Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'd like to see more options for High Utility Slots.


Doesn't have to be crazy stuff, just something that gives me a few more options that might fit in different scenarios.

I'll try and think of some.

I am going have to agree with rhealee, webs already do this, star ship mass and counter reactives are too powerful to mount a tractor beam against it probably yank the tractor beam out of the mounting tearing nice hole in your own ship.

no. local is enough to know that there is someone in your system. WH space concept no local still speak in local > null local.

Anchor-able hacking module for taking abandoned POS's

Some module ideas. There is a bit of a covert ops/smuggler theme going on here.You could create a new subgroup of skills to go with these.

- A module that allows you to detect contraband (skills effect accuracy)
- A module that allows you to hide contraband (decreases the chance that you will be detected).
- One shot module that 'tags' another ship and notifies you of their position for a certain period
- A module to counter the above (makes information less accurate)
- A one shot module that removes you from local for a certain period (cancelled by docking or jumping)
- A one shot module that creates a fake signature of your ship to confuse players using probes.
- A one shot module that makes your ship stationary and puts you into a reinforced mode (could be a fun way to respond to being caught in a gate camp as it would give you 5 minutes to desperately spam your corp channel for help, or indulge in desperate begging.
- A module that allows you to use an enemies cyno to jump to their staging area.

Bubble shield module

Extends your shield to surround about 5x your ship's signature radius and protects all fleeted allies within the area.

All damage within goes to your shields instead of the targeted ally.

Must have a drawback like 25% penalty to all resists.

Drops when your shields go below 25%

To prevent stacks of these all damage goes in full to all active bubbles.

Area effect hits from smartbombs would hit the shield once for each ship they would normally hit.

The problem of a fleet burying their bubble in web tank can be solved by simply bumping.

My .02 ISK:


- Chaff and Flare Modules. Ships that do not have a lot of turret slots do not have much chance against missiles - especially small gallente and amarr ships. Chaff and flare would work as much as a counter-missile system like defender missiles would. Speaking of defender missiles...
- Since you can put a probe launcher into any high slot, why not a a slot specialized launcher for defender missiles only?

- Decoy drones: such a drone intended to mimic a ship so that on D-scanner and perhaps even combat probe scan they appear as other ships. Small decoys come up as frigates, medium as cruisers, and large as battleships.
- Anti-missile drones that orbit the ship and do pretty much what defender missiles already do, only drone style.

- A "one-up" module that creates a new slot in the next higher rack. For example, you put one in a low slot, that slot is used, but there will be one more mid slot. Put on in mid slot, that slot is used, but there will be one more high slot. Of course I would not expect there to be a way to exceed 8 slots in any case. A "one down" module might also be useful.

- A radar module that works like a D-Scanner except it gives you direction and range, but not a warp able hit. Basically this would tell you where to drop the combat probes.

- Special probes that can detect and pinpoint abandoned wrecks (great for salvagers)

- Since there are modules that can boost other ships' sensor strength and ECCM, why not a module that can be used to boost another ships probing strength?

- A special high-speed anti-drone turret.

- There are cloaks, and there are armor plates, but how about "stealth plating" to reduce the ships sig. With such modules, a larger ship can be as hard to probe out as a smaller one, making it harder to probe down.

Finally:

- Puppy launchers.

Player Created Incursions

An anchorable Player Incursion Device (PID) that, when successfully onlined, alters the entire system in a manner similar to incursions (Reduced bounties, reduced ship resistances, reduced damage output, etc).

This device would be used to drive conflict, by forcing the locals to respond to an onlining PID or face system-wide penalties for several hours. To balance it, when onlining it creates a warpable beacon for anyone to warp to, it has limited HP, is moderately priced, but requires a quick response before it starts altering the system.

Instead of adding new modules, which I am not against. I would prefer a whole review, in stages,  of the balance of the current modules. Especially the faction/deadspace/storyline/officer modules

I find it frustrating that one module completely out performs all the other modules in its class in almost every aspect making all the other modules fairly redundant and worthless

Example is the faction warp disruptors. The top one has the best range and is by far the easiest to fit. This shouldn't be. It should either be the easiest to fit or have the best range. Not everything!

Next issue with current modules is that storyline stuff is way too expensive for what you get. I propose that storyline modules give you a double feature. For example. A story line hardener would work for two different resistances. Or a storyline torpedo launcher would also target paint what it was shooting at. 

Faction guns should be able to use T2 ammo and be effected by weapon specialization skills but not require them to be used. 

More stuff like this. What do you think?

+1 for fake signature module.
