KAMAKAZI DRONES!

warp navigator module: when turned on your ship will follow your target into warp in the same corridor

Mid slot : Point defense module

the modules links to a highslot gun and makes this into an anti missile gun

being a midslot module, it can link to any type of gun in the high slots, small, medium, large, t1, t2, faction, etc etc

also the module itself comes in t1, t2 and faction, with accordingly levels of gun control

the module will probably require a skill to determine the procentile chance of hitting incoming missiles

do you mean for local active armour tanking?

Drone Love Module (name can change LOL)

High slot
When activated you can move drones from you cargohold to your dronebay while in space .
BUT
While the module is active you can't target nothing or launch any drones and you can't move.

WHYYYY? You will ask.
To make droneboats more viable in roams.
Everyone else can have lot of ammo in the cargohold, why we cant have a FEW drones more?

I would really, really, really love the equivalant of Tracking Enhancers and Dmg Mods for Smartbombs.

Low slot modules that increase range, reduces reactivation delay, increases damage etc.

TBH I'd love a ship built around the smartbomb weapon system.

I am liking the idea of some kind of mines; Lowsec/Nullsec area denial tools.

Sized for Cruisers, Battleships and Above. Racial damage variants and small, medium and large for Cruisers, Battleship and Capital Ships.

Smart and Dumb variants for denying reds and/or neutrals or for general area denial respectively. (Targets only reds and/or whites; targets anything that comes within range after the laying ship drops them). Will not target or decloak for rats.

Cloaked and only de-cloak when someone gets close enough to de-cloak them; say 10 KM. On de-cloaking they will attempt to make contact with the ship that entered their field and explode, should take off about 50% of default shields as a rough damage estimate. Improperly sized mines may do less damage to improperly sized targets.

Offer a module on destroyers and frigates to find and sweep mines. Destroyers and frigates will not set off mines but may de-cloak them by presence.

Should be fairly cheap but unreliable tools.

Cloaking Field generator.
A high Slot module with fairly high CPU cost. Only able to be fitted to Black Ops ships but gives those ships a bit more utility. When activated this module cloaks other ships in the vicinity (though they require the apropriate module fitted to make use of it. Requires the skill Cloaking Field Generation; the prerequisite of this skill is Cloaking V (or maybe just IV) and each level in this skill increases the radius of the cloaking field. Can be kept active during warp


Remote Cloak Receiver. Fittable to any ship and functions just like a regular cloaking device when active, but can only be activated when inside a cloaking field generated by someone in your fleet (I am actually thinking it should require the Cloaking Field Gen ship to be set as the Squad Booster) ; it requires Cloaking IV (or maybe V) to use. The trade-off is massively decreased penalties compared to regular cloaking devices. It is able to remain active during warp as long as the ship warped with the accompanying Cloaking Field Generator


Essentially Black Ops will allow regular ships to warp while cloaked; the downside is the black Ops itself still can't warped cloaked and you have to form up before hand for it to work, so you can;t stay invisible the entire time from gate to gate due the distance the gates drop each person from each other and the need for all the ships to be aligned before warp. If used properly, it can let you get the drop on somebody, but using it well requires some skill and attention by everyone involved.

Another possibility is having a T2 version of the Remote Cloak Receiver allow normal ships to use covert jump portals (or maybe have that as a separate module or rig)

it is a bit odd you can't tell your own drone to repair your own ship

Drone Control Unit II, which requires Adv. Drone Interfacing level 5, to give a 10% bonus to hp and dps of drones while active.
