Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Mobile Mining Depot: similar in function to mobile depot, only does mining jobs such as remote processing of ore.
it has 1500 cargo bay, and a 20,000 ore bay, it also has an reprocessing array which owning capsuleer/corp/alliance sets tax rate similar to POCO's which uses a modified fitting "service" for said remote processing of ore.
15,000 hp. 15,000 shield. no resists. no reinforcement timer. automatic adjustable bounty on object [capsuleer/pilot] which destroys the mining depot. to represent a counter to attacking them and also to further employ bounty hunters.

i see mining bases for NPC's and wouldn't mind one for myself.

Mobile Corporate Clubhouse: make this a test for WiS and in station combat, a new way to play the game, new PVE/PVP elements, can be destroyed, causing occupants to auto warp back to their default station. can buy and sell contraband or illegal items there [which might not be allowed, example certain drugs/boosters] in empire space less than 0.6, and also a way for all our toons to interact in a Character [non ship] to character way.

can buy/sell contraband in empire space.
can interact with other capsuleers.
test for WiS gameplay mechanics.
new PVE/PVP arena.
new way to play EVE.

100k ehp 100k shield, no resists, has a buy sell of certain items [only items that Empire space deems illicit].

max 1 per player owned and/or named corporation.

i see the mini strip clubs, npc habitation, and the like and wonder what it'd be like to WiS. this could test that out.


Mobile Drone Assembly: functions to produce drones on the fly while mining, so you don't have to warp back to your hangar. only produces light and medium T1 scout [combat] drones. decays if abandoned for 1 day. has similar features as Mobile Depot, only fitting or storage for drones, and/or materials needed to manufacture them.

Mobile Asteroid Base: same function as Mobile Depot, though it anchors to a asteroid [large non destructible object]. allows WiS type of deal, though only has one or two rooms and one has room with a window, the other Aurum bought decorations.


i don't know i am running out of idea's and am sure i am just repeating what others have said.

I really like the smokescreen / mobile dscan inhibitor concept, but, the current implementation doesnt seem to provide enough benefit for the cost. Please consider changing it to be permanent/reusable like tractors or bubbles. I would use them frequently if that change were made.

I haven't read the thread cause it's crazy long so this may have been suggested, but here's my dumb little idea:


Deployable DD cannons:

• Slow online time (hours).
• Require racial isotopes to fire, and have a limited fuel bay so they could only fire a few times before needing refueling (maybe 1 to 3 times?)
• Like titans, once they have fired they cannot again for 10 minutes, and cannot be refueled while on this cooldown.
• Do not fire on their own; must have a pilot take control and use them.
• Requires Anchoring V to anchor.
• Requires DD Operation I and Starbase Defense Management I to use and these skills would determine the damage (+10%/level), and scan resolution (+40%/level) respectively. The pilot must be and stay within 10km to take control of the DDD.
• Cannot be anchored w/in 250km of a POS, stargate, other celestial. Cannot be closer than Xkm to another Deployable DD? No idea what would be fair as I'd like to see multiples able to overlap an area, but not so many that it rains death on all the things.
• Not anchorable in Empire.
• Pretty weak in that while the HP and resistances would be decently high (perhaps half of a vanilla small control tower's EHP?), but they'd have no reinforcement timer.

pos fuel siphon

Mobile Mining Unit

50m3 when not deployed

25km range, mines nearest asteroid in belt, 30km3 ore hold, t1 version has 1k per minute yield per cycle and 3 minutes base cycle (reduced by deployer's skillz and implants, also benefits from fleet boosts), t2 version has 1.5k per minute yield per cycle and autoejects cargo if full at maximum cannister capacity. Extensive skilling needed. Probably already suggested.

t2 version of siphon which cannot be seen on d-scan (recent changes of hacs makes this technology possible ;))

A vending machine would be AMAZING, but can we also have an ability to defend it then? Mobile defense platforms that has similar effects as other mobile structures, only make it so that you can't just flood an area with them. If more then... Lets say 4 mobile defense platforms are located within 1km of each other all other mobile defense platforms added after that four will turn off. Due to targeting feed back errors. Just a small idea.

Pirate Mobile bases / depot

Key feature:

Pirate mobile base deployed in low sec, improves low sec to provide increased chance for Navy npc's to kill (with loot)/ dog tags to collect etc. serves as a similar theme to null sec sov but different, a reward for being able to live and control a place in low sec system.

You may upgrade the mobile pirate depot to improve system effect but if you move it you lose the upgrade.

Restriction:

A player may only deploy if character is red skull / -10 etc.

System Scanning Unit

Deployable.
Shows up on D-scan.
Easily probed via combat probes.
Removes tedium of scanning systems and encourages player "interaction".
Skill potentially dictates how many you can have out at once.
Upon deployment begins scanning cosmic signatures in system. Takes roughly 3 minutes per signature. Does not need to be attended. Anyone can link with it within 3km while not cloaked. While linked, SSI will upload signature bookmarks into your personal bookmarks folder, 1 signature uploaded per 10 seconds. SSI can be scooped to cargo bay once it has uploaded all signatures. SSI is unable to scan particularly difficult signatures such as sleeper cache sites.

Local Chat inhibitor.

Any pilots within [whatever] radius of the deployable are blocked in local chat list.

- Shows up on DSCAN
- Can be probed down with combat probes
- Persists up to 2 days
