Remote Repair Modules

Alright, I got a suggestion to encourage ships being used for purposes other than "Tank damage, shoot shit", "Dodge damage, shoot shit", or "Mine stuff, get shot". Remote repair modules! Choose from a Remote Shield Infuser, Remote Armor-Fixing Nanite Swarm, or Remote Hull Repair! (for the abundance of hull tankers). Give em' a target core (cause a aim vector would be purposeless), and engage them! Watch as a hastily made particle effect emerges from them and bathes the target (or aims 90 degrees away from the target if we can get Brandon to code it). Finally, wonder as the receiving ship's core is repaired at greater effectiveness and lower capacitator cost than if the target did it with their own upgrades! Perfect for the caring player.

They'd need some exploit protection, though. No repairing your own stuff, as someTHELone could just stick one inside their hull and make it even easier for their cruiser to out-regenerate everything. And even if they did have proper EVE-style repair drones for their ship (which, in EVE, also can't be used on yourself), they'd be about one cadet's dickwidth in size and applyForce round the ship at about Mach Fuck, making them impossible to hit and shit for the SV. See? I plan for everything. Of course, some two cockmates could just put some remote repair drones inside each other's ship, but that'd probably be justification enough to phase inside and see if the repairbots can fix a fully-functional fusion nuke.

Bring on the logistics!

    This was already an idea a while ago. Instead of a cone-effect, though, it was a beam, and it could not repair the core it was linked to.

    What he said.
    This is a block of text that can be added to posts you make. There is a 255 character limit.

    As factions come into play this would be more useful than ever, as it would give stations in a fleet a purpose outside of "sit there and hold my ore." So +1 for this idea


    Also, it can't just be me that finds Lambda's posts fucking hilarious

    Lambda217: oh oh i am kanzuke and i love my little pony and now i'll make all the brandonphysics myself cause i know fuckin everything because now i'll make a big pony fighter drone squad and a big fuckin portal ship and i am a fuckin idiot

    Oh my god, I couldn't stop fucking laughing. I still laugh. Now my sides hurt. Excuse me while I grab 2 liters of water.
    Every Human Being has some capacity for evil. It's just that some Humans have a greater capacity for evil than others.

    Do not necro-post if you are not going to add anything of worth.
