Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Why dont you fix them?

Also going back to edit all of my ideas to be a bit more.... Clear and uniform I guess before I start my next round of ideas.

Ah but using the elements of WWII and placing different names and changing things slightly, Will give it depth and make it more of a part of the actual game vs a mini game

1) Give all Gallente gun boats a web range bonus as the second bonus and remove one of the actual two

2) A "Ping" module for the Interdictors that allows them to detect (not decloak) cloaked ships within directional range and then warp to this location. --> only not moving ships can be easily killed this way

3) A "siege module" for dreads that allows them to cause area damage (low damage) as a counter for blobs

4) A drone dmg module

5) Anti Capital + Super Capital Bombs for bombers (focused damage instead of area damage). Obvously such bombs should be useless against sub-capitals

6) Cover Ops bubbler/ tackler that can tackle supercaps. (allows easier ganking of lone supercapitals, and we have too many of those)

7) Scripts for the webifyer module. One for range and one for strength.

I havent sat down to do notes yet. It could be buffed much more than 25% but I felt that granting 50% back would be a bit too much and I am leaving room for skills to effect this module.

What if there was an Emergy Systems skill that increases effectiveness and reduces damage done by them as is the theme with all Emergency Systems I've suggested so far?

Chain effects

High end chaining remote repair effects. They would repair another nearby damaged ship (smart selectrion) after the target, with reduced effect. Like a chain heal spell from another famous MMO. Wouldn't bounce from undamaged primary targets to avoid exploits.

Same thing for high end EWAR. (There already is AoE EWAR in game, so why not ?)

Deployable Terrain

Deployable grid sized WH/Incursion effects for a new class of capitals.

Deployable (stationary) cloaking fields. From afar, you could only (but easily) detect that there is a field, not what's inside. Shouldn't be big enough to hide medium POSes and bigger objects. Could be a nice for small POSes in dangerous areas.

Deployable deadspace (incoming warp and MWD don't work inside, but you could still warp out)

Deployable light sources (people will find a use for it)

Deployable warp beacons which will appear on overview systemwide. This could also be a nice thing for distress calls.

Deployable drone scrambling fields in which drone control range is reduced and drone MWDs don't work.

Deployable gravity wells (technical limitations ?). Deployable inverted gravity wells ?

If there was a line of sight system, there would be infinite possibilities. But since there isn't, I won't iterate on those.

Thanks for looking.

Cloak Hunter
Cruiser Class Ship

This ship would be similar to a Heavy Interdictor but for de-cloaking "local" ships, with max skills one could "ping" and hutn down ships within a certain "AU" to the hunter.

Can Fit Following Modules / Scripts

*Cloak Ping (ping would utilize the "survey" skill and additional advanced survey skills to speed up return signal, and accuracy)

A module that can be fitted to a particular ship, to "ping" a certain area for cloaked ships.

*Cloak Destabilizer (Requires ship to "siege") -enter type of fuel & cycle time while in said siege mode-

Destabilizes the ability for ships to cloak within a certain range around the emitting ship.

*Cloak Disruptor (Requires ship to "siege") -enter type of fuel & cycle time while in said siege mode-

Disables a ships ability to cloak within a certain area around the emiting ship.

Local Space Time Ripper
Cruiser Class Ship

This ship would be a whole new class of ship, it would have the ability to launch a probe in the direction the user is facing/clicks. This probe would have a travel time and a range based on its selected ammo type and the users skills. Upon the probe reaching said spot, the ship could then lock onto the probe, and "open" a local warp tunnel that any ship in it's gang could utilize to warp to the probe. The ship itself would not be able to warp to the probe as it would be in a "siege" mode to keep the tunnel open.

Can fit the following modules / scripts

Tunnel Probe Launcher

Tunnel Probe (ammo) (would have various ammo types for different ranges)
IE 50km - 100km - 150km - 200km Tunnel Probes

Tunnel Lock Module (requires ship to enter siege mode to maintain the warp tunnel)

Drone Related

Nano Mites

These drones would be capable of damaging a ships modules, not the ship itself. IF a ship over-heated it's systems while these drones were on it, the damage would be intensified.
(an effective way to introduce sub system targeting / combat)

Nano Mite Drone Categories
Weapon Systems
Propulsion Systems
EWAR Systems
Shield Systems
Repair Systems
Sub Systems

Tech 3 Nano Mite Cruiser (to go along with the above)

This cruiser would have the ability to utilize the above nano mite drones in combat. This cruiser would be a cross platform ship, and could be introduced as a "sleeper" technology ship. Enabling a NEW branch of skill training to utilize the ship itself.

