No idea if this idea has surfaced, but given the sometimes overpowering nature of logi, especially in light of the new t1 logi frigs. If nothing else, I at least want to get the name out on the boards if it's even being considered.

Remote Nano-Disassembler- Projected anti armor rep. Though no more than 20% reduction in rep amount, with a likely value of 10-15. I see it being a continually activated module, likely with a high cap cost and a short cycle time. Mostly intended as an opener to bursting down a target. Obviously incapable of stacking with another one being used at the same time. If a percentage seems way out of line, then it could reduce repping by a set value instead. Which would then lend itself well to different ship class sizes of it.

Field Integration Disruptor- Same song, second verse. But for the shields.

As far as lore goes, the first is under the concept that if you can project nanites to repair another ship, then you can project them in order to attack beneficial repair nanites.

For the shield one, it would basically oscillate the field and impair it's ability to absorb energy boosts from either the ship itself or a shield transfer array.

The principle idea here is that currently there is a module shared by both cruisers and battlecruisers, that being the 800mm reinforced steel plate. However, most BCs fit the battleship sized module, the 1600mm reinforced steel plate, due to the fact that they can GÇ£easilyGÇ¥ be fit on most Armor BCs due their significantly larger PG over cruisers. The problem that arises from this decision to fit the 1600mm plate, means that armor cruisers also feel the need to fit the same BS sized 1600mm plate just to be remotely similar in EHP to go up against a BC.

So my proposal is to create a specific armor plate designed for BC hulls that still allow them to be viable when fighting against BS hulls, but not so overwhelming when fighting against cruiser hulls. In the end, it would allow cruisers to feel comfortable fitting the 800mm plate, BC fitting their new module, and BS still owning the 1600mm plate. For this to work accordingly, the 1600mm plate would need its PG requirements raised up to 700 MW or more (balancing would be required here), as the new BC plate would borrow the 1600mm plateGÇÖs PG requirements of 500 MW.

This is done so that cruisers can use the new armor BC's plate, but at a gimped fit like it is currently when using the 1600mm plate. On top of that, cruisers will lose their ability to fit the BS sized 1600mm plate. On the other hand, BC hulls still maintain the relative ease of fitting their new dedicated armor plate and also have the ability to fit the 1600mm plate like before, but again at a similar gimped fit.

The idea is to shoot for a 75% balancing on bonuses and penalties between the current 800mm and 1600mm plates when I created this new module. This 75% balancing on stats would continue through the 7 meta levels. Without further ado, I give you the 1200mm reinforced steel plate I...

Brilliant. +1

yes cos we want bc's too be twice as tanky as cruisers :P their extra EHP should be built into the ship not with specific plates on top of that.

Modules should be capable of shifting the utility of a ship, not just augmenting its natural ability. Increasing the base armor hp might assist one build of one hull, but having a half-step between 800 and 1600 gives greater flexibility for armor tankers of all stripes. Imagine an RR Domi driver who needs a little more buffer but hasn't got the PG for a 1600; a 1200 would fit the bill nicely. This would allow BC's to bridge the gap between Cruisers and Battleships, like they're supposed to; think of them as 'pocket battleships', if you will.

Web bomb, effect duration 15-30 seconds or so, acts like a web only across the radius of a bomb. Multiple bomb hits do not stack.

Deployable decloaking field

[Consumable, terrain transforming]

This anchorable module pulses an area effect decloaking aura that will uncloak all ships within a certain radius as if they had moved within 2km of an object in space. Once anchored it cannot be unanchored and will decay, falling to pieces and destroying itself after a certain time period.

Small 15 km radius
Medium 25 km radius
Large 40 km radius

Tech 1: 15 minutes
Tech 2: 25 minutes

Gossip in seedy cantinas has it that certain pirate factions have developed more potent versions of these devices.

we have tachyon beam lasers
any chance we could get tachyon pulse lasers as well

Hello capsuleers!

One of the things we want to do in the releases later this year is adding new modules to the game. We're looking into what areas to delve into and I would love to hear what ideas you guys have.

To give a little bit of framework and to get the ball rolling, here are a few keywords:

Scripts
Heat
EW
Drones
Fitting/Slots
Area of Effect
One-use (consumable) modules

We're looking for anything ranging from small variations of existing modules to completely new functionality. While you're free to suggest whatever you want (including stuff not related to the list above), it's the latter part (new functionality) that is of the most interest right now (as it likely takes the longest to implement).

Thanks in advance,
SoniClover
