Have no idea if anything like this has been suggested, but how bout...
Drone Bay Maintenance Array (mid slot?)
When activated it works in a similar fashion to armor and hull repairers, except that it repairs the armor and hull of your damaged drones currently in your drone bay. The single module repairs both armor and hull. Only one module per ship can be fit. The module repairs one drone at a time, first hull than armour, and gradually cycles through your drone groups from top to bottom until all drones are repaired. It could potentially be left active during combat (if you can spare the cap) so that it automatically begins repairing damaged drones as they return to the drone bay. It would use less cap then either an armor repairer (of course repairs less in each cycle) or a remote armor repairer.
The idea here is that it adds to the longevity of your drones as you cycle through returning and launching. Also adds another element to drone management. There would only be module sizes for medium and large ships (?) |

you would think the drone bay would be able to fix the drones without having to waste a valuable slot.
especially since drone boats have one slot less to begin with. |

Have not read the whole post so sorry if posted before.
How about scripted shield and armour amplifiers.
Un-scripted would work like an Invul for shields and Aapt. Nano for armour with say a 10% boost accross all resists. When a scripted is added for example EM the would boost only em by say 40%.
Advantage would be that you would be able to change resist on the fly, making combat more interesting.
These scripts could also have a timed usage meaning that they would have to be replaced during a battle. Reload times could be set to give the attacker a chance to destroy the ship, so not to make these modules over powered. |

We need rigs that would reduce power grid requirement of AB and MWD. You can make them either astronautic rigs or energy grid rigs, does not matter much, but they should provide massive reduction of power grid demand. Something like -22% for T1 rigs and -33 for T3 rigs would be desired and would allow for more dual prop fits and oversized AB fits. |

1mn/10mn/100mn pulse drive unit
Applies a very large impulse to the ship in the direction in which it is aligned for 1 second, which ignores the ship's max speed or warp strength (as if it had been bumped). How much speed is added depends on the mass of the ship, and it cannot be online simultaneously with a microwarpdrive or afterburner. Before each use the module requires 20 seconds to charge up, this timer is started immediately after decloaking or undocking (so it cannot be used to speed up aligning from a gate). The amount of impulse generated should be perhaps enough to almost reach MWD speed from a standstill, but not enough to average faster than an afterburner with continuous use.
How might this module be used?
>to urgently sprint towards an enemy as they land or uncloak
>to aid in bumping- as you're about to hit the ship you wish to bump you switch your mwd off and fire the pulse drive for extra speed. A difficult but very potent trick
>fitted to kiting ships to permit a last ditch escape from hard tackle
>fitted to brawling ships to "slingshot" across the range gap more effectively
>a chance to "break through" dual webs or serpentis webs with skilled piloting
>used by slower, tougher ships to reapproach a camped gate (while skilled gatecampers will use the same module to bump them away first) |

Ok Mr. CCP Man.
Seriously, consider this one.
Smartbomb Sheathing.
Ok, so here's what it does... The idea of a Smartbomb is that it generates a pulse of energy that doesn't damage the ship it is fit on, hence "Smart" (not smart in any other way really) - so the pulse of energy can identify the ship it is fit onto, perhaps the smartbomb itself sheathes the ship in some kind of smart skin that creates the pulse of energy which also helps the energy pulse identify what it shouldn't damage.
So, Smartbomb Sheathing would be a skin that the smartbomb identifies as a non-target, just like the ship itself, and the smartbomb's energy pulse does no damage. This would protect you from a Smartbomb of a certain damage type. This could have a few applications -
#1, it can make team members immune to smartbombs for smartbomb types.
#2, if you are privy that you are going to fly into a smartbomb fleet, you could pre-empt the attack and sheath the ship. Obviously, this will take a defensive slot, so it's always a risk.
I recommend the sheathing come in 5 flavors:
1 for each damage type. (em/therm/kin/exp) sheathing that protects you completely.
1 adaptive smartbomb sheathing that just reduces damage in half or such.
Thanks :)

Fleet Cloak Module.
Skill Required: Fleet Cloaking 2(new), Covert Ops 5, Cruisers 5
Ship requirements: Only fits on Cruiser Class ships
Fitting: High Slot.
Effect: Area effect cloak 10 km around emitter cloaking all ships (friendly or hostile) within range.
Duration: 10 Minutes and cannot be deactivated during cycle.
Cost: 100-300 Ozone per cycle (less with skill bonus)
While active:
Ships affected by cloak cannot use weapons, or modules (no AF/AB, etc..).
When ships leave cloak ring, all modules are disrupted for 5 seconds.
Host ship cannot move for duration of cloak cycle.
Every affected ship behaves as if it had a prototype cloak active ( movement penalty, targeting delay, etc...)

