Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I dont know where else to post this, since its a very small idea. Basically, I would like if the Augmented Capicitor reservior would give the proteus an extra 50mb bandwidth. this would allow a proteus that concentrates 2 subsystems to drones to fly a full flight of heavy drones, as well as allow other fits to add versitility and useage in being able to fly a full set of unbonused mediums. In the case of the Hybrid Propulsion armature, the drone bonus should either be a 25mb bandwidth, or simply allow the 4 heavy drones.

I can see a problem with allowing 4 heavies on a hybrid boat, so i can see why it would be problematic.

As a proteus pilot, id love to see a ship that sacrifices two subsystems to drones to be able to utilize the same drone bays as other drone focused ships use. Thank you.

Weapon Mod Injection:

Like a cap booster or strip miner, consumable charges (either damage based or one shot) provide large boosts to weapons for a short period.

Overcharge-able Shields:

Extend shields beyond 100%. The extra will rapidly drain back down to 100%.

Shield Vampire:

Behaves like NOS, only drains shields. Should be % based not # based, lest a battleship just strip the shields off a frigate instantly.

Shield Neutralizer:

Reduces the shield passive recharge rate by a fixed percentage. There is potential for multiple neutralizers to stack causing a negative regeneration rate.

Mine Field:

In the form of an anchorable smart bombs. All ships within the field take damage. This could be motion or speed based.

EWAR Bubbles:

New class of destroyer, preferably, where each type of ewar gets a field. Neuts cap every few seconds, breaks targets, distrupts tracking, or whatever.

Buffer Plates/Shields:

Modules with low fitting requirements that provide a lot of HP. The module cannot be repaired in any way (in station or in space) used purely as an alpha buffer.

Invulnerable Damage Control:

Module with a short (5-10s) cycle that, while active, disables all modules and targeting on the ship, fully drains the cap, adds 10s worth of align time in agility penalty, and burns itself out in exchange for 99% omni resist.

Ubiquitous request for a shield slave implant set.

Bigger changes i'd like to see:

Cooldowns on modules, would add more complexity and tactic to battle without adding to lag. For example ECM module, 30 second cooldown, chance to jam for 12seconds. Why does module effect duration need to be same as it's cooldown? Some unnamed new MWD: cooldown 60seconds, +1500% speed and agility for 12seconds.

Also expanding idea on cooldowns, only gamebreaking effects would need to have absolute cooldown. All other cooldowns should be kinda like suggestions.... if you use the module too early the effect would have diminishing returns. For example if you used ECM module i described earlier in 20 seconds the effect duration would reduce by 66% or jam strength would reduce by 66%. Calculaton could be "for every 1% of max cooldown the effect would reduce by 2%". So 33% reduction in cooldown would mean 66% reduction in effect.

Change to overheating: instead of damaging modules right from the start have a buffer where you could absorb first or few heat cycles before damage of module begins. Buffer would cool off in 10minutes or so. If you were conservative you could heat once every 10mins forever or X times in a row depending how you need the extra performance. Again more interesting mechanic, better gameplay without adding to lag.

New modules for overheating, buffer amount, cooling power.

Generally new propulsion modules, 1 mandatory is mandatory because it gives hundreds of percents bonus over normal modules giving 20% or so. Some 'teleport' like module that would 'teleport' 50km forward or so. Or would allow you to 'teleport' to a friendly ship with a beacon.

Immobility module that would render you and your target immobile for 5 seconds, 30second cooldown.

Paralyze module that would increase all target module cooldowns by 15%. Or maybe just remote repair, shield transporter and personal repairers and shield boosters.

Changes to CPU upgrade modules and powergrid upgrade modules. Integrate them into some other module. Sensor strength bonus+cpu bonus, power grid bonus with cap recharge bonus.

Some other less used modules could be integrted together. Ship scanner, cargo scanner, survey scanner, salvager, analyzer, codebreaker,.... and so on. Make one ship and cargo scanner. One Analyzer Codebreaker. All those analyzers salvagers codebreakers probe scanners and so on take alot of room from a fitting forcing you to have an alt and making things just bi too complicated....

Good lord.
Read text again please.

There doesn't seem to be many indy mods here so here are a few suggestions:

Navigation computer/scripts
- increase warp speed (much like the implants)
- warp to 0 autopilot
- warp to fleet members in different systems (if I'm not mistaken, you can only warp to in the same system)
- Cargo pickup/drop off script. Ship flys to specified station, picks up or drops off cargo into items bay, then waits for next command.

These could be scripts that are loaded into the ship's computer via a one slot opening in any ship (i.e. add a script slot into fitting panel.)


Mining mods
- capital ship refinery. slow, high PG, but will refine ore depending on the pilot's refining skills
- mining barge/exhumer refinery (those flames on the side should represent something actually happening on the ship) This could be even slower than the Orca/Roq refinery and with more loss.


Invention
- some have mentioned dual resist shields/armor. What about custom resist mods based on invention through blending of multiple BPCs and/meta goods?


I'm sure some of these would be abused/or are already in some bot programs. But we are dealing in an age that computers are supposed to make work less repetative...why do we need to do these things manually?

t2 capital guns n ammo would be nice...

Projected Heat Reduction

Reduced Heat from overloaded modules.

Projected Module Repair

Repairs any damaged modules that are currently not active.

1. Just shoot them and use a shield booster
2. How about you just use a gun instead of a worthless module


Buy CCP some supercomputers, then we'll talk about horribly laggy things like this.

No. Snipers + Ewar dictors = victory


How is this useful in any way

And then everyone in the 500 man drake blob fits this module, and it takes three times as long to kill them.

You don't seem to understand the point of the thread. It's not to shoot down other player's ideas that you don't like. It's to crowd-source new module ideas. The devs are fully capable of determining which is viable and which isn't.


- Shield boosters take midslots, vamps and neuts go in high slots
- A gun and a shield booster take 2 slots, a vamp or neut take 1 slot
- If the passive regen is more than my guns, I will never be able to beat it. Being able to modify the passive regen capability might allow a smaller ship to break a passive shield tank, or even use a Drake's passive tank against it.


Personally, I'd fit a few to my hulk when mining in high sec. Or an indy when hauling. Or anything I'm moving and I don't want to be destroyed easily, but has poor fitting capabilities.


You might want to read that again. If everyone in a drake blob took the module, one ship would be invulnerable AND DISABLED for 5-10s. After the module finished, they'd have to relock, but have no cap left for their hardners or jumping out. Plus they'd be flying down a mid slot.
