i am suggesting the creation of alarm probes.
wouldnt it be neat if you can drop a probe anywhere in low or 0.0 sec and if anything sets destination within the AOE of this probe the probe instantly pops and your whole overview flasshes red 3 times and ships arora computer verbaly says battlestations, incomming fleet or intruder allert!!!
these probes i would suggest training but not nessary
i mean today we have so many highly advanced security systems im just thinking a super basic trip alarm should survive the many years of advanced technology hehe.

i do not think i have a need for these but i do agree there are no security devices in eve useable by ships and being it so far in future no security, is strange hehe
i would support this idea for sheer sence of logic

I'll be blunt. I don't like it. Part of the fun of null-sec is infiltrating an enemy's space and getting some good intel. It's bad enough that we have to deal with the local channel showing us covert-op pilots when we are cloaked, now you want us to deal with an impossible system to beat? You know that someone will put like 20 on a critical gate and make it impossible to get passed then that will start to become the norm. No thanks. You want to live in null-sec risk free then find a good alliance with a great intel channel and one that can protect the carebears of the alliance. Otherwise play Eve like it was intended.

Yes, kill local and add this. Or make mobile something that could be anchored.

Using these could allow alliances in 0.0 to have realtime information on their border gates displayed on the map of whichever unfortunate sod got nominated to watch it for the day.
Everyone has to decide if that's a good or a bad thing.

Pirate will deploy this in every belt and wait for someone to warp in. Wait 3 secs and jump on them. Yes, you can still do this by scanning or sitting in the belt clocked, but its harder and you cant cover all belts.

maybe a limit on how many you can run at any one time, and maybe have a countdown timer till it dies like for scanner probes?

This could definately work but it shouldnt even be considered until CCP nerfs Local. We cant have the current Local AND these proximity things.

with a local nerf this would be a good idea. Perhaps a limit of 1 at a time per player

Any sort of artificial limter in eve will not work for anything ever. It really shoud stop being suggested.

well these thigs would not detect a cloaked ship if the ship but even a covert ops ship must decloak from gate to recloak nearly instantly but the cloak has been broken thus triggering alarm!
i would suggest only 1 per pilot with current game mechanics but can redeploy as often as you can jet can
these alarms with loacal nerf i would suggest a more rapid deployment and possibly controle of up to 5 provided you had a skill like.... security specialist
im thinking maybe diferent size alarms possibly working much like warp bubbles you deploy them but they self destruct upon being triggered.
and these alarms after it is deployed will online anywhere from 30-60 seconds.
maybe small probe require low skill and can cover an acceration gate. a medium probe can cover a star gate to detect any new visitors and large require perfect alarm skill and cover a huge area size of asteroid field.
how it works a player scans you out and finds you now he sets warp to said location asteroid belt via large probe you alarm immediatly triggered.
if you had medium alarm this can be tricky cuz if his ships course will devate his ship outside the alarms coverage area then alarm is not triggered and his enemy will get his suprise on said gankee.
this will give nice intell on wich gate is activated if you cant cover all gates with your croup without deviding your forces to thin.
this will also be usefull for pilots who wanna make an attempt at running missions or ratting or complex or mine solo or as a fleet. and hoping for a pre warning that thier mission will be interupted.
mot much worse than having your tank nearly about to fail from mission then a few nasty intruders come in and spoil your fun and break your tank cuz you are a little preocupied and missed the new reds in local .
i think there are many more tactical uses and hell if your in high sec and your able to be in care bear mode so no worries but then a salvager player wants to steal your salvage you have pre warning.... wake up call to decide what you wanna do kill wreaks or start salvaging as fast as possible.
work lots of cool tactics for faction war. and help against or for corperation or alliance wars hehe

not bad but i make a good portion of my poor income from salvaging other people missions and i think this may make them aware of my attempts to steal salvage fut im so fast at what i do...
but i will sign this its well thought out..........

i would try to put these on every location in my solar system or as many as i can use and watch his movemen pattern and that may help me better chase my prey.
if i see that my prey only warps the top 5 plannets in a circle useing these alarm probes i will start to warp to plannet 5 right when my prey set off planet 4 alarm off. so we both should arrive to plannet 5 same time

My firs reaction was "HELLS NO!" I thought this would just make carebears untouchable, haveing forwarning flash on there screen that enemies are coming (meaning they wouldnt have to pay attention to local, which they all wath like hawks and screem run! as soon as someone unknown jumps in)
Then I gave it some thought, If you make Local channel the same as most other public channels. (you only see someone once they have typed in it.) Make the probes a bit like scanning probes (except advanced) have them tell you ship type and pilot name of anything within 100KM of them. Make them "Targetable" with maybe <1K HP and a 30min-1hour life time. long range (maybe mak them 100AU range or maybe even a couple of LY so you can place them in previous systems) This would still allow a level of security for people aswell as giving fleets a fighting chance at catching them.
You all jump through and there is a "alarm" ok thee gonna know your here but before you all uncloak you have the smallest frig in your fleet uncloak and pop the probe. So even if your enemy knows your coming they don't know your numbers and have only seen 1 small frig (not even that if the aren't paying close attention to the probe)
It is then a judgement call of the probe user to go because his probe got popped or to risk having 1 unknown frig in his system while he carebears.
On the point of the Anchored probes. I'd say alot of HP (like bubbles) but I'd only allow them in systems where you own Sov... And I would give a small delay maybe 20 sec delay between contact and warning... If you think about it all alarm systems give time for an intruder to identify themselfs as friendly (by entering a caode) could be if you jump into a system with a probe it prompts a code on your screen and if you fail to enter the code in 20 seconds, then it sounds. (or mayke it like the codes for POS's where you have to enter it into your ship info)

Similar thread here
This other one has a little different point of view though (focusing on the creation of a security net for a corporation and nerfing local), but complements the original idea of this thread. Anyway, could consider merging these two posts to avoid cluttering.
Either case, I support them both. Security equipment would create a nice experience for both attacking and defending side. But I prefer them on a corporate scale (to avoid be used by pirates and campers) like stated on the other post.
Anyway, it would need a nice work from CCP for balance and exploiting avoidance.
Thumbs up for the idea.

I must reiterate my thoughts and remind those that support such an idea that null-sec isn't to be risk free.

That's not about taking out the risks of low/null-sec... that's about adding a new depth to player-controlled space security handling and low/null-sec corporate wars.
On the contrary... if you start feeling safe about your security network, it would be even more fun to hack your beacons and get an invasion force into your territory. Much better than "watch the local channel", isn't it?
Just a question of how to balance the skills, $$$ and rules to make it fun for both defenders (for successful enemy detection using the security grid) and attackers (for successful bypass of security grids).
Down the local channel! Hail security beacons!

Absolutely correct but I don't feel this idea is going to make null sec risk free unless it's not balanced correctly. One per gate maximum would be awesome, you could still infiltrate enemy space but if you sent someone in to destroy the probe first you could get quite a few covops/recons in before someone came to see what happened.

i like how both pvpers and carebears can exploit these about the same. i would amagin these this would probably at max fit about 100 in a standard crusier cargo hold but you may need to drasticly reduce that number to accomadate cap batteries, scan probes, ammo, large warp bubble and a little extra room to grab loot.

give the probe a 5 to 10 second lock time? give it a lock time enough to target some regular uncloaked ships, cloaked ships can just recloak before it fully targets them and sets the alarm. players can set up to 5 of these (with training to lvl 5 'Security Probe'), and they have a 3 hour lifespan?
