Player Features and Ideas Discussion

A little overpowered perhaps, but something like this would be cool. Stealth Bomber deployment method, and one of two types. The first makes it impossible to get a stable reading off the wormhole and makes it inherently unstable; the second causes the wormhole to reduce mass drastically, potentially collapsing it. Given a combination of both, or 2-3 of the second, even a C6 Wormhole with maximum mass could be brought down in theory. Works for both attackers and defenders.

That's a weapon, more than anything else, and it would be used specifically to grief Wormholers. I see no reason to agree with something like that, and don't feel that anything should be released into the game in that fashion.

It also stands to reason that anyone with sense would develop a device they could use to reliably close a wormhole, (even if it takes a few tries), rather than continuously risking 1-3 billion ISK ships to do the same thing. If they can't develop it themselves, then it stands to reason someone will develop it for them. It's not to much to ask, to have that capability.

I'm offering an alternative, that gives both sides a tool and a weapon they can use in this kind of fight, and it is a fight; I've lived in Wormholes more than long enough to understand every aspect of this system of PvP. It's risky, but oddly enough, those that live in wormholes usually understand the mechanics and have that much more Intel on what is going on, that they usually come out on top in these situations. Perhaps if you can't handle losing to these guys, you should try to learn a bit more about how to effectively deal with the mechanics.

edit: I might add, that it's almost guaranteed that the people who live there, will use this tool much more effectively than those who wish to play games with them.

Cosmetic 'Modules'

They wouldn't take up actual Module Slots, they would just be cosmetic modifications for your ship.

I first got the idea when I saw what the Armor Repairer did to my ship's appearance, and I love it.

I want a module that lets me blast music from my pc into the eve universe...

Wormhole mechanics devices/modules:

--A wormhole creation device
-would create a wormhole to a seemingly random class of wormhole but requiring isotopes as an input.

-different isotope composition would produce a more probable WH class outcome

- the spread of isotopes required to generate a most probable outcome, could be governed, and changed by the amount
of different WH in the current system.


--A wormhole stabilization tool
--Could hold a WH from mass or time collapse

--Drawbacks would include an increasingly more probable random chance that when a person jumps through, the exit
System could be in a different location.

--Would require a large isk investment. increasing exponentially as time passes, and efficiency decreases

POS MODULE

WAREHOUSE -

A simple redesign of a Giant Container will do quite nicely.

BEFORE you all flame this realize please CCP you have stifled corporate growth for a very long time based on shared access in deep space corporations.

I am not proposing a rewrite of the POS system (God Knows Its Needed But Far Off In The Future) but simply a big fat can anchorable inside a POS shield by anyone who is a member of that corp and protected with a password even the CEO doesn't know unless told by the member "AND Nameable"

Make it popable by a rookie ship if the shield fails to make it more attractive to the pirates and attackers.

The one thing that makes recruiting hard in deep space is asset storage and this would solve that issue simply, quickly and painlessly

Fellow CEO's facing this issue please speak up and endorse this change

Proposed T3 mining, production and weapons idea Null sec and Wormhole space only

THE INTENT OF IDEA
Barge mines the raw solar plasma from sun spots
T3 barge not to be able to tank much in the kinetic and explosive damages so that they need an escort in null sec but can easily tank solar flare damage
The stability of sun spots and the number of them on a sun is dependent on type of sun
T3 weapons can use T1,T2 and T3 ammo but there are penalties to them using T1 and T2 ammo less for using T2 ammo
Raw solar plasma is refined into refined solar plasma at a station or POS refinery
Refined solar plasma is sent to a planet with an advanced plasma refinery and used with planetary plasma to make weapons grade plasma
T3 ammo should be hard and costly to make but should hit a hell of a lot harder than T2 ammo

Ore have found a way to make use of some sleeper parts to give a Skiff sized exhumer the strength and ability to mine plasma directly from a sun but at a cost that the resulting solar flares will disrupt the way many system on ship will work (cap ships cynoing in will miss the cyno by a % that is related how many ships are mining from the sun and how strong and the number of solar flares, fleet warping in a system under going solar mining will spread out in relation to the distance being warped and to the solar flare activity, inter fleet communication is disrupted in relation to the solar flare activity where by the effects of command modules an tracking links and the like will be affected, drone range will be shortened in relation to the solar flare activity.) due to these effects solar mining is restricted to null and wormhole space only and can be used in a strategic way by alliances to weaken an invading fleet or an invading alliance could use it if they can sneak or plant miners in a system to undermine the defending fleet if not aware or ready for the attack

6.The type of sun changes the amount of damage a solar flare will do
7.Solar flares are triggered by strip miners the more ships mining the same sunspot the greater the chance of a solar flare
8.Solar flares can do damage out to 100km
9.Solar flares can damage drones
10. Solar flares cause system wide disruptions

T3 BARGE

SOLAR PLASMA MINING UPGRADE (T3 mining upgrade)
1.To be invented from a T2 mining upgrade BPC and need a T2 mining upgrade module and sleeper parts to build

T3 AMMO (Lasers)
1.To be invented from a T2 laser ammo BPC
2.T3 laser crystals will need 2 T2 laser crystals + weapons grade plasma + sleeper parts to build 1 unit of T3 ammo

4.T3 short range missile ver. Should have faster ROF and fly faster and do more damage if relation to the distance travelled i.e. unused fuel is used to calc damage than T2 ver. But the flight time is less than the T2 ver. (more speed to lessen chance of defender interception)

T3 WEAPONS
1.To be invented from the T2 ver. BPC
2.Will need a T2 weapon + sleeper parts + minerals to build

Tactical Supply Ship


The "Tactical Supply Ship" is a ship to supply fleet operations,
POS and tactical operations. It's shiphull is like a "Noctis".

possible abilities:

- remote heat repair (nanite repair paste consumtion)
- supplement of lost drones in roaming fleets
- faster ancoring time for mobile warp disruptor
- remote supply in consumption fuel (liquid ozone, isotopes,
strontium for POS)



Strategic Supply Ship

The "Strategic Supply Ship" is a full capital ship with jump
drive. The role of this ship is to supply large operations
in 0.0 space.

possible abilities:

- faster ancoring time for POS and POS modules (maybee with a module?)
- +1 controled POS module per skillevel
- can use "strategic command links" (for longer ancoring time of
sov. blockade unit(defensive module) or faster(offensive module);
better POS resistance; more POS HP...
- remote supply in consumption fuel (liquid ozone, isotopes,
strontium for POS AND ships)
- able to support Carrier and Dreads remote, while in Triage and Siege.

Rigs that add 1/2 slots in mixes, like:
T1 rig: add 1 slot (only 2 fitable at same time)

T2 rigs: add 2 slots this way: (make only 1 fitable at the time)
1 mid and 1 high
1 mid and 1 low
1 high and 1 low.


Missiles:
A Module equivalent to tracking enhancers and tracking computers for missiles (more range and better damage against small targets)

T1= +5% missile explo speed, +5% missile speed, -5% missile explo radius.
T2= +10% +10% -7.5%

and no target painters dont count, those benefit both turrets and missiles, and dont help missiles range or against fast targets either.

Drones
low slot Modules for DPS and ROF:
T1= +5% ROF and +7.5% Damage
T2= +7.5% and +10% Damage

Scout Data Link

Fleet Warfare Module.
Fleet Assisgned Role - Scout Module.
Targeting
High Slot
Passive

This module requires a new overview option called remote overview. Fleet assigned scouts with this module will transmit thier entire fleet overview to the rest of the fleet that has the remote overview option enabled. Ships wihtout the scout role will not be allowed to transmit this information.
Only works within system.
