Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Worthless NPC alt opinion.

i for one am looking foward to the new modules, they are both counter-able just by taking them out the scan inhib is apparently incredibly easy to scan down, and you will still know how many reds are in system, wormholes are pretty much unchanged apart from the fact if you see a inhib on D-scan you know enemies are in system pretty much just like you did before just not an exact number and most folks run at the sight of one person in system and the inhib is easy to go and check out.

Someones already said that they are actually very difficult to probe down.

How is something that requries a nullified ship easy to check out?

Who are these "most folks" that run at the sight of one person? Do you mean ratters? The very people that would be using these to hide themselves from the occasional one person who turns up in local? Or do you mean people who are camping a bubble and are actively looking for people travelling through their systems alone?

What I'm really interested in is: Can MSI's be deployed on different grids but with in 30km of each other?

What will be the price of these things?

Frankly a cyno jammer is no use to me at the current prices and reserved for the 0.0 alliances.

And what does this really do for CCP's long term goal of getting rid of Local for intel gain?

Damn....

cant be deployed to cover a starbase.... / pos..... it would have opened up some interesting tactics for wormhole invading! and well any system invading. CLOAK THE TOWER..... (close enough anyway)

MSI will be very easy to abuse of if they don't have a more severe drawback, like showing in overview. Pushing D-scan every 3 seconds already is a pain in the ass enough just to know if there is anything around in a 14au radius. And it is also pretty obvious that they will only be scanned by combat probes, which just a minority of ships can use. And there is also the problem of spamming several of them...

About the MMJD, let's just say I'd rather see MJD modules of all sizes instead of something like that.

I guess the jump thing has it's uses, even though shooting freighters into Large Collideble Objects is the only thing i can come up with.

As for the scan thing I think it's a bit one sided right now there should be a drawback to sitting within, like disabling Lolcal.

These two structures seems quite good in my opinion, but I have to agree with this one. This needs tweaking.

Let me offer a few :

1- After the use of a MJU, you cannot initiate warp for the next 10 seconds. This way a good interceptor is able to see where you'll land, follow you, and catch you. In its current iteration, even a very clever and reactive interceptor pilot couldn't do anything if you insta warp after the MJU jump.

2- Also something fun : The MJU could send people by "waves", meaning that if you activate it to follow your target that activated it 4 seconds later, you both get teleported 12 seconds after the first ship initiated the jump. Maybe not fesible code-wise, but would be cool. 1 would certainly resove most of the current issues that I see with the MJU though.

3- Increase anchor time to 60 seconds ?... Meh, not fun in my opinion. It takes away some strategic, "on the fly" uses. This might resolve some issues (and not even all of them) at the cost of a lot of situations.

Edit - Mobile Scan Inhibitor part :


Why not allowing people to cloak towers ? It's not like if towers weren't on specified locations anyway. And this structure only stays for two hours, nothing OP here, you cannot perma-cloak a tower without putting a tangible amount of effort in it. And warping to it at 100 would still be possible, at opposed to the combo MSI + Bubble. So that's way less OP. (I'm not against this combo btw, but imo the mobile warp disruptor should still be visible on the Dscan even if you cannot warp to it.)

Also this deployable lacks a penalty for the people sitting in it. There is litteraly no risk involved since they can still see who is coming their way. At least if you needed to be outside the field to use the D-scan, this would require the help of a cloaked player or something.

Because woudl be hard to see in probign map if the unit is in a grid near the moon or in the moon. And if it in the moon you might warp into a death star.

Its a too powerful trap.
