Gravitron Disharmony Probe

Anchorable
Terrain Control
Counter Navitation

This anchorable emitter causes so much powergrid disruption during formation of a warpsphere the ship will take damage if it warps or activates a microwarp drives off within its range of effect.

crazy module and rig ideas:

*Macro citadel torpedo launcher + torps (fits on bomber only) useless vs anything sub cap but capital ships pos sov etc

*Large bomb same as normal bomb but takes up the whole bomb launcher:
*Large damage bombs does more damage but only to large targets, work on the basis of large sig radius 20km radius

*Large void bomb removes 25% of targets cap as opposed to a set amount (ie scales with size of cap and ship)

*Large lock breaker bomb - only works on caps but also works on caps immune to EW


*New charges for a new T2 interdiction probe launcher:

*Interdiction subspace charge - drops a probe that decloaks all cloaked ships (not including jump cloak within 30km
expended on launch

*Wormhole interdiction launcher - drops a probe that prevents the use of a wormhole (from the side it is placed) duration 30 seconds

*Nullspace charge - prevents probing of any ships within 20km - duration 30 seconds

*ECM mine - lockbreaking within 10km set off when any hostiles are within 10km, dormant duration 2 minutes

*Static mine - activated on non blue standing 9km proximity 10km web (30%) range- dormant duration 2 minutes active duration 30 seconds


*T2 HIC interdiction generator -
New scripts:
*T2 focused range 35km

*T2 Sector jump Interdiction script - Prevents capitals within 50km jumping out and prevents cynos being created within 50km

*T2 Singularity subspace scrambling script - 50% chance to shut down low sec gate for 30 seconds - cooldown of 15 minutes


*Low slot module, 3200mm plate 2x the hps for 2.1x the fitting

*Low slot module, hull bulkheads S M L Xlarge increases base hps as per plates but less effective (x0.9)

*Mid slot module, X Large shield extender 2x the hps for 2.1x the fitting

*High slot module, Nano bot emitter increase local and remote armour rep amount by 20%

*High slot module, shield boost emitter increase local and remote shield rep amount by 20%

*High slot module, Drone sensor augmentation (S , M , L) increase to drone (size of drone effected based on size of module) effectivity by 10% - high CPU cost

*S, M, L T3 heavy weapon systems - Plasma cannon - Flak cannon - MIRV launcher - Energy lance
Only as effective as vanilla T1 1.5x the fitting costs - short range only, only fire at end of cycle
10% Reduction in heat damage
Can use T3 charge:

*T3 Hybrid 'plasma' ammo 5% of damage bypasses shield increased damage to successive hits upto +125%
*T3 Hybrid 'blast' ammo 20% Damage AOE related to sig radius (S 2km, M 5km, L 7.5km) causes 5% heat damage

*T3 Projectile 'piercing' ammo 5% of damage bypasses armour increased damage to successive hits upto +125%
*T3 Projectile 'shrapnel' ammo 20% Damage AOE related to sig radius (S 2km, M 5km, L 7.5km) causes 5% heat damage

*T3 Launcher 'Brimstone' ammo 20% Damage AOE related to sig radius (S 2km, M 5km, L 7.5km) causes 5% heat damage

*T3 Laser 'Phased' ammo 5% of damage bypasses shield increased damage to successive hits upto +125%
*T3 Laser 'Void' ammo 10% Damage AOE related to sig radius (S 2km, M 5km, L 7.5km) causes 5% heat damage and 5% cap recharge reduction


*S, M, L T3 point defence systems - Forced plasma gun - Phalanx gun - Defender missile (not new... just now used for something useful!) - Multi facet pulse laser
Only as 1/2 a effective as vanilla T1 weapon 0.75x the fitting costs - short range only
*10% Reduction in heat damage
*10% Increased damage to drones and fighters
*25% Higher tracking
*25% Reduction in falloff and range


*Armour hardener rig - prevents armour piercing whilst active tank is in place

*Armour fortification rig - increases armour resists by 15% whilst active tank is in place

*Shield hardener rig - prevents shield piercing whilst active tank is in place

*Shield fortification rig - increases shield resists by 15% whilst active tanking is in place


T3 modification rigs, only one can be fitted at a time, increases any heat damage by 10%:
*T3 Hull enhancement rig - Removes mid slot for low slot, 27.5% reduction in cpu (linked to rig skill 5% reduction per level)

*T3 Bulkhead expansion rig - Removes low slot for mid slot, 27.5% reduction in PG (linked to rig skill 5% reduction per level)

*T3 Hardpoint reduction rig - Removes high slot for mid slot, 27.5% reduction in signal resolution (linked to rig skill 5% reduction per level)

*T3 Hardpoint rienforcement rig - Removes high slot for low slot, 27.5% reduction in signal resolution (linked to rig skill 5% reduction per level)

*T3 Thermic shielding rig - prevents external heat damage, reduces heat damage by 10%


No rig allows extra hardpoints for obvious reasons, cannot be fitted to any ships where it would increase a slot count beyond 8.

*S, M, L Hull energised adaptive nano reinforcement modules (non-active resists) low slot fit
less effective then energised adaptive nano armour resists but lower fitting costs

*Full range of hull rigs to support hull (hero!) tanking

Slot retro-fit.
- Damage control type of deal with just one possible per ship, if fitted in lowslot it opens up a midslot and vice-versa.
- Has extreme drawbacks, as in halving capacitor size, abnormally high fittings (not to high for frigs sake!), etc.
Caveat: Can't exceed 8 slots of any given type.

eWar modifier modules/rigs for TDs, Damps and TPs, similar to what is available for ECM.
Possibly also for neuts, webs and points but will likely have consequences that are too difficult to account for.

