Oh Dear, Oh No

• make an option to disable all volumetric cloud rendering. it has been making lotsa content annoyingly laggy or outright unplayable for years (regardless of settings)
• make 3D rendering toggle persist across client restarts, like audio on/off does. perhaps make it a checkbox in Settings somewhere in addition to a keyboard shortcut
• unified account management portal based on email address (2FA required). auth accounts once then access/manage all associated accounts from one page
• dedicate like a fifth of the EVE budget to Karkur's Little Things initiative for at least twelve (12) consecutive quarters
• bring back Team Talos (the microbalancing & tiericide crew) and let them cook
• Settings button that shows all collision geometry somehow (translucent gray, wireframe, whatever)
  • it'd be really nice for players to be able to see & study these hidden models, given how consequential they can be to the mechanics of play
• Balkanize and Localize EVE and drastically curtail extant intel sources (4 parts)
  1. remove inbound Pochven filaments altogether. they are tremendously OP, allowing circumvention of nearly all travel risk
     • if they can't be removed altogether, at least make it so they only work if all the hull's bays/turrets/launchers are empty
     1. in the pre-filament era, the relative lack of convenient exfiltration from lots of KS meant pipes were more worth camping. EVE's system layout (astrography) was more important to know & consider
     2. the commonality of gatecamps increased the importance of scouting, requiring team play or at least 2-boxing
     3. more people (or even just characters) out in space meant more opportunities & reasons to bait and start escalation chains. more pew = more PvP enjoyment, more destruction, more production
  2. properly nerf Ansiblex Jump Bridges:
     • rename them back to Jump Gates and revert the "cannot jump if unable to warp" change
       • I don't mind this change much, but the inconsistency with stargate jumping behavior rankles and there's a more sensible Ansi nerf which should come along with this reversion:
     • further reduce model radius from 13 to 3 km to make them completely surroundable by 1 DIC bubble like half of all stargates (and scale down the model & collision geometry to match)
       • going from 13 to 7 was a good start, but it's not far enough
     • after nearly 8 years of tremendously-OP Ansiblexes warping the dynamics of sov null, FC have finally decided to try fixing them (my old suggestion preserved below, mostly crossed out)
       • add Ansiblex Enervation travel-gating mechanic. Jump Fatigue would work and I'm not opposed to it, but separately-tunable systems would be more flexible and allow for more interesting dynamics
         • Enervation could have different accumulation & decay mechanics and you could tweak how Enervation and Fatigue interact (to, for instance, discourage mixed bridge/conduit + Ansiblex use)
           • e.g. perhaps you entirely prevent bridging/conduiting if one has any Enervation and also make Fatigue increase Enervation accumulation so you have to choose between traversal methods
         • could make ship mass factor into Ansi use so the lightest hulls move around the local network fastest & vice-versa. could add Enervation-reducing rigs w/meaningful drawbacks
  3. kick Locator agents in the shins. they have no interesting counterplay (rolling new alts or parking characters outside KS is not "interesting")
     • increase their cost across the board x 500 (they're absurdly cheap) and their delays x 2 (they're much too fast)
  4. delay and reduce killmail intel
     • add distinct lossmails (hereafter LMs) which are exactly like current killmails (KMs). new KMs will have these changes:
       • they never show destroyed items or attackers' hulls or offensive modules
       • the Fitting and Content section is renamed to Content and contains only an alphabetical list of wreck contents (no more slot/bay layout info in KMs)
       • the Save Fitting and Simulate Fit buttons are removed
       • to appease the Big Numberwang crowd, total ISK value destroyed is retained
     • LM/KM notifications are instant, but to prevent OCR delay circumvention, they have no content until a delay is reached (see table). instead, they say e.g., "Details will come online in [MM:SS]"
       • click to show/hide table

         Security	delay (s)	delay (m s)
         1.0	✖	✖
         0.9	100	1 m 40 s
         0.8	200	3 m 20 s
         0.7	300	5 m
         0.6	400	6 m 40 s
         0.5	500	8 m 20 s
         0.4	600	10 m
         0.3	700	11 m 40 s
         0.2	800	13 m 20 s
         0.1	900	15 m
         0.0	1800	30 m
         JS	3600	60 m

