Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I'm sure some one else has had something like these up but my two cents.

Polarization Pulse Projector - one time use anchored item. Sends a system-wide pulse that disables the auto repeat of any active Cloaking Units before exploding for one cycle. Should be visible as a system wide structure while onlining to encourage ACTIVE cloakers to be ready for pulse and re-cloak immediately, while eliminating AFK cloaking in line with CCP's "Be at the keyboard" mantra.

Item could be balanced as requiring a sizeable delivery method (ie Freighters to prevent ease of stockpiling), having exorbitant cost, etc.

Mobile Interdiction Inverter - Generates a bubble in which nullified ships cannot warp, but cancels the effect of any standard interdiction bubbles within it's predefined range (could be used as an offensive tool to eliminate bubble camps by non nullified ships)

To be fair, a good prober would catch anyone that cloaked with the non-covert cloaks. They have delays to recloak. On the other hand, I agree that afk cloaking should have a counter. I definitely disagree with the decloakers people are asking for that they want to use to get cloakies at gate camps. Would invalidate the whole point of cloaking.

Didn't read all the posts, so these may have already been posted.




Mobile Defense Station (Shoots attackers); could orbit Mobile Depot as add on.

Mobile Force Field, could also orbit Mobile Depot.


Pretty much what's available to POS now, but smaller and for the solo player.



Just some ways to make your Mobile depot a home away from home with a bit of protection.

I want a pet and it can't look like my (already own) drone pets.

Now that is a good idea..... a bit dangerous for the trader, but risk is reward.

A trader could put one in a system with no station and see if he can sell stuff.....or lose stuff..

Blueprint researching/copying structures like what others have mentioned would be nice, even if other people can attack them. Would be a risky thing to use, but much cheaper than a pos. Great for anyone that wants to get research done on cheap blueprints, but without waiting a month for a slot to open up. Expensive blueprints would obviously be better off in a station or pos for research, but no doubt someone would try it anyway.

That drug lab in the op post would be a great way to finally allow synthetic booster production in highsec. If synth boosters are allowed in highsec, we should be able to produce them there too. The ability to make stronger boosters in highsec might not be all that bad either, considering they'd be hard to move around because of customs, and there's always the chance of another player finding the lab and destroying it. And it would bring more focus to boosters, which is a feature that seems to hardly get any attention. Drug labs in a pos would likely be much safer, and maybe the new drug labs could be less efficient as well to keep them a bit more balanced with the pos ones. Even if they're restricted to lowsec and under, they'd still be a great addition.

Some kind of way to leave messages in space. I'm thinking something that could be used similar to how anchorable cans are used for advertisements, except that these could be a small object able to be anchored in 0.8 to 1.0 as well, and they wouldn't be limited to just the structure's name, they'd have an actual editable description or something similar. Like the other new mobile structures, they could give a suspect flag for attacking them. It might need something to keep people from just popping them whenever they see them, such as perhaps a 5 minute reinforced timer. It's obviously not long enough to be used the same way as reinforcement timers on other things, but it would prevent it from being 1-shotted, make it time consuming to destroy them every time you see one, but still keep it easy to destroy on an individual basis. Not a massively important thing, but still useful. It would have quite a few uses besides just advertisements in highsec as well, such as leaving notes at people pos's, or in wormholes. (highsec ads using these probably wouldn't last long anyway)

Similar to that but a bit off topic, the ability to drag and drop notes from the notepad into cargo, just like bookmarks, but the resulting item would use either the description or a new tab for the contents of the note. Another minor feature, not even relating to new structures, but it would still be great though. Keeping notes in my ships for people that loot my wrecks would be fun too

Shield Wall Generator
Needs at least 3 deployed units before it generates a shield in a triangular sheet spanned by the three modules. Anchoring another unit will add another triangular sheet spanned by the new unit and its two nearest neighbours. Range: 10ish km

Shields come with a variety of effects:

• Ewar blocker
• Spiderweb - a ship coming within 500m of the shield will experience a strong webifying effect
• Warp disrupt sheet - works like a stop bubble. Works against interceptors.
• Damage blocker: works only against one specific weapon system. T2 versions work against 2 systems.

Haven't read through everything already, so if this is a repeat....

I was thinking of a mobile Shielding mod, that would provide a temporary shield like a POS, with the similar prohibition of targeting in or out of it, as a way to give rorquals/orcas a measure of safety to be deployed in the belts/anoms, and allowing the prohibition of fleet links operating in POS shields. However, I cannot think of a good way to prevent abuse by supers/titans who get caught, unless the shield bubble is smaller than any super, yet larger than a rorqual.

Definitely need a mobile module that provides repair services like that of a station. Something that interacts in the same fashion, not something that remote reps ships/structures within range.

Super/Titan parking module. Can only be deployed by supercarriers and titans. When deployed, the pilot is immediately ejected in their pod and the ship is surrounded by an impervious field. The ship cannot be harmed, but nor does it 'log out'. It remains in space until the owning pilot returns and deactivates the field, whereupon they can board the ship. Give it a max duration of some days if desired. The idea is to be able to give super/titan pilots the ability to leave their ships in relative safety and do something with the characters, without having to resort to the use of holding characters. Nothing prevents others from camping/bubble caging the ship (at least in null), so it is not as safe as just logging off. Oh, and cannot be used if the pilot has an aggression timer of any sort.

I would like to see a booby trap structure. Basically you setup the structure in lowsec, at a gate camp or in a belt.
When someone approaches it and tries to activate the structure to access loot, it disables their ship for 15 minutes. They are sitting ducks until the timer runs out.

I would like to see a mobile structure that can cloak or at least jams dscan and probes.

I would like to see a mobile RADAR structure that gives boosts to range or other attributes.

Mobile Deadspace Projector: projects a deadspace field approximately 200km diameter which causes ships warping to any point inside the field to instead terminate their warp on the edge of the field. Warp can be initiated normally from within the field. Consumable, lasts 1 hour, stats similar to mobile warp disruptor bubbles.

Mobile Quiescence Enhancement Engine: projects a field approximately 50km diameter which halves the signal strength of any object on grid with the projector. Consumable, lasts 20 minutes, similar stats to mobile warp disruptor bubbles.

Similar modules could be provided for POSes, requiring PG, CPU, capacitor, or whatever, but providing permanent benefits with greater power.
