Re: Traveling Fields
Then its not good for other people. Dont be an idiot, the only classes that could use an item like that is DM, and Engi? The rest are stealthy....you must be stupid. Because DMs and Engis can never get close to stealth.
Gtfo, bad logic.

Re: Traveling Fields
The idea is that they are used purely for travel. Allowing a class to be stealthy and still get the +70 speed opens the possibility of abusing the field for recon purposes.
As a seer, you don't need to fire a single shot to gather intel on movements of enemies, especially enemies that would one shot you regardless. You follow them around and hope they dont deploy drones/go to a red giant galaxy.
It would make it easier for a seer to find roaming ubers or to trail people for pirating. That is not travel from point A to point B for the purpose of going to do a run or dg with teammates.
So, the field would have a whole load of nasty debuffs to prevent the abuse of using it indirectly for combat. If you want speed and seer, either aug for speed, use a speed shield, or shut up and get over the fact you're not fast.
Every (SS related suggestion) topic that you post in has at least one post that attempts to beef seer. For whatever reason, it will not work. Your religious fervor towards seer would serve to only nerf it in the end, as AEM did when you started to spout off about needing a Lincin for combat.
AEM would never have noticed the semi-exploit if you had not mentioned it.
And Enkelin has pointed out that Seer is not the "class that can kill anything". So shut up. You want a specific stat, you aug for or or use a different ship. Don't like the puny hull of a DS/Panther? Get an AWC/AgH. Still don't like that hull? Use a Caly+ aug. Don't want to use a Caly+? Get a ZFE/XmasSpirit.
Nothing is a perfect ship, and neither will this travel field be. So quit while you're ahead before Matthias nerfs seer.

Quote: The basic idea being you can get where you are going a lot fast and besides a predetermined amount of downtime at the destination, are good to go without having to rely on an ShM. This would also open up anyone traveling under the field's influence to very easy pirating considering how bad your resists would be along with being unable to fire any weapons. The field fits the basic idea of increasing speed to decrease travel times, but also reduces your ability to defend yourself. Don't like it? Either don't use it or live with the debuffs. My seer won't need to use it. 27k shields and 240 speed. Probably because I did something with my setup to allow me freedom of not needing it.

Re: Traveling Fields
You say it'd decrease travel time but only if your travelling from sol to... sol. Everywhere else would be too dangerous and you'd just end up dying and wasting your time in a pod. Doesn't matter what class you are, your still going to die.

Re: Traveling Fields
70 extra speed, for ships that already go 130, is jack shit.
i mean, your point is technically valid, but who gives a fuck if seers can go a tiny bit faster? they do it at the cost of not being able to fire, which is bad for them if they get an opportunity for a kill. and they also have the problem of much worse resists, which makes them much much easier to kill.
if a seer wants to use the travel field for recon, by all means let them. it lets them go a tiny bit faster in exchange for being ALOT easier to kill.

Re: Traveling Fields
Add +vis if you disconnect AP? Then the recon is limited a bit anyhow.
Would use a travelfield if no vis was added during AP.

Re: Traveling Fields
stupid idea. Could work though if it gave 50 speed and -99% shield, energy, dmg, and -200% resist lasting 2-5 minutes after you unequip it.

Re: Traveling Fields
Travel mode. No auras, just travel mode(as a mechanic, not an item). Essentially would mean +vis -resists +speed +thrust +turning -99% damage -99% crit chance and power -99% drone ops maybe some more debuffs like -shield reg
Changing back to combat mode takes 15 seconds to 2 minutes(Up to devs ofc)