--

Tech 3 Battle Cruiser
Gang Support Battle Cruiser (limited offensive capabilities)

This ship could also be a "sleeper" technology discovery / engineered ship. It would have the ability to "protect" ships within a certain radius of it. By emitting a "damage reflection shield". This shield would disable the ability for those within to fire their weapons, however sub-systems such as repair systems would still be active, HOWEVER at a slight increase in capacitor due to the high energy emissions of the shield emitter. This shield would also require the battlecruiser to go into a "siege" mode, in which it would use a fuel from a limited fuel bay, more fuel would be consumed if the shield was taking damage, however the shield could take a large amount of "buffer" damage before breaking. Once the fuel/shield run out, the battlecruiser would not be able to re-siege for 5 minutes. It would also have to come out of siege mode to move which would take 60seconds. (new skills could manage all of these abilities)

Module Ideas

T3 Propulsion System (capable of loading scripts)
Scripts: "0-Max Speed Increase" || "Top Speed Increase" || "Transversal / Manuverbility Increase"
Each script would benefit a certain aspect, and withdraw from others

T3 Weapon Systems (capable of using sub system damaging ammo's - see drone nano mites above for ideas)

T1/T2 "ramming spikes"
Module would have to be activated, upon activation the faster a ship was moving into another targeted ship the more damage that could be done to the affected ship, as well as possibly halting both ships ability to move until the module deactivated.

Module would have a 30 second cycle time, and a delay in reactivation.

T1/T2 Repair Destabilizer
Module would have the ability to "disrupt" Repair devices on affected ship.

T1/T2 Local Burst Propulsion System (frigate / cruiser modules only)
Propulsion system that would "boost" a ship an increased distance, however after boosting the ships mass would be destabilized, increasing it's align time, decreasing mobility for several seconds, and not allowing activation of repair sub-systems within this time.. The device would have a cooldown/reactivation delay.

IE. A ship could effectively "burst" away from "direct" combat, but with the potential of being even more vulnerable than before.

T1/T2 Local Jump Drive (frigate / cruiser only)
Propulsion based system that would allow a ship to "lock on" to an object in local space, and after a spool up time, warp to it at increased speed. Spool up would be dependent on ship size.

IE A frigate could activate it's local jump drive, and after 15seconds warp at 2 or 3x the speed to an object.
(new skills could decrease this by 1 second per skill level, @ level 5 it could take 10seconds OR less/more based on game balancing)

T1/T2 Local Jump Drive Inhibitor (above)
Jams local jump drives

T1/T2 Scanner Beacon Intensifier
This module would allow fitted ship to activate the module, and any gang members utilizing scan probes would get an increased scan strength if scanning around this ship.
(this could be used in-conjunction with the above suggested Cloak Hunter as well)

Alternate Modules: Low Slot Module Warp Disruption and Webifier Units

New Warp Disruptor could have range of a scrambler and 1 point of disruption, but effect all ships in proximity to it, including the ship using it when activated.

New Webifier unit that has short range AOE like the disruptor above, but limited velocity penalties of 15-20% Also affects ship using it when activated.

Might be an interesting option for Shield fits which are usually gimped by fitting Warp Disruptors, Scramblers and Webifiers.

External Gun Pod

External Series
Pod Type
Self Destructive
Consumable Module
Weapon System

This Pod contains several preloaded gun platforms which attack all current targets of the host ship until they are emptied or destroyed. If host warps off or is destroy the guns as a group will continue to attack the current targets until they are exhausted or no more targets remain.

These guns do not benifit from gunnery skills or drone skills. They add a temporary boost to firepower or provide an option for a hit and runs.

Module is ejected and thus unfitted from the ship when activated, to use again one must get a replacment module and refit it.
Ejecting Module is considered a hostile act cannot immedialy redock or jump after doing so.

I'd take this idea one step further, and make it an anchorable device with it's own shields. Load it up once anchored with fuel, (Faction Isotopes and Stront.), and online it; then pop in your ammunition and set to attack aggressors. Basically, anyone who goes flashy to you gets shot at while you're on grid.

Do something against full cloaker, who bloked mining systems,

How : change the cloaking device, you should remove the auto reapeat effekt, same like the portal gen. Aktivate, 5 or 10 miniutes cloaky and than you have to but it back online,

That will live ppl a chance to fight against bomber s and stuff like that. Who ar permanent cloaked in the system.
Cause they are more afk as they are playing the game ..
