In the light of faction wars I think some new modules are in order to make fw more fun.

1. Concord Type 3 Statis Field: A stasis web that has a range of 15km, but only has a speed drop of -60% .
2. Graviton Flux Array: This handy module would basically be a sensor dampener on steroids, there would be racial types.
3. Distributed Smartbomb: This is a smart bomb that is fired at a target and goes off with the standard smart bomb effect on impace. It would be a more easily accesible version of the bomb launcher.
4. FoF Targeting Link: This module is perfect for complete lag outs. It randomly selects and fires your weapons at random enemy targets.
5. Warp Bubble Nullifier: Just another warp scram? Think again! Simply make a safe spot between two celestial objects, deploy this device, and all ships friendly or not that pass through it are pulled out of warp, forcing a fleet engagement on your terms.

1 - yes!
2 - explain a little more
3 - would be cool, but its a step backwards from bombs (bring back mines but make them balanced for current gameplay)
4 - then we would all have the same advantage as fighter drones. yes!
5 - I think bubbles used to work this way, would be cool and make sense in theory, and you could warp from gate to planet to next gate to avoid, but could be highly exploitable in combination with smart bombs/bombs.



What would be really sweet would be three things.

A deployable bubble that acts just like the current mobile warp disruption bubbles, but affects MWD speed instead. (Or make regular deployable bubbles do this just like when we are in a mission complex and can't mwd).

A bomb type that has a 50-75km radius that does 1 damage of all damage types (for a total of 4 damage) but as a result of this, it deactivates all cloaking devices in this area of effect (omni-directional).

Oh, and make tractor beams able to tractor corpses, inactive (abandoned) drones, and any cargo can/wreck regardless of "ownership" (but the tractoring causes agression flagging to the can/wreck "owner").

Edit: can't count... or spell it seems.

i can see you all about these changes, and then running back here yelling about how they are to powerful when someone uses em against you


thats what i get from this though

Nah... more like one 20km range and -33% speed and a 40km range with -15% speed.

Sounds remotely reasonable (just remotely), basically the same think as racial jammers vs multispec ones. However, a little bit too overpowered just like that, even if you're only really effective against a single race.
IF you would severely reduce the optimal range AND IF you would significantly boost capacitor consumption, then maybe yes.

Just bring back splash damage to unguided missiles : rockets, HAMs and torpedoes instead.
MUCH more fun in many different ways.

No module that's mandatory and awesome for laggy situations should exist.
Besides, in heavy lag situations, you wouldn't really be able to fire your guns in the first place anyway, so what's the point ? Oh, you mean, this module is "always on" unless specifically turned off ? No thanks. If you can activate any modules, just hit all guns, ctrl-click some targets, wait. Same end-result.
Useless mod.

TBQFH, this is how all bubbles should work in the first place, NOT the way they work now (trajectory LINE intersecting them instead of just warping-in segment in detination grid sucking you in seems... weird ; there's also the matter of where you show up in the bubble... meh, weirdness).
Still, this one could be easily circumvented if people would warp to a different (non-gate) celestial object out-of-line with the destination gate first ; you'd need this one to have a huge "pull in" range for it to matter, or fill all the negbouring GRIDS to a stargate that go towards any object to make them count.
Naaaaah, just leave it all like it is, too much trouble for nothing.


So... 1 barely but only if different, 2 not really, 3 somewhat but has better alternative, 4 no thanks, 5 not worth bothering.

Sure; 20km might be better imho.

Worst idea I've seen in a long time.
