Tactical Probe
Charge
Designed as solution for required fast relocation on battlefield, this probe is launched with extreme velocity from a standard Core Probe Launcher and will travel at 30,000 m/s in a direct line from your ship along your current path. As the fuelcache of the probe is very restrictive, it's accleration only lasts for 6 seconds.
Volume: 0.8m-¦ (Only one can be fitted into the launcher at a time)
Skillbonus: Drone Navigation increases velocity by 4,000 m/s per skill level.
Idea: Launch it, have a warpin at 180 - 280 km in front of you within a few seconds. Short duration, Probe explodes after 5 minutes, can not be retrieved. Make it, that everybody can warp to the probe and I really think, this concept can not be overpowered, under no circumstances.
Drone Bandwidth Jammer
Highslot Module
An Electronic Warfare Module which is designed to reduce the drone bandwidth of the target. This module emits very strong radio signals on the frequency on which drones usually communicate, thus scrambling broadcasts from the target ship to it's own drones. Comes in two sizes, standard and capital.
Idea: Reduce Bandwidth of drone ships. If the affected ship hasn't deployed drones yet, it will only be able to deploy drones as far as it's new, scrammed bandwidth allows him to do. If he already has drones deployed, some of the drones, which aren't receiving the bandwidth now, go into a 'JAMMED' status, like the now available statuses 'In Combat, Returning, Idle'. A jammed drone will fulfil the last order it was given to, after then, it will stay idle in space until bandwidth is restored or someone scoops it to cargo / dronebay (yeah, drone pirating, wooo).
The Capital version of the module would be able to jam even targets usually immune to all forms of electronic warfare, thus being able to bring EWAR onto Supercarriers. Very Capacitor intensive, very CPU greedy, maybe very long cycle time (30 sec, 1 min) and making the ship unable to jump or warp while active. Maybe.
Short Range Multispectral Scanner
Passive Medium Slot Module
This module is a state of the art scanner, able to detect even the tiniest bit of exhaust created by an object, be it engine trails, radio transmissions, or, and that is the real new totally cool stuff, even the (tachyons blablabla scientific explanation of what a cloaking device does and why it MIGHT be 'detected'). This module is passive, and enhances the directional scan of your ship in ranges up to 300 kilometeres from your current location. If there is a cloaked ship within the 300 km of you while you use the dscan, it will show up on the directional scan als 'Unknown' - 'Cloaked Object'. It will NOT allow you to decloak or lock a cloaked ship. It will only be an indicator to tell you, if you're being observed. And some very skilled pilots might actually be able to get the direction of the ship, gaining the oppotunity to try and decloak some silent observers.
That's it from me so far, maybe more ideas to be had. |
