How about impersonating another player is only possible if you have collected their frozen corpse beforehand and have it sit in the decoy. |

That would suddenly give value to corpses beyond morbid hangarwear. It would also make it harder to impersonate specific individuals. |

It would be nice if the decoy could be preforming an action, or appear to be preforming an action, like mining, circling, protecting or fighting another ship (one piloted by a player). imagine: my SB sees a tasty miner sucking away the life force of poor astroids, and I swoop in to save it, but No! It's a decoy and a fellow pirate...savior is there to destroy me. This could create some real content if implemented properly. +1 and Bump! |

This is a great idea 
And just an on-the-spot suggestion: how about you have to put a ship's BPC into it to activate it in that ship's form? This would keep people from just making hundreds of them in space (unless shuttles  ) and would be kind of balancing.
Also, the corpse idea is a great suggestion - i'd have a use for them! And we may see some CCP members floating around eventually, if that's the case

i like the BPC idea.... although that would essentially stop people from deploying these as capital ships (i.e. no one would make a decoy titan then). TBH, it's a great idea, but makes these a bit too expensive IMO.

I see your point- anything above a BS (~2 mil) may start to be...difficult to do. Maybe capital ships could use something else... Or maybe they could all use a sort of data core or specific item. Either way, decoys would be a great feature

The KISS approach will be just fine.
We don't need a dozen skills to make decoys realistic. To be honest, I don't want perfect decoys. I want something that anyone with good situational awareness will spot, yet the unprepared will fall for.

Absolutely.
The game does not require complexity, any more than it requires teamwork.
But, the game is intended to reward teamwork, since it is an MMO, and the option to improve your results by using more complex tactics and strategies should always be an option.
It makes for good gameplay, by leveraging intelligence as well as superior numbers.

TBH, I really like the idea it "requires" a BPC of the ship it wants to mimic... but am attempting to find a workaround for t2, t3, and capital ships. I don't mind a 10m setup cost... but a 100m or more setup cost is really limiting.
Also, there definitely should be some mechanism that makes spamming these things uncommon. |

I know a lot of players (especially in my corp) feel that decoy ships would make hunting ratters and miners in nullsec that much harder than it already is. To be honest, it is fairly difficult to catch an alert miner (although the warp changes may alter that, time will tell).
Spamming these in a system to obfuscate yourself, spamming these in the middle of a large sov fight, etc... are generally considered a bad thing.
One thing is very clear, there needs to be some pragmatic limits to how these are deployed, or they will become abused.

Have them use a form of bandwidth, like a drone does.
Certain ships will be geared to more effective use, perhaps, certain modules will make it stronger.
Possibly the use of an anchorable jamming device to block activating these could be considered.
Just don't use ISK as a limiting factor. They thought that would work with titans, and unintentionally made them too common.

In a way, yes.
But this is the really cool part: you can find these in space, and blow them up. They can't hide in an outpost or POS.
Could be therapeutic, imagine creating one of someone you have anger issues towards, and nuking them repeatedly.
