If I had to dream...here are my dreams
1) Gunnery Platform - it has a static location and programming. Rules similar to the battery rules on a POS. Requires cap boosters for lasers, ammo for any guns, limited number of shots. Skills do not apply to the platform, can not be directed by a player. Modules that violate CONCORD would be destroyed by CONCORD in systems that have CONCORD. Owner would become a criminal in HighSec the next time they are in HighSec for setting up a platform to violate CONCORD.
2) Gate Watcher - a platform that can track and record traffic thru a gate - time, ship, toon, etc. The data needs to be downloaded locally every 4-48 hours. platform has a limited recording capability. Has the ability to take a cloak, but needs to have cap boosters/batteries recharged when data is downloaded if cloaked. The closer to the gate it is deployed the more detailed the data (e.g. at 1KM you get the fit of the ship).
3) Docking Station - a cloaked module that allows a player to dock and hide a ship, so that they can move from 1 ship to another with a single toon, without leaving a ship floating in space. Would be limited to BC and down in size. Designed to allow solo toons to operate in places they normally could not. Only cloaked when the docked ship is not manned. This provides a poor man's POS without the forcefield or the ability to deploy other modules
4) Gate Probe - a platform that has a limited number of probes that cycle thru a gate and record what is on the other side. The probes are subject to bubbles, being shot up, and other means of destruction. The number of probes is limited. The probes cycle on a program and can not be changed (e.g. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, random, etc.) without servicing the module. The module would provide information to people with the right status to the owner on the state of the other side of the gate within a specific range.
5) Beacon - a platform that shows up in Local and can be warped to like any belt of other item in the system. The beacon would be of limited duration and could be set to alliance, corporate or public. The beacon could be deployed at the opening to a wormhole, a signature, or the graveyard for a battle. Beacons would have to be recharged at least weekly to continue to operating.
6) Repair Platform - a platform that would be able to house and use light repair drones. The user would warp to the platform and would then get repair based on status with the platform and how it is set. User could decide which drones are in the platform. Drones would operate at base levels, owner's skills would not apply. Platform could deploy at most 5 drones at one time.
These are just crazy brainstorms...take with a 1 cubic kilometer grain of salt. |
