread yet, but what do I want?

I want my SEBO, hardeners, DCU, ECCM, and other non-target related modules to remain on from session change to session change, only to be broken by cap drain, docking, ejecting, or turning them off.


edit: cloak does not fall into this list.
edit 2: MWD/AB either
