Player Features and Ideas Discussion

If its any consolation, I think you're a hilarious poster otherwise.

I'm going to bed, will downvote tomorrow.

Wait...damn it this isn't reddit. WTB dislike button CCP

I'll just post stupidly instead.

+1. at the cost of another slot. and probably some fitting reqs %s so the skill paired with it would be worth training up, unless it was just a jury rig skill (and the t2 rig could also require jury rigging lvl 5, making it actually worth training.)

CIWS Active defense

A module that fits in a high slot and acts as a 20mm defensive turret, shooting down enemy missiles, drones and even bombs.
By adding a short range on the CIWS it doesn't take all the damage away from a bomb, even if the bomb gets destroyed the ship will still be within it's blast radious.

50 CPU~
100 PG~
15 GJ~ per cycle (8s~)
This module suffers a extreme stacking penalty

Only 1 target can be shot down per cycle and the CIWS should be also have to take resistance into calculations meaning a drone won't be 1 shot by this system.

I don't know what the max drone orbiting range is but the CIWS systems max range should be the same.

Let's say the CIWS max range is 5km, Imagine a line of tracer rounds constantly being fired from your ship resulting in ammunition detonations around you

#2

Or ('Or' as in completely replace the first idea, not a second mode) you could have the CIWS fire high explosive rounds in a way that creates a bubble like effect of small explosions around the ship that eliminates incoming fire (only 10-15 percent of the incoming fire so technically the module reduces all incoming fire by 10-15 percent while the rest of it manages to get through the defensive barrier).

Ramming module or ship
A self destructive module that does large amounts of damage to the impacted ship.
Must have some limitations as a bump cruiser would suddenly become a superweapon if implemented wrong.

Decoy Ship

An Anchorable object that mimics a player's ship. On everyone's overview/scan it has the same pilot name, ship type, and ship name of the pilot/ship that anchored it.

Give it static HP and Signal strength (for scanning).

Single use.... once deployed, it lasts for ?60-120 minutes?, or until destroyed.

^^ A search revealed this idea has been proposed a few times already, albeit with additional requirements and/or limitations.

I very much like that idea as I always wanted Q-ships......

but to extend it a little....

- camouflage fails like cloak, if other ships are getting close
- ship scanner can reveal the real ship

and finally on the side of the Q-ship, a mod to detect if you are passive targeted

Well timed, this would be devastating in many situations... I would suggest restrictions to certain ship classes, module cycle times, and/or other limits.

I would love to see a rig that allows the player to extend the CPU of the ship. Its sad that there is a rig, and 3 types of low slot boosters for Powergrid but only one type of CPU bonus in the low slots.

Area of Effect: A tactical shield bubble. Be it a module for heavy interdictors, command ships, capitals, an anchorable structure or a new class of ship, I dunno. But I had the idea that a tactical shield bubble would add some diversity to PVP. Said shield would pop up similar to a heavy interdictor bubble and shield all those within.
Here's some ways it might work:
Lowsec/0.0/WH Only
A) X amount of damage to its HP before it disappears and cannot be reactivated for another number of minutes. Hp goes up with pilot skill.
B) A short burst of an invulnerable field that only goes up for <10s and cannot be re-used for another X minutes. Breaks locks on targets.
C) Anchorable structure like a warp bubble that can be shot down with about the same amount of HP. Favors the well-prepared and fortified who can run their logi's/ECM in and our of it until its blown up. Limitations on howmany how close to eachother or howmany on grid so that they dont have an endless chain of these.
D) Mod that uses up alot of stront and can be turned on/off immediately for an invulnerable shield. The max amount of stront the vessel can carry being maybe ~15 seconds worth of activation time, variable on skill. Cannot activate near other vessels with the same ability. Breaks target locks like a pos. Or doesn't break locks? Makes the vessel operating it fairly weak or slow.
E) Capital/super cap module that sends a bubble of shield to a locked target, immobilising them and rendering them intargetable while activated and shielding those within its range. Long activation/deactivation time so as to not be a menace in constantly thwarting fleet primaries, but for a few rare and special uses as a limited use tactical maneuver.

The uses for this are vast, the ways you could implement it are as well and these are just some of my guesses. All I really stick to though is that it'd be nice to have some kind of a tactical shield bubble implemented.

[Area of Effect: Some kind of ammo for turrets that is like our modern day Anti-air ammo which explodes at a certain range or on contact and has a small area of effect damage. In this case most likely with less damage than regular ammo and only safely useable in low-sec and 0.0
Uses?: Blobs of frigates, anti-drone, close-knit RR gangs, ???
Just a thought.

Area of Effect:Stasis webifier bomb, affects an area for X seconds. Get a half-dozen manti's in your fleet with these bombs and web an area like crazy for X seconds in an engagement. Possibly make them do damage to similar bombs to limit the amount and make the effect last less than a minute for sure. Less than half a minute even.


Module: A module for battleships that mimicks the siege module, to revolutionize highsec warfare. A damage increase at a tracking penalty and loss of movement and remote assistance for X minutes. I wont get into numbers.

Module: There are ECMs and ECCMs, Neuts and Cap boosters, Sensor Damps and Sensor Boosters, etc etc, but I feel like in terms of propulsion jamming there could be a bit more room for self-defense. At the expense of tank/offense ofcourse. Some module for your lows that reduces the effect of webs by ??% or a variant of the warp core stabilizer that also hurts your scan res and targeting range to an extent, but keeps you safe from a scram turning off your mwd but that may not necessarily give you any more warp core strength points. That or a rig? The system in place now is good I'd say, so I dont know how much room there is for this idea, it just seemed to co-incide with being able to fit to counter everything else. You can only put one AB on, but you can put on multiple cap boosters or sensor boosters, ECCM's etc. So it seems to me like you should be able to do a bit more for yourself to fight webs or even scrams possibly.
