Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Sounds cool on paper, but can be very annoying, very unbalanced, and it would take alot of work to program.

I also wonder what happens if you dock. Do they eject the attacker and then pod him, and thus you get a free ship?

Charge Overdrive: Low slot, increases laser/hybrid damage at the expense of more capacitor use per shot. Balance it with a highly inefficient ratio, like 50% increase in damage for 400% capacitor use.

Flame away.

How about new module sets, just like implant sets. Each module from the set would have bonuses similar to faction modules but each module in the set would also give bonus to all other same type set modules that have been fitted to your ship. So getting all the modules from the set might make you stronger in some ways but there would limited amount of fits available depending on what module types a particular set contains. These could be T3 modules... each faction, empires and pirates, would have their own module set.

Brainstorming?

Remote core stabilizer

A logistic module that gives +1 to the target ship warp strength.

Nano-machine Armour Plates

Armour plates that Slowly repairs itself ( Gives less HP and a slight regeneration )

Emergency strontium field emmiter

Once the equipped ship receives lethal hull damage this module triggers releasing a strontium field, rendering the ship invulnerable to damage and electronic warfare for the next few seconds. The module overheats and burns in the process.

Nano Detectors Bomb

A bomb that once deployed explodes releasing nano-sensors like a dust cloud that reveals any cloacked ship that goes inside of it....

Drone AI controler

A module that allow to program drones behavior further, like staying on range, prioritization of targets, returning if damaged.

Drone automatic shield extender/ armor repairer

This module automatically transfers shield/Armour to all allied drones in range without having to lock on it. The amount of repair is fixed but distributed among the damaged drones.

Space-Time based weapons ( Possible Jove/Telockan weapon that does "True damage" ignore resistance.)
how should it works? Possible one of these?
1 - Generates a controlled Space-time distortion that is disrupted into the target direction scattering the molecules on its path.
2- Condensates space into a point and then fires it into target direction, expanding into contact like an explosion.
3 - A projectile that on contact with the target generates a fast unstable space distortion damaging it.

How should it looks? Something like a photon torpedo with WH effects. =D

OK heres one for your edification: Defensive Modules

The only mod/ammo that I have seen is the Defender missile. My idea is along the lines of point defense weapons system such as follows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-in_weapon_system

or this:
http://orbitalvector.com/Defenses/SANDCASTERS.htm

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(countermeasure) ( even going as far as disrupting webbers)

As far as implementing something like this use a system similar to the way rigs are fitted. The number of units fitted could be based upon size/tier/tech level of ship to be fitted or a ratio of total slots of said ship. Could be a useful item for haulers.miners to use.

The mods could come under the area of tank as well.

It could add another aspect to the game by making one think do I carry defense ammo or offensive (missile,shells,hybrid) ammo if one has a small cargo bay.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Covert drones/fighters

A drone that cloaks when not attacking to prevent being intercepted before attack...
( It will be useful on PVP and PVE )

Drone "jump" recall module. Instant recall a drone at range into orbit. It can use massive cap and have a serious cooldown.

Drone Resist Modifier module. Scripted to chose specific resists.

I have always wished that the game would tell us when we are taking damage, exactly what type of damage we are getting hit with, i.e. (Thermal/Kinetic/EM/Explosive obviously).

If it can't be implemented for everyone, maybe allow us to equip a module that would let us know what damage type. I always feel like the game immersion is reduced for me when I feel its necessary to go to the 'Wakka' site to see what type damage I need to set my tank for in the mission.

I would also like another tier seperate from highs/mids/lows/rig slots for convenience/utility items like this.

Covert Ops Ship scanner & Covert Ops Cargo scanner modules

• Can only be fittet on Blackops
• Can not be used in hisec
• Enables locking target when cloaked (only for the covert ops scan mods!)
• Can only be used when cloaked
• Decloaking will drop lock
• Max lock range: 3km-5km - has to be very close range (but longer than the decloaking range of course :)

Edit: Ive postet in the Tech & Research forum root as well. I guess i should have postet in here instead. Please delete if nessesary

Area of Effect

Deployable mine fields - works just like the ancorable drag bubble but dose damage if you try to move threw it.

only attachable to a new T2 destoryer a mine layers.
