I think this has been mentioned before but I oculdn't find it. Defenders are an odd system in general, and I was thinking of a module that acted like a system currently used in militaries around the world.
Phalanx CIWS
A hi-slot mounted module that would detect incoming missiles (this would be any non-friendly missile but would preference to missile fired at the ship it was mounte don) and release a hail of tiny slugs at it to disable it. It could be given a limited range and a cycle time per missile, (say 2s per missile) and if the missile was stil alive after that it would continue to fire at it.
Missile HP comes into play but it would also give more importance to missile velocity, forthermore ability to prefernce it to certain sizes (which it could detect by radar) would be very useful and make sense. Defenders hitting light missiles spamming me is not nearly important as hitting the cruises coming in from starboard!
Would talk more but class is about to start, I'l be checking in!
Cheers, KD

Cool idea. Could be tied to small proj turrets as a pre req.

It would be better to integrate multiple systems for different ammo types.
Possibly create a new skill for this AMS, and have the modules draw bonuses from current gunnery skills.

Actually our military is going away from the Phalanx CIWS in favor of RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile System which uses missiles to shoot down incoming missiles. Not that anyone cares in this game but just an FYI that this is not such an odd idea.
People have been begging for a point defense system such as you are talking about for ages. CCP hasn't put it in yet. You can hear the howls from the 100,000 missile users in EVE if we had a reasonable missile defense system.

Oh I know there could be complaints. But im thinking a system like this could be overcome slightl by missile velocity skills and tactics, iw mwd in close and torp spam vs cruise sniping. Inspire people to try new things!
I'm gonna go look at your link now, seems cool. Yazoul Samaiel [BNC] <BoB>: i hate over priced T2 **** |
