I love having cool, unique modules and weapons that I can use on any ship! There’s just something about using them that is just so cool!!! But the current lack of unique crafted items is quite a letdown…
So just in case you guys down at programming were having trouble brainstorming new items, I’ve come up with a few for you! (Also hopefully the comments will fill up with cool ideas too!)
Name: Leecher Pulse
Type: Multipurpose Active Module
Ranks: Tier 4-5
Upgrades: None, is purple.
Energy: 200pt
Cooldown: 24s
Tooltip: Damages nearby enemies in a 1,500m radius by 500 EM/Kin each second for 12s. 1/2 of damage dealt is transferred back to the user as shield/hull regen.
Example: If enemy has shields up, it damages shields for EM, but if only hull is left, it damages the hull for Kinetic.
Animation: Red pulses are sent out from any entity within range, to the user, like a pulsar in reverse.
2)*
Name: Magnetic Resonator Field
Type: Multipurpose Active Module
Ranks: Tier 4-5
Upgrades: None, is purple.
Energy: 30pt/s
Tooltip: Creates a multiplicative phase resonance between nearby allies in a 1,000m radius, so that their shield power is shared.
What it does: 1/2 of the max natural shield regeneration capabilities, and 1/20 of shield resistances are added to every ship within range of the host.
Example: host ship has 100pt/s regen and 20pt resist on everything. One allied ship enters the AoE with 100pt/s regen and 20pt resist on everything. Both ships now have 150pt/s regen and 21pt resist. It rewards teams that stay together and help eachother.
