Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Here's one for corps & training newbies..

A deployable beacon - that spawns 1-5 npcs with no bounty, loot or salvage - but provides corp loyalty points.
Used for training purposes - can be dropped for corp only based on some role.
If the modular/T3 style of deployable was implemented - allow slots to determine type & role of npcs

I'm assuming at this point that linked deployables are basically POS 2.0 once all the various versions are introduced. Plonk down a Forcefield Deployable, a Sentry Gun Deployable, and a Corp Mobile Depot Deployable in the same place and link them together and you essentially have a POS in all but name without having to dive into unravelling decade old code that nobody currently working at CCP knows anything about any more.

personal depot with both an item hangar and ship hangar.

^^
They actually are developing a totally new code that is separate from POS code from what I ve heard in last feature preview on twitch. And all these mobile deployable structures will probly be used or tied to a modular POS.

I want a deployable Tholian web.

Also maybe a Mobile Structure that is a cyno, be nice to not also have to sit in a ship and wait to get taken out when one is doing a cyno.

I'm just looking for highsec PVP.. Interact with a Player Ghost site and instant suspect flag.. PVP time

Proposal: Mobile Medical Facility

Mobile Structure that gives Medical Facility operations and functions in-space to update / upgrade clone type, change stations, and create jump clones all from the confines of the cold, dark, and vast reaches of space.

Can be deployed in all bands of space to include wormholes.

Can accomodate the clone [and jump clone] inside the Mobile Medical Facility only if deployed inside Wormholes or hold SOV in Null Sec, otherwise, the player utilizing the station must assign his clone to a nearby Station or Outpost within a specific and fixed range, in AU. If SOV is lost the clones are not active or accessible until SOV is regained but able to transfer your clone [jump clone] if there is a station or outpost in range.

Players can use the Mobile Medical Facility to store and switch to their jump clones but only in Wormholes. For example, from High/Low/Null > Wormhole jump clones and vise-versa, but only to another jump clone.

Can only be used by members of the Corporation in which the Mobile Medical Facility launched this mobile structure.

The cost of Medical Facility operations will increase slightly due to the convenience this moble structure provides. Exact amount will defer judgement to CCP and the feedback of other players. Thinking of a penalty of 15% + the Corporation's effective Tax Rate %.

When members of the corporation use the Mobile Medical Facility a portion of the payment paid will be deposited directly to the Corporation Wallet in the amount of the effective coroporation Tax Rate %.
For example, current cost of changing clone's station + convenience penalty + Corporation Tax Rate % = Final Cost


One-Time Use: No

Scoopable: Yes

Cannot be deployed or scooped while in a active or pending War Dec but can be used at all times.

Destructable: Of Course, but should be relatively tough but not impossible for a small opposing fleet to destroy.

Special Reinforced Mode: Yes | No - Deferring judgement to CCP and the feedback of other players

Alliance-use: No, specific to one corporation while anchored in space but can be transfered to other corporations within the same alliance, similar to the transfer of POCO's.

Incorporates the same proximity limitations of mobile structures: cannot be too close to a gate, station, or starbase.

Minimum Distance from Gates, Stations, & Starbases: Thinking something like 25-50km, but defer judgement to CCP and the feedback of other players. Can also see a 1 - 2 AU minimum distance too that could give way to mobile weapons to automatically protect other moble structures that can use Fuel Blocks to power but in small amounts.


Benefits

Promotes Exploration and creates a permanent home for people to live in Wormholes and defend their space.

Provide Medical Facility to remote regions of space like wormholes and other areas where a Medical Facility is a good amount of jumps away.

Accommodates corporations that operate in areas of space where a NPC Station Medical Facility does not exist.

Makes systems that do not contain a NPC Station Medical Facility more appealing

Won't restrict players to a cluster of systems and will support players to spread out and explore the vast reaches of space.

Gives another way for Corporations to increase cash flow.

Co-Sponsor Proposal: Mobile Collection Point or Mobile Dispensary

I definitely like and second this idea of having a "vending machine" that you can deploy in all bands of space. Make them pubically avaliable so anyone can fly to it once they probe it down and purchase stuff. Also, I like the idea of having Charters for High Sec and using a small amount of Fuel Blocks to keep it Online. Or better yet, let the owner decide if they want to keep it hidden (only can find the structure by using probes or getting lucky) or make it pubically accessible. In order to buy anything from this "vending machine" mobile structure you have to be within 100km of the structure itself in space; that way customers are also vulnerable and is up to the owner to protect their customers.

They should also be destructable too so that an opposing force can destroy or hack this mobile structure to blow it up or steal the loot, respectively. That way it not only adds some danger elements to this but is a drawback from using a mobile structure. Also, make it a one-time use so that it is not scoopable but it lasts permanently, until its destroyed, or implodes / drifts away when the fuel is empty for over 24-48 hours....whichever comes first.

Also, they should have a Centralized Management Console (CMC) so that you can drag and drop items you want to sell and assign them to specifc mobile structures that you own, your corporation owns, or that your alliance owns. The backstory or lore could be explained by having slaves or robots that take the items from the source location (where the item resides at in station) to the destination (where the mobile structure is located at). Also, create new skills that allow longer distances to give remote access to manage these moble structures through the CMC, a skill that allows the owner to improve the hacking defenses of the mobile structure that are applied only upon launch / deployment of the structure, and maybe a skill that allows for more contracts a person, corporation, or alliance can create. Then you can deploy and link a specialized Depot to give fitting services to your customers at the Mobile "Vending Machine".

Should also be totally customizable so you can restock your supply from where you make your stuff or live at, set prices per item, restrict usage based on standings and security status, give discounts to other players based on editable list that you can get on if your added or meet certain objectives like spending x.xx amount of cash per month, link other owned of similar mobile structures together to create a vast trade network, and monitor online fuel time so you know when you need to fuel them that is all controlled and viewed through the use of the CMC.

Also, you could allow the owners of this mobile structure to setup Courier Contracts to request items, and Fuel Blocks, to be brought to the mobile structure which would revive the existance and purpose of Courier contracts.

Maybe even have it where people can donate / give items they have and get money back only if the owner has it setup to buy those items they are willing to buy (and defined price for each item) by dropping those items, similar to importing PI from customs offices, that way the owner can setup, if he/she wishes, to buy items from people but a customer cannot give any item and get money automatically. This information can be delegated in the CMS on a tab called "Collection" . By default, the "Collection" tab would not list any items that way the owner has to knowingly add items to this list but always remains optional.


The money can come from a linked wallet within the CMC: Personal Wallet (if Owned Individually) or Corporation Divisional Wallet (if Owned by a Corporation). Inside the CMC is where you would define which wallet is to be used and a section that can be enabled or disabled to define how much of the profits is to go to the Master Wallet of the Alliance Executor Corporation; the owner can then select if he/she wishes to share profits with their Alliance. The valid profit sharing range should be from 0% - 100%

Gate disruptor
Disabling all gates in a system for a day.
Only way to get in or out of that system is to use wormholes or destroy the disruptor.
Doubles the chance of having wormholes in system.
You need a probe launcher with probes to find it.

Disabeling system bountys
Up on anchoring it disables all bountys in a system for a day or when it is destroyed.
You need a probe launcher with probes to find it.

local inhibitor
disables the local chat in the system untill destroyed.
You need a probe launcher with probes to find it.

Can only swap clones at this facility no jumping from and to a clone.
Is to be used to swap clones with diferent implants.
Same amounts of uses like the jumpclones though.

remote camera unit
Very cheap thingy that only looks into one direction
