And don't even get me started on what its like trying to use my massif 3 with the travel field.... There needs to be a better way to stop people from using travel fields than making them so squishy zebucart can 1v1 them. Just the idea of -300% resists. I'd put on my pirate cap and just go kill some people because it'd be more than easy. I'd suggest having the -hull bonus is a good idea with a 1min cooldown. It'd stop people leveling in them but not make that person useless everywhere else. In short very very /notsigned _________________ Jeff_L wrote: Julian came in drunk and shot the server hamster.

Most things you would want to go to in Perilous are no more than 10 jumps from the hub. That's not to mention that Olympus Entrance, one of the most popular Peri-space destinations for endgame players, has a big fat drone in it that will be happy to poke your -300% resistance ship when it lands there unattended. More juxtas means more places for pirates to hang out; everyone wins. I just remembered as well that certain ships already have inbuilt aura generators and wouldn't be able to uses these fields. That's bollocks to begin with but yet another good reason why this is a bad idea. Add -100% drone ops? _________________ "Just wait till' I get my hermes..." Jiraque wrote: It's a seer thing.

The weapon disconnect would happen with the overhulling. It is not currently possible to prevent drone/fighter deployment (might be in the future) but again, since you are overhulled you would not be able to recover them and have -300%~ resists. I like the -drone ops idea.

It should be just for getting from one place to the other but while being squishy. You should not be able to go around the squishiness with stealth. That would make it way OP and used for recon instead of travel. _________________ JeffL wrote: ASS Device? Visorak wrote: We aren't paid to innovate. We aren't paid to do things the easy way.
