Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Personally, i want the notifications about the members leave/kicked be available to Personnel Manager and/or Director roles. This will make recruitment and newbies handling a bit easier. Right now i have to punch CEO every time i see pilots missing and it equires constant CEO attention on the matter besides other important stuff to do.

Please make our lives easier. Thank you!

Can you please add a option in contracts system so that you block a dishonest player from picking up your courier contracts and stealing them?

another little things to do:

ONE TYPE OF HARDPOINT FOR ALL WEAPONS
can you guys remove "turret" and "launcher" slots and replace them with one type of weapon slot with fixed visual hardpoint, able to fit both turrets and launchers?
well, prophecy(5/4/4), armageddon(7/5/5), rf typhoon(8/6/6) etc allready have such kind of high slots. which can fit both turret and launcher.
having 2 different weapon systems on the same ship may seem fun, but it isn't, as they are used in different ways.
at least those 3 ships are bonused for different weapons or can fin most slots with 1 type of weapon.
now look at that
poor arbitrator: 4 highs 2 turrets 2 launchers. (man needs to buy tech 2 version to fit 4 turrets *sick*)
poor stabber: 6 highs 4 turrets 2 launchers,
poor dragoon :6/3/3
both turret and launcher slots have amo supply chain and external hardpoint.
there is no difference between them.
it has to stop, really
another reason to make such slots is that player will have more freedom when hes fitting a ship,
especially the one bonused for tanking
talking about fixed visual hardpoint.. i tried to make golem to shoot missles like raven does, i tried hard, hut its not possible, because there is no launcher harpoint where it should be. also, i cant place missle launchers on the wings, but i can place tractor beams there. its just.. wrong.. and limiting my freedom in fitting a ship.
last reason.. for now.. is loki. after all that rebalancing (two weapon systems for each faction!!!) thing i cant fit it with more than 4 missle launchers. not to mention how ugly missle subsystem looks -_-


slotts.. one more thing abour slots..

GROUPING FOR ACTIVE MODULES
pls let us group active modules
after you guys made those fancy scripts
im having a bad time changing them in 2-3 tracking computers
sometimes i forget to do so and wasting amo
still, its not all about scripts.
imagine a player who wants to activate 4 warp scramblers on somebody
poor, poor keyboard.

talking about skripts...

MAKE SKRIPTS FOR TARGET PAINTERS (range/sig), ECM JAMMERS(range/ jam), (those are 2 ewar systems you guys missed somewhy) STASIS WEBIFIERS(range/speed), ENERGY NEUTRALISERS/ NOSFERATU(range/amount), and FOR SMARTBOMBS,YES (range/damage)
skripted painter could be used to kill small targets that are close to ship. close i mean closer than warp disruptor can reach.
not all ships have 50km disruptor range.
not all ships have 50km missle range.
on other side, some ships are shooting their missles 300km far, and best they can get from a target painter is silly faloff.

talking about modules..

LET SUBCAPITALS FIT CAPITAL-SIZED MODULES
cpu/pg usage of capital-sized modules are anough of rectriction. cruisers and bc's are using large modules. without any trobles. let battleships do the same.

also

LET BEAM LASERS SHOOT BEAMS INFINITE, lile strip miners do
right now they shoot once per cycle, then beam fades, then shoots again
that is not right, beam animation should not stop untill target dies
that is what real beam lasers do. they fry stuff to death

same should be done to amarrian sentry drones , minmatar autocannons and drones (exept bouncers, coz they are artilery, so they must shoot like artillery)

LET ROGUE DRONES AND SLEEPERS DROP THEIR GUNS IN LOOT
we all wonder what guns have laser animation while dealing omni damage

You can adjust map filters to see the different statistics for systems like players killed, podded recently or pilots number in the system. Another sec status would be pointless.

Suggestion: CONTRACT PRICE - It would be nice to be able to see the price on the contract in the contracts window when looking though my contracts, totaled at the bottom would be nice to. I looked around to see if you could add a column in there for it but it's not available.

Location: Middle tab of contracts window showing your own contracts finished, in progress or outstanding.

Keywords: contracts

Note: This is obviously not a game changer, just a nice to have.

Suggestions: Select Next Target should proceed left to right, top to bottom, not in the order in which targets were locked. By default you can use Alt+Right Arrow (Next target) and Alt+Left Arrow (previous target) to change which locked target is selected, but most of the time they are in reverse order of how they appear on screen. Alt+Right Arrow moves the selection to the LEFT and vice versa.

It would be better if "next" always went left to right (then wrapped around to the far left if you were on the rightmost target), and "previous" went the other way.

You can go top-to-bottom for folks that have their targets arranged vertically.

Location: Locked target list

keywords: target, locked, next, previous

UI:
Suggestion:
Add an anchor/unanchor timer to Mobile warp disruption bubbles similar to mobile structure deployables such as mobile depot.

