Matter Scanner Module

Name: Matter Scanner

Type: Active Module

Role: Multipurpose (all classes)

Description: “Activates an amazingly powerful, though short-ranged scanner that can sometimes even copy blueprints of entire ships!”

Active range: 1000m

Energy consumption: 80pt/s.

Requires Line of Sight.

Taking hull damage stops scanning process.

Use: To activate this module, you must have a lock on your target and be within 1000 meters. After a certain amount of time, (varies by ship) the beam will change from white to a different colour to show you when a blueprint has been copied. After the beam has changed colour, destroying the targeted ship will sometimes (~25%) yield a blueprint. Blueprints obtained are either weapon, secondary weapon, module, or ship, with weapon and ship being the least likely. Ship blueprints are only obtainable from ships that you cannot buy in the store.

***Blueprint for this module must be found in wreckage from powerful ships in invasion, and is not dropped by mysterious containers.***

Crafting this module is very costly and requires vast amounts of resources including processing blocks, screened batteries, and also a CPU Package.

This module, once crafted, can be applied to any ship of any class in Tier 5.

*****Has no effect in PvP*****

When locked on to a player and activated, this module does a steady 100 white damage per second while making the target visible and lockable to all friendly ships at any range.

I propose all of this as a counter-measure to premium players, as any player that can kill high-level enemies and has a Tier 5 ship can use it. It is also very grindy to get because it yields great rewards and I just know that the devs will hate every player in existance to have one. :wink:

Comments? Concerns? Edits? Animal sacrifices?

*finds TheDarkRedFox in open space afk farming karma, Fires this module, steals blueprints*

this would only ever be useful in invasion, give it features that make it useful in other modes (spatial scanner for example) and then i might back the idea

What blueprints? Oh, you mean the ones I’ve already memorized? Good luck with that.

*****Has no effect in PvP*****

it needs to have an effect that isn’t just for invasion. Spatial scanner has a crit increase, give people a reason to use it other than blueprints.

Copying ships just by looking at them? That’s been already invented. It is called Transformer. :slight_smile:

+1 goes for your creativity though.

It needed to happen somehow! XP

And I still haven’t gotten my Hunter yet!

Nice touch, a 1/4 A1MA, nothing too drastic

I would be happy with only 1 change. A1MA mark IV instead of silly mark I.

100 white damage per second

Better? And it also acts like spy drones, except it has very low range and needs LoS and constant energy use. Also it doesn’t damper regen, it just does a little bit of damage.

And this isn’t a thread aboot A1MA… Tho I would like it to be purple or something other than white. I suggested upgrades, but the idea seems to have been trashed.

They should at least make it upgradable.

Each upgrade level should decrease cooldown time, or maybe increase some radius as well.
