Most people know that Data sites in W-space are not in a healthy place, and thus I have had an idea I've been tossing around in my head and thought I would throw it out.
Sleeper Augmented Weapons Systems
Please donGÇÖt jump to a conclusion of Overpowered. What I suggest is merely a modification of a system we already have in place: Augmented Drones.
With relatively recent changes to drone balancing, Augmented Drones are superior to their t2 brethren, but are considerably more costly due to supply and demand.
If we take a look at a T2 Hobgoblin, and a Augmented Hobgoblin itGÇÖs a pretty direct increase of stats:
Augmented Gains:
50% Shield\Armor\Structure
10% Speed Increase
10% Damage Increase
Damage Profile changes from 100% Thermal to a 35\65 Split of Kinetic\Thermal Respectively.
Additionally this drone receives the same 2% damage per level of Gallente Drone Specialization.
My proposal is to do the similar with T2 weapons (Not Ammunition)
Make BPCGÇÖs for these weapons drop in Wormhole Sleeper Data Sites.
Have the BPCGÇÖs use some of the GÇ£uselessGÇ¥ Sleeper Salvage and Datacores.
Have the weapons have fitting similar to Faction, but be able to use t2 Ammo, and a very slight damage and\or damage Application increase.
What I think this will do:
Make sleeper salvage more valuable besides only having ribbons being useful
Give people an option to spend more ISk to get a little bit more, without locking themselves out of T2 Ammo.
Since all of these things will be priced based on Supply\Demand and not an ISK faucet, it shouldn't harm the economy in any way.
Because the weapons will presumably be expensive to use (Much like faction weapons) they wonGÇÖt be seen in mass ganking, or null-sec doctrines.
Possible Problems:
Absolutely massive stockpiles of this GÇ£uselessGÇ¥ sleeper junk would make these very cheap at the beginning, which is bad.
Proposal to fix this:
Make a new loot type to replace 90% of the Data-cores (As it stand the supply exponentially exceeds the demand) And have these be used in the BPCs.
Dramatically reduce the drop rates of ALL sleeper salvage that currently has considerably more supply than demand.
Make these weapons use the lower class WH gas reactions for production, in addition to the GÇ£uselessGÇ¥ sleeper salvage.
In Conclusion:
This will provide a more GÇ£balancedGÇ¥ source of income in wormholes, without hurting anything in its current form.
Dramatically increase the value of GÇ£uselessGÇ¥ sites in W-space.
This is a rough proposal, and I donGÇÖt claim to be an expert. Would love Feedback.

Maybe T3-destroyers will do the job.
But lets see how they perform in industry and exploration.
I am against 'augmented' ammo/guns/drones/etc from sleeper sites.

I really don't think the t3's dessies are going to make data sites worth running, which is the main problem. |
