Holoprojection Module I: your ship appears to be of a different model and fit to all observers both visually and on scans. The effect is canceled by any hostile action on your part.
So you can take your favorite PvP-fitted, expendable ship and make it look like an untanked, mining-optimized AFK Hulk. When the ganker comes along and targets you, SURPRISE!!
This ^^
However, like cloaks, whilst the 'illusion' is active you cannot activate any mods.
so you cannot have a hulk actively mining whilst appearing as a damnation/skiff/navy scorp
or a damnation boosting off grid whilst appearing as a venture

Perhaps you would only have the module buttons of the illusory ship, which of course can only mine illusory ore/ice that vanishes on contact with the cargo hold.

Since you're going to use this specific example, I would have to insist that if such a module/system did exist, it would also cease to function when you did something like activate links. The best way to balance a "holoprojection module" is to have it function like a cloak - you can roam around with it active but you can't actually activate any modules without disengaging it first.

Lol the first people that are going to wine about this are the miners who suddenly get killed when that newbro in the venture turns out to be a cat.
lets face it there are already ways to bait out a gank and trap them but miners never do it others do it sure but most miners would rather just mine

People sure do have a problem with hisec gankers lately... Especially since we have to read posts related to the same topic every single day. |

I actually like this suggestion. I mean with a few minor adjustments already pointed out, this idea could have some potential to it. |

Doubt it, alts (optionally recycled as not evading any security hits, just intel) in ventures are already the go to for warpins for the catalysts. |