Blink-drive, aka. a proper micro-warp drive.
- Near instantaneous trans-location of ship (probably best if limited to specific hulls) at ranges 0-100km. Subject to all normal warp inhibitors.

In case gang-link mods are not made on-grid in near future:
- Command and Control Jamming module.
Blocks all (friendly and hostile alike) gang-link communications from off-grid.

Targeting link
Your ship and targeted ship share all targets
Any kind of ecm disables
Limit chain of links to 3 ships

I really missing only one module: An ID-Blocker!

Function: Makes it impossible to identify the ship type and pilot's name, even when targeted. The ship is not cloaked and can still identified on sight - just the board computer it not able to identify the type of ship or pilot. Only the signature radius or direct visual checking may give a hint what type of ship it is.

So if you targeting it - you don't know if it's a frigate, freighter, destroyer, cruiser, battleship or what ever - until you destroyed it ^^

Argos\Valiant\Odynere\Zande Drone

Drone
Multi-platform
Attack

This extremly large drone function almost as a second ship and is outfitted with a variety of tools and self repair optionts which comes at the cost of needing all uplinks from the host ship thus a non capitol ship can only deploy one of certain size. Any spare link helps boost the effectiveness of the ship if there was any to spare for its size but it may not be as target effective as the ones for appropirate sizes lacking certain tools.
For example smaller drones have the webifier and faster tracking guns, but the larger one would feature target avoidance more than to try to slow down the target.

edit page 2? how dare thay!
After much consideration Ill be keeping more of the modules I designed and keep them as bumping tools until then theyll stay on paper.

Move Shield Boosters and Shield Boost Amplifiers to Low Slot items.

Reasoning: This will help Shield fits that active tank to fit in more with PvP gameplay. They will be able to fit points and Webs, Tracking computers, and other useful Midslot modules.

New Module: Adaptive Shield Harmonizer: Passive Resistance module for shields. Covers all resistances. Midslot module. Reduces Capacitor requirements of Buffered and active shield fits. Also a shield PvP-centric module.

Move Capacitor Batteries to Lowslots. No reason these should be midslot modules. Will help with balance issues, and make them more useful.

edit:

Also, bring back mines. Make them specific to a certain hull, (maybe interdictors), and require on grid deployment and activation. Decloaking to activate necessary, and functioning in a fashion similar to a bomb.

Mines become jettisonable from specific hull with a mine launcher that has a 5km range and is directional like a Bomb Launcher; Anchoring is required once the mine is deployed, and only mines deployed in this fashion can be anchored. Same ship can detect mines and disable them with a Mine Dispersement Pulse Emitter.

The MDPE, based on Amarr weapons technology, emits an omnidirectional EM pulse out to 15 km with a min. 5 second cycle time between pulses. This EM pulse will disable any mines within range, including those deployed by the ship using the MDPE. Mines will automatically begin an unanchoring process and be shortly available for collection.

Any mines left anchored on grid when the deploying ship leaves, will automatically unanchor due to controlling factors no longer being present.

Activation range for deployed mines should be no more than 120km, and damage should be 3 km AoE with one of 4 possible damage types. Mines should require no less than 10m3 cargo space, and have a 2km radius of clearance for effective deployment.

Damage should be approx. 340. Damage obviously affects everything in range; including friendlies and the Mine deploying vessel if it happens to get caught in the blast radius. Signature radius and velocity should be applicable as they are with missiles.

I say should; but work with it as you will. It's just an idea. I like mines.

edit2:

Alternative Bomb Launcher. Less damage. Higher rate of deployment. Launches a number of smaller bombs up to 50 km.

Also, the mine deployment launcher above has a few flaws. I was thinking of detonation controlled by the pilot, but that may be hard to manage if the mines are visible as anchored devices and only have a 3km radius AoE. Basically, they would be super easy to avoid jumping in a system unless they were everywhere. In a Mobile Warp Disruptor or Interdiction Sphere they would be more useful of course.

Not 100% sure on that. Even station camping would be hard, as you would have to have a lot of mines to really have a good chance of getting someone. They have pretty low DPS as it is, but that is sort of intended to soften up targets rather than destroy them. Just thoughts anyhow.

..maybe a 5-10km AoE would be more practical, with a slightly higher damage. Either detonate all mines as one command, or right-click in overview or or specific window, (like drones have), to detonate. Another possibility is a UI button or module to trigger them. Possibly also auto-anchor when deployed if they don't have anything in the way. Perhaps a message when attempting to deploy, if deployment is not possible.

THIS. 95% THIS.

You wouldn't entirely need to eliminate racial jammers though. I think this would let smaller ships use ecm mods on their ships and be able to change racial type. Its just that the actual Racial would be stronger and you can't change the type.

As some potential ideas to explore for intel work:

1) Drop satalites in systems and use them to d-scan in systems remotely?

2) Remote camera drones/probes, allow a drone/probe to feedback visual information from a distance.

3) Scramble system communications, interupt d-scan integrity.

4) Mirage projection systems. Dummy ship representation.

5) Tracking Devices, ability to attach devices to ships to reveal its location, remotely.
