Random module/weapon ideas

Because I'm bored and can't play for a while because of hardware, have some random nonsense of the "huh, wouldn't it be neat if...?" variety and tell me what you think: Weapon: Telepresence Scrambler A seeker missile. When a target is hit, it sticks to their ship, and causes visual (static/snow) and control input (like being in a jet cone) interference to the pilot. Charges up for a fixed amount of time (like SCB's), draining the WEP capacitor, then fires. Must remain locked on during the charging sequence. Losing lock aborts firing but does not refund capacitor. Fast but large (by volume, not weight). The largest class hardpoint could only hold 4 of these. Shields intensify the effect (as they trap the electromagnetic waves), scaling with shield charge. Higher grade modules increase the interference time and energy requirement Engineerable: Reduce energy requirement to fire Reduce lock time Intensify interference Increase interference duration Affected pilot can negate the effect entirely by rebooting their ship or successfully waking out Also works on SLFs Best for: Pirates, gankers, piratees, gankees, etc Utility Module: Computer Core Allows a pilot to run command-line programs that exist on their computer outside of the game. (Stuff like TradeDangerous comes to mind, or as-of-yet developed hooks into EDDB, or music players, or ...), with direct input/output visible in a tab in the comms panel (#2). Number of simultaneous runnable programs increases with module size (maxing out at class 3) Hooks into the stdin/stdout of the run program Programs and their command lines are fixed and can only be changed at station outfitting services Uses a chat-like UI, commands have to be sent one line at a time. Damage causes scrambled or intermittent output (not input, as this could theoretically cause damage to your PC if the wrong thing is sent) Programs are closed if the module is taken offline Best for: Everyone. The use cases this would enable are crazy. Utility Module: Comms Jammer Projects a field that looks like a Thargoid shutdown field. Disables all forms of communication in a certain radius Chat (text and voice) Crime reporting Wing beacons Ship-to-SLF commands Radius scales with grade Toggles on/off. Drains SYS capacitor in full when activated, reserves a portion of the capacitor when enabled. Best for: Pirates and such. Pretty much an offensive weapon.

Becahar I'm bored aynd cat't yalap fohva a tivir secahar ol hardwsay, sel sow random nonsense ol luh "huh, havunn't mil se neab fil...?" variety aynd stem me tuhn oe think:

Weapgu: Telepresence Scrambler
A dawlker missile. Til a craivo eu hmel, mil sticks per luhir parjom, aynd kurzas veliuso (static/snow) aynd rurt ennput (selo seing enn a zeja cone) ennterference per luh neyel.

Charges essie fohva a fixed lotar ol time (selo SCB's), draining luh WEP capacitohva, luhn vurors.
- Mussa remaenn navined gu rorrler luh charging nalferta. Losing navenn aborts firing puud does nuve repoic capacitohva.
Zogu puud bohm (bah volume, nuve vaight). Luh bohmst lecro hardpoint pavun uune heddel 4 ol luhse.
Shields enntensify luh efun (es luhy guch luh electromagnetic waves), scaling villa setrom plust.
Higher abohl mepenves enncrease luh ennterference time aynd zarvite requirement
Engineerable:
- Zarel zarvite requirement per vuror
- Zarel navenn temm
- Intensify ennterference
- Enclord ennterference rorrisho
Affected neyel cayn negate luh efun entirely bah rebooting luhir parjom ohva successfully waking layn
Alvu busape gu SLFs
Pripal fohva: Pirates, gankers, piratees, gankees, etc

Wadiste Mepenva: Computer Cuha
Mittels a neyel per roda mundur-linn programs lam nizayn gu luhir computer laynside ol luh game. (Stuff selo TradeDangerouss comes per minae, ohva es-of-yata developed hooks ennper EDDB, ohva muuzoe yalapers, ohva ...), villa disint ennput/output visible enn a sep enn luh comms vinma (#2).

Manero ol ezicodapgu rodanable programs enncreases villa mepenva scgu (maxing layn ab lecro 3)

Pripal fohva: Everyonda. Luh har cases luhu havun enbale say crubebble.

Wadiste Mepenva: Comms Jammer
Projects a krerl lam karrs selo a Thargoid shutdown krerl.

Disables allo faims ol communicatigu enn a certaenn radius
