MWD that runs on cap booster charges.

Provides the same speed boost a regular MWD does, but only whilst charges remain. Is not deactivated by warp scramblers. Once it runs out of charges, it will either deactivate completely, or provide the speed boost of an equivalent meta level afterburner whilst still incurring the MWD signature penalty.

Could start out as a 1MN-only item to make interceptors more relevant, then eventually proceed up the size scale.

The ship hull defines the low-mid-high. and then ccp "balances" it. So by the ship hull, I mean the hull that CCP envisions.
CPU and PG are also defined by the hull. Change these things and you change the ship hull itself. Some rigs and modules do affect CPU and PG, true, but none affect slots except in T3s, which are designed by their very nature to be modular enough to change their hull to have different slot configurations.
So I guess I am asking: Are you wanting more T3s?

and carriers. I think that he meant to say "A sub cap ship that allows sub caps to refit in space."

Thought it said Bacon Launcher at first and got excited. That would be a good gift item sometime though.

anchor module. we were flying ships after all. if you can anchor a can, why not ship with a module? just a low slot and make it similar rules to the GSC, but 10,000 instead of 500 for nearest in-space object.

I would like to see a module that could modify the damage caused by turrets not significantly but enough to make difference. You could call this module "the crit module". That either would cause increased damage to target on single hit, or hit random module within target.

Precision targetting module
Automated turret target coordinator that target key elements within target. Causing damage to key components.

Attributes:
Ability to hit critical sub system (this could occur as increased damage or as hit to random module in target)
Slight debuff in tracking and/or rate of fire
Med - active

Ok my new mod isnt really a new mod but making it worth training for it and using it.

I want a missile defense racial system and here is as i would do it.

3 "basic" skills:
missile penetration - adds 7.5% chance that the missile will penetrate the missile defense
racial anti-missile weapon system skill - increases hit probability by 15%
racial anti-missile weapon spec system skill - increases hit probability by 5%

Weapon Systems
Grapeshoot for gallente - range 2000m | rof = 0,395s
Flak for minmatar - range 4000m | rof = 0,790s
Laser Ring for amarr - range 7500m | rof = 1,481s
Defender for caldari - range 10000m | rof = 1,975s

Basic hit probability at all skill at 0 is 0%.
Stacked Systems will automatically try to hit as many targets as possible.
All Systems shoot at incoming missiles and ignore locked targets.

Weapons Platform
Destroyer with 8 slots for the proper weapon system.
The ship dependent boni will be 10% range increase and 10% rof increase per level.

I know my numbers will need a balancing but it should make my basic idea clear as missiles are the only weapon system in eve which can be intercepted.

EDIT: reworked the skills and weapon system because of a flaw in thinking ^^

I've been thinking about this one for awhile and not sure why they don't exist. We have low slot Tracking Enhancers and Medium slot Tracking computers. We have low slot damage modules ... Why are there no medium slot damage modules? This alone makes using shields in PVE 10x more viable than armor. Understand that currently Shield tanking ships have to sacrifice nothing in their mid slots for tanking. But an armor tanking ship usually sacrifices 1-3 slots for damage modules. This could also change the argument for armor tanking being different as they would then be able to plate fit without sacrificing their fire power.

Fighter Sentries - Affected by all drone modules, sentry and other drone skills, Fighter skill, and carrier bonuses. Stationary, but can warp to follow target or return to carrier if more than 100-150 km away. Follow the regular sentry model for range, tracking, and damage type scaled to the Fighter equivalent.

Dear CCP,

I've arrived to this thread late and unable to read back through 1700 posts so I apologise is this post contains something that has been written several times and discussed in detail before.

My suggestion would essentially be a change to the distribution of E-War across races should you implement an ability to “tracking disrupt” missiles.

Recap on the current arrangement with T1 E-War
Amarr: TD
Caldari: ECM
Gallente: SD
Minmatar: TP (oddball)

The TP is well-known to be unique amongst the classical T1 racial E-War in that whilst it is a very effective module, it is essentially a remote Weapon Upgrade rather Disruptive E-War like the other three modules. And that consequently, once you have 4 or 5 modules in the fleet (e.g. one bonused hull), there’s no particular need for more (other than redundancy, which applies to any hull). Whereas as a fleet grows in size, there’s no particular down side to retaining the same proportion of TD, ECM and SD hulls in the fleet.


Suggestion for after missile disruption is implemented if it is
Amarr: TD (same as currently)
Caldari: ECM
Gallente: SD
Minmatar: Missile Disruptor
TPs: moved to Weapon Upgrades category

Since I started out flying Minmatar ships I have a bit of a bias towards them on a sentimental level so that’s a declaration of interests I wish to make openly. I don’t feel like I have an agenda to boost Minmatar but others could think that and that is of course their right. It’s worth noting however that I’m not suggesting a level of power for a Missile Disruptor in this post and I don’t have any preconceptions about how powerful it should be relative to the other 3 Disruptive E-War modules.

Summary
Amarr: Left with the ability to disrupt the weapons of their two racial enemies.
Caldari: Left with the ability to jam ships such as of their faster racial enemies.
Gallente: Left with the ability to force longer-ranged racial enemies closer.
Minmatar: Loses oddball Weapon Upgrade and gains ability to disrupt racial enemy weapons.

This suggestion would raise questions about what to do at the T2 level and I suppose my thoughts would be that bonused TPs wouldn’t be needed on EAS/Recons either. It also raises the question of should there be bonused TPs and if so, how and/or what ships? One simple approach could be to introduce a TP strength and range rigs and leave TPs as non-racial.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this suggestion.

Edit: This suggestion partly rests on the assumption that T2 Amarr hulls will retain a line of Khanid missile ships.

Sparks