Well everyone said all the good ones already, so im gonna throw out the most outlandish ideas, who knows maybe you'll like one of em.
-electro magnetic pulse (EMP) diminishes cap in an AOE including the ship using the module. Maybe make them one time use or something.
-Modules that use nanite repair paste as fuel
-t2 nanite repair paste
-t3 frigates with 3 subsystems
-drone mines. Mines that fit in the drone bay and deploy like sentry drones and only work when you're on grid and have AOE (just spit balling here, some of these may be bad ideas)
-heat sink drones
-t2 shuttles that are immune to EW
-something that tricks customs scanners so that you can smuggle contraband as a profession, maybe like a minigame, just a thought. In fact make it so you can trick any scanner but there's skill involved, it would be an interesting response to suicide ganks happening out the wazoo lately.
-head lights... for those fits with empty highslots
-slot adapters... i dont know if i even like the idea but sometimes i've though "i would gladly give up 2 low slots for a mid slot on this ship"
A little outside the box, i know, but I'm trying to imagine eve 5-10 years down the road. |

There have been many suggestions for an AAR (Ancillary Armor Repairer) or in functional terms, a short-term, high-hp armor repairer that is immune to capacitor warfare and/or is highly hardpoint-efficient.
I think that's a bit redundant. Armor repairers do fine. The only semi-new concept I could imagine would be a passive armor repair module or rig that might sacrifice cap recharge or movement velocity for a trickle-repair of sorts.
That would perhaps see more pve use than pvp, or maybe a solo pvp buffer tank would use it while behind enemy lines. But that is rather limited, and doesn't give the absurd ehp boost that an ASB does in a continued fight.
Here's what I suggest for armor tanks:
Large Ancillary Damage Control I
CPU: 46tf Powergrid: 200MW
Ammo: Cap booster 400, 800
Cycle time: varies with charge.
Reload time: 90s
Armor resists bonus: to be determined, but absurd.
---
So how would this be used?
Well, unlike the ASB, this would scale well with fleets. It would multiply the effectiveness of logistics, but after the cycle, prove them far less effective than they would be with a normal, consistent tank.
It would also act very hardpoint-efficiently, giving even more damage mods to zealot fleets, for example. Do they need 4? yeah. I think they need 4.
What about drawbacks? Well, it needs some. maybe movement speed, or something besides going inactive after use. maybe the movement speed nerf is only during reload, to make it extra-deadly once your time is up? who knows.
There are multiple ways of balancing it, there's the notion of having different sized modules for each ship, but also the one module that scales with the ships. maybe the resists are static, but cycle time varies with each hull, saying "while this is active, frigates should stay alive for 45 seconds, cruisers for a minute, and battleships for two." or something to that effect.
or maybe the larger cap charges provide higher resists, and the cycle time is static. So you could run 2 cycles of 400 charges and get 50% resists for 2 minutes, or 1 cycle of 800s and get 65% resists for 1 minute, and so on. And after that, you are on your own for however long seems balanced. The idea is pretty much the same. "Make this ship survive for X amount of time then die unless I won."
---
Then there's another section of modules:
remote armor/shield resistance modules.
function to multiply the effectiveness of repair-based logistics in fleet engagements.
It would only be effective after the first 2-3 logistics, and each fleet would almost never need more than 2-3, but it would definitely add variety to support compositions.
Unless it is flown with a buffer-tanked fleet, and there is only 1 logistic, and the ehp boost from the resists is greater than the repair only 1 rr logi could deliver in that amount of time, but that's very situational.
eve likes situational, though. |