Drones

drones warping with the contriller ship & auto - scoop when docking / jumping gate/brige
example,
if i cleared down the combat site and warped to another - my drones will warp with me, and they will land with me (not in front of me or after me) like players do during fleetwarp.
if i got pointed while aligning for warp - my drones will stay with me.
if i got disconnected - they will warp and come back into dronebay
if i jump into the gate/brige or dock - drones will return to dronebay (like scan probes are returning to cargo hold)

for drones in grid - adding state like "approaching" - when they are on their way to the target

activating auto-aggro when f pressed
fro example, if ship got jammed before i deployed drones - they will do nothing

replacing extra drone bandwith with extra damage/hp bonus (role one like gila has, maybe)
example
currently vexor can 238dps with 5 t2 hammers or 315dps with 2 ogres 2 hammers 1 hobgoblin 2s
but seeing heavy drones with their terrible tracking and speed on a cruiser is kind of strange
doubling its damage/hp per skill lvl bonus will pretty much fix this (316 with hammerhead II's )
and its not abour vexor, its about all drone ships with extra bandwith they are loosing lots of drone tracking and speed when they deploy heavy instead of medium drones

adding medium and light sentry drones. few reasons for it:
- there are no long range drones for gila/ chameleon and worm/wheeptail - they can't deploy even 1 sentry
- this could solve ishtar's problem instead of adding special bonus for sentries
- drone frigs dessies and cruisers will get better sentry tracking instead of huge optimal/faloff than can't use anyway.
all5 tristan can lock at 50km and shoot at 60km while warden II has 75km optimal range. not to mention than 40m sig frigate deployng 100m sig drone looks kind of weird.

adding all sizes of drones armed with missles reason:
- tacticks for using missles is a bit different from the one for turrets: its good when target orbits you (missles will hit faster), and its bad when target is approaching (damage application is worse because target is burning on full speed).
if both, ship and its drones, will use same weapon system, they will be much easier to manage.
- same ewar could be used to apply damage from ship's primary weapon and its drones

can you pls remove this freeze after drones killed target and before they go for next one? coz if warrior II is orbiting target at 900m/s and then instantly stops - it doesnt look like sci-fi space combat, more like a bug that nobody cares. not to mention that drone will instantly die. aslo imagine drones spreading in different directions from exploding target ^_^
same thing with npc's

adding a "drone support unit" for subcapitals.
right now i need to fit 4 officer drone damage amplifiers on all5 dominix to make augmented Ogres deal 1k dps.
and still there will be 6 unused turret slots
in same time, most of battleships (and some cruisers / bc's) are able to deal 1k dps with t2 fitting
so i suggest to add a passive highslot module that adds 10% to drone damage/hp, with no stacking.
it should have small, medium and large sizes (for small, med and heavy / sentry drones),
it should simply replace 1 turret (or 1 extra drone, deployed from.. that amazing old old carriers.. ) and will have cpu/pg requirements equal to 1 turret.
also, if this will happen, ppl will have something to fit in 1-2 empty high slots on turret ships

module(s?) that allows to repair sll of my drones in space, like "drone shield booster".

adding 4 more fighter-based Gecko-style 2.5x damage crazy speed heavy drones, able to be produced by players, like "limited dragonfly"

adding "drone control unit (reborn)" - passive highslot module that adds drone bandwith and dronebay: small(5mbit / 10m3), medium (10mbit / 20m3), large (25mbit / 50m3). using those will allow ships with small drone bandwith to deploy full flight of 5 drones (including fighter-based Gecko-style drones) . and yep, its another option for empty high slot.

adding lowslot module / rig that adds dronebay by the cost of ship's speed.


Structures

for all thosewho doesn't like dig upwell stuff and wants to build little city-in-space, like it is on POS

Mobile docks
small-size structure that will let criuser-size ships to dock / tether / repair
Visual - structure called"cargo rig" seen in combat anomaly "angel refuge" will do just fine

Mobile Ship hangar
small-size structure that will let to store criuser-size ships inside.
Visual - POS "ship hangar"
if deployed closer than 5km from Mobile docks - gives access to "ship angar" from inside Mobile docks.

Mobile itep hangar
small-size structure that will let to store items
Visual - "storage silo"


Modules

Docking module
lowslot module that will let one player ship to dock into another player ship
so frigs could dock into a cruiser, frigs and cruisers could dock into battleship and so on

Tethering module
lets larger ships (battleships and caps) to tether smaller ships untill larger ship is destroyed


General

- adding stat "mass" to all ingame items,
- "mass" of items in ship's cargo bay (or any other bays) affecting real ship mass

Add distance column for players added to the Watchlist.

Post describing the idea here, with some support.
