Angle of attack stabilizer.
makes your ship stable during bumping. 0.o So that it doesn't loose its angular stability when trying to warp off.
essentially a bumping countermeasure that insures intended direction of the ship, but not necessarily speed.

A fitting service module for the T3 cruisers. A ship that allows sub caps to refit in space.

Remove scripts as they are really cheap and they dont have t2. Instead remake modules a bit, and makes 3 modes for each module that used script. Example: Sensor dampener will have 3 modes: normal (like without script), only to target range reduction and only to resolution reduction.

Make so that in order to change mode you don't need to stop module, simply if mode changed the next cycle will start with new mode.

Make auto-targeting system actually AUTO-TARGET ships.

"chaff" launched from a probe launcher. X% chance that missile loses target (percentage is proportional to distance missile is when chaff is launched) . Let's make some use of those utility high slots!

Affects all missiles that are being launched at target.


% chance to miss at 0km = 0%, so not very effective against rockets

Potential Formula:
% Chance to miss = 100*(max(Distance Missile from Target/BASE RANGE - 1,1)

Rate of Fire: Unknown, CCP can figure this out.

Flack Ammo For Turrets:

Similar to defender missiles, but for turrets. Destroys incoming missiles by bursting flak in the path of the incoming missile.

Was thinking this could be AoE damage to destroy drones and small tackle craft as well, but that steps out of the role of defender missiles and makes smartbombs pointless. Also removes the usefulness of these in missions in hisec against jamming Guristas.

Also, buff defenders.

This may have been raised already (85 pages!) but i think a local, targetted cyno jammer would be a cool module to see.

Idea being that if you know somebody has a cyno, you can put the cyno jammer on them, and the cyno will either deactivate (unlikely to be the case), get blocked (fleet cant see beacon any more) or if its not on cant be activated at all.

It would have to be targetted, subject to the same timers / limitations that other targetted modules are (locking time, cap use, range etc) so its only real use would be as a counter to an obvious cyno bait ship, but i feel thats a part of the game that has no real counter and it would be useful.

If somebody needs to cyno they can just cyno elsewhere in system anyway but it just adds a bit more dimension to the whole hot-drop mechanic

Plus if you can decloak and cyno up fast enough its not going to affect you anyway.

As for range, cap use, requirements etc thats up to CCP but i would suggest its similar to a warp disruptor in requirements, range maybe not.

Maybe bonus the ceptors / recon ships for it as well (cap use, HICs get a range increase etc?)

Theoretically you could even introduce a mobile cyno jammer onto a HIC the same as the warp disruption field gen, again if somebody needs to cyno that bad and your blocking they can do it elsewhere in system, though im less keen on that idea....

Black Ops Cloaking Device - Allows black ops bs to warp cloaked. High slot.
Black Ops Cyno generator - Allows ships with covert cloak to create a covert cyno while cloaked. High slot.
Black Ops Bridge - Allows a black ops bs to create a bridge while cloaked and allows ships with covert cloak to jump through the bridge while cloaked. High slot. Ships can right-click on their own capacitor if they are close enough to the bridge in order to select the option to jump through the bridge while cloaked. The cloak remains on at the destination side of the bridge.
Mobile Super Cyno Jammer: The Mobile Super Cyno Jammer is an anchorable jammer which destabilizes the wormhole created to each cyno so that ships exceeding 1800 Gg mass may not pass through it and so that it collapses after 5000 Gg has passed through it; similar in characteristics of the largest known natural wormholes. May have a stronger effect on the much weaker covert cynos.
Covert Scan Probe: A Covert scan probe launcher launches covert scan probes on any ship fitted with a covert cloak and only works while the ship is cloaked. These covert probes may scan a cloaked ship, and appear on the overviews of all cloaked ships in the system. If the target decloaks, the probes continue to scan the ship due to the presence of the online covert cloak. For every minute that the target remains on a given grid, the scan signature increases in strength by 1% for that grid. If the ship warps away from a particular grid, the scan signature for that grid decreases by 1% for every minute that the target is away from that grid. If the target returns the a previous grid, then the scan signature for that grid begins to increase again until it gets to 100% stronger. The increase in the scan signature may be attributed to the residual covert cloak emmisions accumulating over time.

The cyno jammer module is very much needed as hotdrops do need some sort of counter,but I think it should be a area based module. You should be able to protect a small space in space from hotdrops. It should only be able to be fitted to Battlecrusiers or Battleship classes as it should take a considerable amount of power to use. It should require its on skillbook and have a base range of 20km and 50km with skill trained to level 5. It should work much like a cyno field in that it has a timer,but only a 5 min timer and the ship that has used it cannot move. Also it should work both ways as in no cyno can be lite inside the field,but also no ships inside the field can cyno out,effectively the cyno jammer field disrupts any type of wormhole inside its area of effect field. Now with this module you have countered a hotdrop,but only a hotdrop right on top of you. Even if the pilot has his skills for the cyno jammer field to level 5 a cyno can be lite outside the 50km range. Being that it prevents cynos out too there is still very much a chance of getting a capital ship tackle if one is inside the cyno jammer field. With this module now you will have real fun as the ships inside the cyno jammer field will have to protect the capital ships from being pointed while they either try to align to warp off or perpare to engage the other capital or sub capital ships that have landed just outside their jammer field. Also even if you don't happen to catch one of the capital ships inside the field before it warps off you will atleast get to kill the actual cyno jammer ship as it can't move. All this module does is prevent hotdrops from dropping right on top of you and give you some sort of reaction time. You really should be able to defend a small area in space from hotdrops. This module just really makes hotdrops that much more interesting. Imagine if you will a small corp of 52 members wants to do a POS bash in there system. They have 3 dreads and 3 carriers and a few support ships including a BS with a cyno jammer field module fitted. Now they have a small protected no cyno field of 50km. Word gets to one of the larger alliances that 6 capital ships are undock and doing a pos bash,they want them dead so they send in a cyno ship whom notices that they do indeed have up a cyno jammer field. he parks 52km from the cyno jammer ships uncloaks and lights his cyno,8 super carriers and 6 dreads and a number of support ships cyno in. The small corp with the 6 capital ships see this and start scrambling its support ships to engage their support ships so none of the caps get pointed. Doesn't this sound like much more fun than the hotdrop being right on top of them and they are instantly pointed? More likely then not the dreads will be in siege and can't move right away anyway. Just gives the smaller corps a small chance of surviving vs the 0% chance that exsist now.

I think that a script for ab's, and micros would be nice. Something that would reduce the effect of webs on them.

Lets face it the worst thing that can happen to you as a speed tank is to hear that web sound, or get that neut on you

Disadvantage increase cap requirement, or a slight decrees in base speed.
Advantage at least 25% reduction in web effect

Maybe a script for cap batteries to loose the cap increase amout, but in return increase the deflection amount back to the other ship. (allowing you at the frig lv to destabilize another ship with 1 cap battery, and at the cruiser lv maybe 2 or 3)

Disadvantage Less capacitor added on, and some cap per second used up.
Advantage Harder to make you unstable with neut's/vampires possibly even make other ship unstable when they use neut's.