Make an Orca specific Jump Drive, pretty please. I've heard all the arguments against it, so here's my proposal:
- make it a low slot module, so it gimps cargo hold (hence not rendering JF's useless)
- make it very expensive, perhaps to the point of it costing like another orca so that the final cost (orca + JD) is in the region of 1.5 -2 bil.
- Perhaps play with the range so that it's not OP.
IMHO, this would help small groups manage their logistics better, and even allow individuals to try their luck at lowsec/nullsec trade hub supplying. It wouldn't make BF go out of business since 320k m3 is still decently more than 119m3 and with shorter jump range it wold require more effort for longer distances supply. Btw, that 119k m3 is the amount of cargo a maxed out char can get out of an orca fitted with 2xlarge cargohold optimisation II rigs+ 1x large cargohold optimisation I rig and a cargo expander II module. |

from the devblog from team superfriends, and here is the quote:
"Micro Jump Drive. The classic GÇÿblinkGÇÖ ability, allowing ships to maneuver around the battlefield in a new way (with some hefty limitations of course) . WeGÇÖll try to get this out on a test server as soon as we can. ItGÇÖs still some weeks away, but stay tuned."
something very similar methinks |

Spectral Analyzer - device that changes your HUD, creates a colored orb around ships within range, allowing you to get a general sense of their damage taken without locking onto them.
Armor Spikes - module that causes damage to ships when you ram them with your ships (for obvious reasons, you might have to make this a toggle).
Reverse Thrusters - same as MWD or afterburner, except you move backward. Might be useful for bombers.

Suggestion:
A new module for carriers / supercarriers / rorqals
Description:
Bubble shield (like the POS) module for carriers / rorqals
Mechanics:
Simple, when active it immobilizes the carrier, burns strontium while running, and provides 80% of the shields as a 10km bubble shield with exactly the same protective capabilities as a POS.
Interesting notes and questions:
1. Now your carrier can be used to make a safe spot and remain mostly functional. Great for small mining parties.
2. I suggest fighters should still be available as ultimately, no carrier would be any where near as strong as a real POS.
3. I suggest that when active, it will cause the ship to stay in-game even if the pilot logs, thereby being very useful to small mining parties or other roaming parties (think temp staging area).
4. Host ship should retain its ship maint bay functionality, again, acting like a little temporary POS.
5. I suggest a slow fuel burn rate, something like 4 to 8hrs on a full load. The idea is to encourage its use as a temporary mining camp or staging area. Also long cycle times, 5 mins or more would seem fitting.
Final thoughts:
1. Using this tactically may become an issue (warping in, turning it on to disperse bad guys by bubble bumping).
2. The ability of carriers or rorqals to move around thru gates out in 0.0 space would be helpful and encourage more use. (ship can fly out and 'setup' ahead of its mates)

Auto-Scan Array
Designed to automatically scan ships that are targeting pilot's vessel, giving information about their ship's setup and weaponry so pilots can use counter-measures.
Adaptive Reflective Shield
Passively adapts to the previous damage, allowing to actively reflect up to 25% of the damage.
Another thing I like to see is focused doomsday weapons that isn't AOE, but has an piercing effect. I can see a massive beam of particles piercing through ships or an massive mass driver that uses resources instead of ammo to damage targets. This would make unique weapons that can be placed on an Super Dreadnought or Titan. |

It might be hard to balance, so its maybe not a good idea after all. Consider making the rewards from pirate LP stores such that grinding rep and LP with them is worthwhile.

CCP please re-work broken modules.
I strongly advise to change ELECTRONIC hardwirings slot 9 from capacitor bonus to EW strenght bonus. Currently this hardwiring bonus is pointless and may save 0.2 cap/sec if you buy it.
Can you possibly give Dreadnaughts a SIEGE weapon, similar to titans beam. Let some dreads deal AOE (area of effect) damage. Let other dreads do FOCUS damage, the more firepower, the damage increases exponentially. 2 Dreads 4x damage, 3 Dreads 8x damage, 4 dreads 16x damage. Ammar laser focus weapon. Gallente shockwave cannons (AOE), Minmatar explosive artillery charges (AOE). This will end blobbing and make super spamming less superior due to AOE and FOcused tank breaking.
Dear devs, this one is actually cool - please add ship ejection catapult. You can escape from bubble, but you leave intact ship behind for enemy capture. More incentive for war trophies, and thought.
Also very important idea - please allow covert SHIP scanner and covert CARGO scanner to be activated when covops is cloaked. It will provide intelligence about cargo traffic and potential enemy fittings. Unfortunatelly uncloaking to scan does not go well with espionage and data retrieval - it is way to insta pod. |

Ships inside the field should be able to target and remote repair the carrier while still instead it, and to attack other ships outside the field but not inside the field. Non-blues would be ejected from the bubble, but remain untargetable while in the field, if undocking into the field, etc.. |
