Introduce a module that works opposite to a tractor beam.

Why does a universe exists where you can pull cans and wracks from far away but nobody is
able to push back any hostile ship except from bumping.

Voyager and Enterprise can do this since ages.

Module has long cooldown - reload time.

small ships - big effects up to capitals with no effect.

Call it ultimate escape modul

An armor repping equivalent of oversized reppers. A Cyclone can fit a large shield booster, which in fittings and cap consumption is identical to two medium shield boosters. A Harbinger can only fit the two medium ARs, so it has to waste a slot. That's a huge imbalance.

Without changing the nature of AR fittings a new group of modules can be created to fill this chasm, armor reppers that perform at the level above them at the cost of increased CPU and capacitor consumption.

For example, a medium armor repper that reps and eats cap like a large armor repper and requires significantly more CPU than average MARs, and maybe some more powergrid, but not a prohibitive amount.

It could be called Medium Energized Armor Repairer or something like that.

Thoughts? Something like this is needed to bridge the gap.

just making anciliary armor repairers not use cap as the shield ones would already be enough.

I don't know if this has been proposed before, but how about some active high or mid slot module that actively decreases the shield resists of the target by 0x%?

CCP already thought of this:

Even though it suffers a stacking penalty, I don't feel this kind of module should be supported unless the decreased resistances was only affected by the weapons of the player who used the module.

It effectively cuts all tanks by a percentage - a little too powerful for a module.

never seen that before...

And true, -100% resistance t any given damage type is totally out of proportion, I was more thinking about percentages in the single digit realm + decreased effectiveness at range through falloff or a similar mechanic...

But regardless, even if it was a single digit value, the implications of a resistance % reducing module are huge - be it a battleship or a titan, with the press of a button you would reduce someone's shield/armor buffer/active tank efficiency for that resistance by a %. This isn't exactly a balanced tool even if it was a battleship-only module that sucked your cap dry like a MWD and had a 10km range.

Sry, I referred to the -100% as shown in the link You provided. The effect wouldn't be much better or worse as that of a TP or Webifier, only in this case it would be more dangerous to large ships than to small ships, more so if it were a battleship only module. I was thinking of something like 3 - 4 % resist decrease to one given damage type. Also CCP Could always click the "this is ewar" checkbox and certain very big ship which I'll never fly would be immune to it.

That would be reasonable I suppose. I wonder what CCP's reasons were for not implementing them.

Might be they were worried of a whole fleet targeting one guy with that stuff... On the other hand if You get primaried by a fleet, You can either instawarp out or You're dead... :/

EDIT: or they couldn't come up witha similar and yet slightly different module for Armor tanks. Didn't check that tbh.
