Im working on some new bosses (currently 3, might become more later) and to motivate people into actually fighting them I want some new items for them to drop.

So what Im looking for is suggestions on a specific item that you feel the game is lacking or that would be good/fun to have.

You dont have to make up complete stats or anything, just some rough idea of what you would like it to be. Like for example high bank/low regen stealth shield (might already exist, just a example).

Bule Stethl, just...beef the thing

Me says: Ask Churchill
But on a side note i'd like to see some low RoF weps, like the RoP and PD line.

Some mid level SD stuff could work. Not sure what though apart from a new mag.

Sniper content would be nice

Low or 0 vis sniper only energy/shield with lotsa bank?

Low vis sniper only strong engine?

Mini-Delquad

I dont really want to make class locked gear, it doesnt really fit with the kind of content Im making. Especially not sniper gear.

Capital ship only gears? i think i can count the number of capship only items on one hand... auras, fighterbays, the capship CR, capital lasers, and the capship hull expander.
So, capship only rad weapon? capship shield with high bank low regen? capship energy... yeah dunno if we need another unless its gonna be between CR and capship CR in stats (or, if you're feeling generous, above capital CR ) Capital... charger? overloader? UZ has those for all other types except capship.
Other ideas... nope, im out for now. cheers.

Well its hard to make items that would drop from a boss without knowing a little about the boss and what kind of classes would work best against them.

but to throw a couple more out there,

shield vamps (not a whole lotta damage but a shm could use it to outlast most opponents)

Engines that can boost you up to 200% speed, but the direction it thrusts rotates thus making it impossible to ap with.

Better pest controls of all kinds, including fire extinguishers. But make them have downsides, so you cant just leave them on all the time. Like massive elec costs, or something.

Doing so would allow for the introduction of much more powerful parasites, such as huge fires, and also make it so basil spit can actually be eaten before it eats you.

How about shields that give resists to certain damage types? An extra diffuser, essentially.

i might think of more later.

Ship BP's.

Weapons!!!

KaBoomerang, a mag with furtherance and good tracking and range. The idea is you fire a ton at your enemy and they swarm about dealing damage every time they cross over the target. A physical damage type would be awesome as it would knock the target about in all directions and the crit effect would just be awesome annoying as 10 or so shots accumulate on the target.

Fueled weapons, low-medium recoil, high damage, long range, low tracking beam weapons. Concept is basically a chemical laser or a particle beam that would require a commodity to fire at a decent rof.

Some new missile types. Perhaps one that acts as 3 projectiles per missile that fan out so they might not all get killed by the collision code. When i think missiles in space I think just a crazy amount of them like MFed excomms or something. Need some new launchers for HF, LF and Freighter. A nuke missile that has high shields and high damage and splash but you can only carry one at a time.

A doomsday weapon that just sends out a wave of damage in all directions with like a 30 sec recoil. Would be awesome in pvp.

Some more dual damage type weapons would be cool, ones that combine interesting crit effects.

Do physical beam weapons have knock back? if not make an ohl like one that does.

Chain shot weapons

Other Stuff!!!, latters

Besides Fueled Chemical Lasers, Ammo requiring Artillery*, Rail Guns*, and Lasers like Star Trek. We have missiles, missile crates, and missile factories.

*How hard is it to make a hotkeyed gun with a set recoil do that?
