A fun thing from an old game called Escape Velocity (and EV Nova) i STILL play to this day after 15+ years, were derelict vessels sitting around in space. They would either have random loot, start a mission arc, or be a trap set by pirates! I think it would be great fun if these were brought into the game on a limited basis to bring more immersion and content in to the game
So how these would work would be every once and awhile, a dead, burnt out husk of a cruiser would come floating in off-grid, very slowly by a gate. It would de-spawn after a number of hours when it goes off-grid, and the type of ship would be contingent on the NPCs that are prevalent or control the area.
Items the ships could contain would be:
-junk commodities and modules (most common)
-rescue survivors, gain a multi-part mission with unique storyline module and good isk payout
-t2 or faction bpc
-bpo
-faction loot
-trap beacon set by pirates; spawns a huge fleet of high-value pirate npcs (lowsec or nullsec only)
-ominous disposal mission containing corpses, biohazards, or drugs
-lethal bomb
The ship wrecks would drift at a fairly consistent speed, and spawn rate would be determined by player activity in the constellation. Lower activity would yield a high spawn rate, giving more dead areas a more ominous feel, as well as giving people an interesting thing to do if they're out by themselves wandering about. Multiple derelicts can span in a system, and amount has no bearing on what time during the new eden day it is. |

Could be fun. I don't know if I would do them past gates as a rule or not, maybe from time to time. Would need to be a bit careful to make sure it can't be another massive isk fountain, but worth enough to make people want to do them as well. Eh, I can't really see a particular reason why something that can add more content without really warping the game any should be bad. +1

Eh, I can't really see a particular reason why something that can add more content without really warping the game any should be bad. +1 Having them slowboat past gates for long periods of time is best because that's the best place for them to be found; by people transiting. Also, the bpo/faction bpc drop would have the lowest chance of dropping, and even in a dead-ass null constellation, you'd only see a few of them in the constellation on a gate, since the allocation is to the constellation as a whole based on its activity index, so while they'd slightly more common than clone soldiers, they would still be more rare than not
As for a deterrence (or a balance) the explosion from the lethal bomb would be large enough to instantly obliterate any frigate or destroyer, or severely cripple a tanked cruiser or bc. It would encompass about a 30km radius and engulf anyone inside of it. The pirate fleet spawn would be similar to what you'd see in a lvl 4 mission, so a lot of baddies showing up for your booty.
All in all, a risk like anything else to take in this game with the potential for worthwhile rewards. And yes, you could cargo scan them. |

Your idea should be possible with mission derelicts that would require a special module to scan and then extract modules from. |

Items the ships could contain would be:
-junk commodities and modules (most common) would be okay with that
-rescue survivors, gain a multi-part mission with unique storyline module and good isk payout okay if the a high isk reward have a hard mission
-t2 or faction bpc Nope
-bpo No
-faction loot No
-trap beacon set by pirates; spawns a huge fleet of high-value pirate npcs (lowsec or nullsec only) God no
-ominous disposal mission containing corpses, biohazards, or drugs No
-lethal bomb No
The first two would be okay

You might find some interesting relics regarding the Jove, Sleepers, and Drifters in those old derelict wrecks. |

1. Get your faction battleship. 2. Fit it blue 3. Warp to sun at 0 4. Eject
You have ghost ship, and tons of fun for other players.
1.Ship will travel at extreme speeds. 2.Slow down only when someone is on grid 3.Stay still when leave the grid
Guarantied hours of fun probing , and chasing it.
Capital Remote AID Rebalance
Way to solve important nullsec issue. CSM members do your work.

That sounds like a goons-only kind of event tho. |

Not thrilled by your idea of rewards involved to be honest but I do like the concept.
Edit: As long as it was implemented in such a way as it wasn't farmable.

I think these could be a cool addition to exploration personally, the rewards could be worked out by CCP. |

You know, seriously thinking about this a bit more...
It would be sort of neat if rogue drones/sleepers started doing something like this in order to catch capsuleers...
Setting traps... (keep you on your toes)

That would be amazing especially if you didn't know beforehand they were a trap |
