Think this through before dismissing it simply because I'm a goon. The range, cooldown, charge time, and whatever can all be decided later, all we're talking about in this thread is the concept of BONAR. What do you have with a Black Ops battleship? You have an 800m isk hull which is about as effective in combat as a tech 1, 100m isk battleship, and will require more expensive fittings. For the extra three quarters of a billion isk you can slowboat faster cloaked, and use the covert portal generator. Obviously this isn't worth the increased cost. What do you consider the role of a blops bs? To be the flagship of a cloaking gang? A big slow battleship that can't warp cloaked just doesn't fit in with a recon gang. It does need an entirely new role.
Obviously any new mod that would potentially disable a cloaking device would have serious implications. This type of mod needs to have limits. Putting this type of module on a cheap disposable ship like a T2 frigate would make them ubiquitous. Putting the mod on an expensive T2 battleship keeps the module rare while giving a unique role to an otherwise underpowered ship. We're talking about the broad concept here and not specific stats, so feel free to discuss other limitations such a mod should have, like what range it should have, skill req's, or cooldown time.

Putting a BONAR on any ship would be a huge boost to gate camps, particularly those with bubbles. They will become standard equipment for all camps, mostly eliminating the ability of even covert and recon ships to slip through.

We thought about this. Pringlescan suggested a firing time similar to a titan's DD, 10 seconds or whatever. And really do you honestly think a billion isk uninsurable T2 battleship is going to be standard equipment on gatecamps? God I hope so. Baiting and setting traps to kill such an expensive ship would be awesome.

Originally by: Zastrow J Obviously this isn't worth the increased cost.
Cost arguments in Eve are problematic at best. The game continually generates ISK and characters live forever. Large corps are turning out Titans on a weekly basis.
The only true metric of whether or not something is useful or correctly valued is whether or not people use it. BO adoption is low but slowly growing. The ship has the correct feature set. It needs simple additions to support it's role: Fuel bay, etc...
BONAR is a new role for a new ship.

I'm afraid that from that point on every gang would be expected to have 6 of the BONARs to fire them repeatedly, kinda like the anti-tackle DDD on standby to rescue other titans. Besides it's a counter for cloaked campers which is impossible to counter. Sorry, nice idea but can't support it. ---

the current usage and current price is not a good enough reason to put a mod like this on a ship like that.
sure even the hint that ccp would allow you to put a titan dd on it for the next patch and you'll see every last BOBS sold in under and hour. doesn't mean its a good idea to allow them to have titan dd fitted to them.

Not supported. I have several characters that fly nothing but covert ops and recons, and while I spend the majority of the time watching my screen, and while the OP suggested the sonar to have a limited range.. sure I could warp to a SS and stay cloaked and be 'safe'. I still don't like the idea of having a tool to de-cloak ships, in general, at all.
Perma-cloaking isn't godmode. It has counter-measures, and recons are squishy. It's main strength is the harrassment-tool it brings; i.e. just sitting there for hours, disturbing people.
If something anti-cloaky needs to be introduced, it should go towards non-covert ops ships (minus supercaps, who'd fly supercaps but huge alliances if they had to hug a POS nonstop). Not something that strikes cloaking overall.
Not supported. - I'd tell you why but then I'll have to kill you. And to kill you I'd have to log in. And to log in I'd have to stop browsing these forums. Both you and me knows that'll never happen. |

remove the cynosural field lvl 5 req for covert cyno field generator(lvl 4 will be fine) and boost the cpu and pg of BO ships...pheraps give em some EW bonus like recon ships and cover ops cloaking....

Edited by: Mara Rinn on 04/06/2009 05:19:08 Excellent idea!
Put up large warp disruption fields all over the gate, have a couple of black ops BONAR ships around, and there's absolutely no way anyone is getting through that gate camp.
Brilliant!
But foolish, as this will reduce territory warfare in nullsec down to gatecamps. POS bashing would just be cleanup work.

Yes, because nobody fits a Microwarpdrive in 0.0. If you go with the idea that the module has to take some time to spool up, I don't see any reason why any COCD equipped ships shouldn't escape from that so called un-passable camp. Hell, non COCD ships using standard cloaks should be able to also. Personally, I think it'd be ****in great to come up on a gang of Black Ops BS on a gate surrounded by a bunch of bubbles, like in the scenario you suggest. That'd be an awful expensive camp to lose.

Decloaking Burst Sounds Awesome to me, although it would require a lot of work on CCP's part as they've previously stated when a ship is cloaked in the eve engine it basically doesn't exist until something hits it. So maybe some sort of way to use this module to trigger the automatic decloak from objects.
Also the BONAR, is a little more tactical, due to not wanting to decloak your own forces with it. But it wouldn't be too hard to use 2 BO's one with Bonar and BO Cyno, other with the bridge and stealth bombers next door.
But does sound promising, I'd use one just to hunt those cloaking ratters all over 0.0, you know the ones that cloak in the belt just as you land and ur not sure if they are to the left or slightly up or... DAMMMIT!!!!

If it can't catch cloaky ships at a gate, how exactly would it be useful? I don't like this idea because it seems that either it instantly kills the utility of COCD ships or its a useless gimmick.

No we don't need decloaking. Cloaking is one of the only legitimate anti-blob tactics.

Who said that it can't at least aid in catching cloaked ships? |

although i like the idea of this module, i do not think it is needed to reinvent the Black Ops.
Black Ops has great potential, just needs more buffing from ccp to be truly effective.
However, the module is a good idea. Perhaps a chance for a t2 tier 2 Battlecruiser?

I would lower the radius to 20 km and have it not be able to decloak gate cloaks. |

The gate cloak thing wouldn't help at all. Just wait for the cov ops to leave gate cloak, enter their own cloak, then decloak them as they slow-boat out of the bubble and they all die. ~ Santiago Fahahrri Galactic Geographic |

No, that meant to save you from lag death or give you time to look what is around you. I want to see mine death, not to wake up in station, knowing nothing.

I think that if it's implemented, we could assume that it won't affect gate cloaks weather we want it to or not. |
