Keep Transformers out of eve plz.

Although Megan Fox is more than welcome.

Don't we already have shapeshifting ships? I think they're called Tech 3

What else would you call a ship class that can change appearance depending on subsystems?
I'd certainly call it a shapeshifter of sorts.

Just sayin'

EDIT:


We also already have a transformer - see Rorqual.

SIR! It's Megamaid! She has gone from suck, to blow!

T3s and the Rorqual are the closest we have to transforming ships. I don't think we need Voltron or Transformer style ships as the ones we design for EVE are made to fit a specific role. This would mostly be a graphical thing anyways cause you can quickly hop from one ship to another to meet your specific goals.

Although... A Battleship that transformed into an Interceptor would be pretty funny.....

Transformer not so much but would enjoy if ship engine nozzles can move as well as cargo/drone bay doors,windows reflection etc

As far as high slot module go i like it a lot and as i see it it would proly kill cloak as we know it today. let me wall-o-text here XD.

Active mimic module: T1 would clone your ship or any ship of class you are in,T2 would clone 2t1 ships or any T2 ship of class you fly,giving you chance of bailing or simply confusing the enemy.

Passive mimic module: ship is static cant move agility penalty/warp of delay but can mimic objects t1 can do rocks t2 can do anything in its size(look out towers/bunkers/generators etc)...so if you are playing rock at gate you are idiot but if you are at belt not so much.

For this to work(and the reason why it will never be ) asteroids need to be efin huge so there is space to hide/hunt and they need to be enveloped in thick gas cloud that will prevent probe to pinpoint ships,dir scan can tell you that there is smtn there npc frig/noob miner or fleet of blood thirsty pirates in bhaalgorns XD you need to take a looksy,in station gambling is so last year anyway

There should be some "ion burst launcher" fit able in high,aim with cam view hold launch for range and shoot bomb/burst have blast range that will clear some of cloud dust if ship was there red cross in overview target and kill.

Pretty much no more cloak it and forget it alts.

So what about real cloak modules well they become power hungry capital ship modules with few exceptions like black ops/t3/ops frig...so power hungry that it need sun to continue to operate no sun no cloak further away from sun ship will drain energy and decloak it self making it self kill target drained from energy and all.

so let shoot some numbers when there is no sun in system,ops frig can single charge of cloak that is good for 2 min ie go in warp to target drop cyno and GTFO if you can,T3 can have 5 min/capital have 15 and king off all would be black-ops new capital killer.

At this point local coming or going stops being an issue.

Anyway what was i sayin cant remember,fingers hurt tada.
