Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I would like modules that run off of Capuleer corpses for charges. They should be OP and have horrifying in game visual effects to the ship inspired by HP Lovecraft or John Carpenters The Thing.

Any ideas or thoughts? Maybe a Halloween treat?

Auxiliary structure Repair capable of restoring all HP in one cycle but leaves your hull smoldering.

An ECM burst that works and floods your targets audio screams with tormented screams for the cycle.

Active Drone Damage module that also adds infinite number of writhing tentacles to your drones or Ship module.

Why so serious? It's a bit of creativity and good fun. You have Halloween in your country?

I never defined what the length of one cycle would be. Would 5 minutes be balanced enough? Also notice that is an auxiliary module so it has a reload cool down. It could also use 90% of your Capacitor.

rogue repair drones that take player wrecks and ships with ejected pods in drone sites and fly them half-repped into functionality and start getting SP for any skills attached to functional modules (all of them at once, and fast) in the wreck, they don't despawn, they hunt players they've killed before, use any empty/destroyed module slots to build more of themselves using mats taken from other wrecks and infest others, they always have a repair beam that targets rogue drones and their zombie wrecks, and their skills don't stop at level 5

killing one and looting the wreck only nets you a "Warm, Wet, Partially Dismembered Corpse" that attracts these repair drones and gives you a set of three or four debuffs that rotate through a list randomly and activate their cycles every time you encounter the drones again; they turn into regular corpses at the end of the event. Oh, and no NPC station will allow these corpses to be moved into their holds or the holds of your inactive ships, switching your active ship will result in the special corpse(s) being moved to the new active vessel even if it displaces existing cargo or couldn't normally fit, and any you jettison will appear in the hold of your active ship when you come into a new system ("A dull thump in the cargo bay is accompanied by an automatic update to your manifest..."). Ejecting from the ship and fleeing in your pod is the only way to get rid of them, but then your ship also just became a drone zombie- and they need more corpses.

Better run.



inb4 some wiseguy gives them a fully functional titan to play with

for safety of the game they only come out during spooky holidays like Halloween and the Wild Hunt and disappear into the far reaches of drone site mazes (are those a thing even?) on the next new moon (random event duration every year, yay!)

I'd settle for a Corpse Launcher in the style of the Festival Launchers ...

Except instead of dealing damage or making sparkly effects, The target ship just sees a named corpse come flying at him at ludicrous speeds and then splats on his hull, leaving a bloodstain in a random location on the ship that needs to be cleaned off using the SKIN menu.

:D

It be funny if bodies were used in making implants

Axure, my only problem with your suggestions is that it isn't very grisly, it just treats corpses as yet another material- that's lame, IMO.

Interesting, but not horrific, what does the pilot lose by using this method of popping random holes all over the cluster

Congratulations, you came up with even worse ideas. You tried. None of those ideas accomplish anything or add any meaningful gameplay.

I could get behind a corpse launcher that does 0 damage, though. Perhaps even some blood-splatter decal for the target ship, until they dock and select a new "clean ship" option?

See? THAT is how you come up with something cosmetic and fun, and otherwise pointless, except to annoy people.

that cap % amount is stupid, you run a couple of reps and you wouldn't be able to use the proposed aux module because "insufficient cap"

and yes the others are right, if it can be abused it will be, even mittani said that. it would stop people from podding their alts or farming a gank squad op