     • by default, neither LMs nor KMs become available via ESI unless user puts a tick in a box on the KM/LM which says "Publish interaction details [in remaining delay time, if any]."
       • this tick box turns into a button after the delay is reached
     • 2 new check/tick box Settings options for auto-pushing LMs and KMs to ESI (they're still delayed, but player needn't tick "Publish interaction details" on each LM/KM if Settings option is ticked)
       • putting check in either box activates associated "Extra Delay" text input field which adds anywhere from 0 to 168 hours of additional delay until LMs or KMs appear in ESI
     • CEOs and Directors can see full LMs of all member pilots (after the delay). maybe also new role called "SRP inspector" which has this access
     • if victim pushes LM to ESI, associated KM auto-converts to LM
       • if victim never pushes LM, full content and item layout never appears publicly, and if final blow attacker also never pushes KM, no public record of kill exists
         • yes, players could conceivably obscure fits by putting extra stuff in cargo. that'd be funny
• in Route and general Search tool results: make NPC station results sortable by gate/Ansiblex jumps from current location (LY distance would also be cool, but gate distance is much more important)
• segregate Faction and Capsuleer corporations in search results. currently, if you search for e.g. CONCORD, there are 82 corp results but it's not clear which are RPers and which are NPC corps
  • if you wanna find out where to sell bloot/rloot/effects, buy/sell tags, exchange LP, etc, that's less than ideal
• Selected Item window:
  • add extra customizable Warp to Within and Orbit buttons, or perhaps two of each, and let us customize the colors as w/the new Neocom buttons
  • 2 new Selected Item window hamburger menu options to make Orbit or Warp to Within buttons always show the currently-set default range, and make the range orange if nonzero
    • the displayed text appears below the respective buttons
  • allow drag-and-drop repositioning of the buttons, along with a Lock Position option in the hamburger window
• allow extensive modification of the UI (custom window skinning, font selection & scaling, etc)
• add the same kind of partial-term, token-based prefix matching that works in the Market Browser to Contract & Route searches (and to Anything searches, if possible)
  • e.g. searching for "L HYP" in the Market Browser narrows the results to "Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I" and ~a dozen other items, and "LL HYP" (1 additional L) narrows them further
    • this is extremely useful to rapidly narrow results in search spaces with which one is already somewhat familiar
      • however, searching e.g. "TIS PRI" in the Anything/Route searches does not produce Serpentis Prime and all objects/characters which partially match that string
        • maybe the wider search spaces for those other objects precludes reasonably-fast partial token index searching? idk, I'm not a programmer. should at least be doable in Contracts
• nearest and/or most-frequently-searched autocomplete suggestions for search boxes (at least for systems, stations/structures, ships, modules, items)
• new Damage column in Inventory & Assets windows, shows heat damage for mods & usage damage for laser/miner crystals
• Launcher:
  • ability to sort Launch Groups by dragging & dropping
  • extra Control + F option: "Start an account for..." (to launch a character's account to starting screen if you can't remember which account it's on)
• in right-click menu for system/const/region/location: rename Copy to "Copy Link" (current functionality) and add new option below it called "Copy Plaintext" wot do wot it say
• touch Mobile Siphon units again to make 'em work on Metenox Moon Drills
• allow grouping of identical smartbombs (see also: remote reps/sebos/tracking comps, ewar modules)
  • there's probably even an argument to be made that, if the system can be made to treat grouped AoE weapons as a single calculation, game performance could be improved
• in text input fields, make double-click select clicked word and triple-click select entire line (this is already true of Notepad notes & chat windows, but not e.g. search fields or the New Location "Label" field)
  • related: the ability to drag systems/characters/etc into the aforementioned text input fields would be very nice
• settings option to remove trailing space after dragging linked names/systems to chat/Notepad (grr)
• Notepad improvements:
  • increase character limit of notes
  • monospace font option (would make tabular data readable in it)
    • better yet, let us change the font for the whole client (I'd much prefer e.g. Atkinson Hyperlegible)
  • shareable & click-and-drag-linkable Notepad notes
• new shared bookmark folder access tier: Use -copy (rename current Use to "Use +copy")
• Probe Scanner window:
  • allow recalling probes at any range. why is there a range limit? did people once generate lag by launching & recalling core probes from combat launchers or something? just timer recall if so
  • persist scan results & ignores across logout/login and client closures/launches [I suspect implementing this would stink, but it'd be so nice]
  • make hotkey-clicking and radial menu work on entries in this window (as it does if clicking warpables in overview or in space)
  • ability to save all 100% scanned Cosmic Signatures to individual bookmarks with one button (could cap this to ~25 location or whatever, if local or server performance are issues)
  • ability to drag saved probe formations into chats/notes & thus easily trade them
  • more than 10 saved Probe Formations - 20 would be nice
  • hotkeys for saved Probe Formations
• Solar System map:
  • remember camera position & orientation across close & relaunch of window (dear Bobbimus, please)
  • make hotkey-clicking work on objects in this window
  • new button called Focus Probes (focuses view on center of all currently-launched probes)
    • associated hotkey would be ace (also: would be nice if holding the hotkey and left-clicking a warpable centered probes & view there)
  • increase visual differentiation between Shared and Local bookmarks with color/saturation/size/whatever (they look too similar)
  • right-click option for "Center Probes on [object]" (also in overview and brackets in space). only for warpables like bookmarks, planets, beacons, structures, etc
  • add POCOs to it
  • allow filtering the objects it shows with dscan presets (would be much quicker than manually ticking/unticking things)
• New Location window: more expiry options! 16 & 24 hours would be nice for wormholersbtw; an arbitrary option like 1-168 hours would be super-nice
• increase character limit of bookmarks shown in the in-space right-click menu from 25 to ~50 (to be more in line with other such entries)
• Locations window:
  • extra radio tick option for "Remove Creator after 30 minutes" wot do wot it say
    • one commonly wants to share bookmarks without revealing the Creator
    • forcing Creator to appear for 30 minutes lets folks ID Shared Folder trolls
  • change to window mechanics: only characters with Manage or Admin access to a folder can see its Creator fields
  • ability to undo bookmark deletion (and/or a Recycle Bin sorta deal)
• ability to save & share multi-waypoint routes (e.g. click "Copy Route to Clipboard" button in Route tool and paste unique-colored link into chat/notepad; right-clicking the link gives "Set Route" option)
• make "Add as First Waypoint" also an option for systems/stations/structures in chats/notepad/broadcasts/map. currently exists only via right-clicking a gate in overview or in space (or via 3rd-party apps)
• fleet window:
  • new Fleet boss ship/class checklist which auto-moves selected ship classes to specified wing/squad positions. mockup
  • let us split the Broadcasts window from the Fleet window again please
• "make default" checkboxes beside Skins and Emblems in Personalization window, wot do wot they say
• more character-bound stats-derived Skins and/or Emblems which can be acquired no other way, e.g. "Anoikis Wanderer" = visit 1300 j-space systems, "Anoikis Wayfinder" for all 2603, etc
  • the AIR Career Program already tracks several interesting stat & rewards Skins, but there are many more possibilities: PvP damage dealt, PvP kills, NPCs killed, HP repped, LY jumped, etc
• play a warning sound if jumping into a system which is not onlined, or simply do away with this warning altogether and have the ship jump in once the system is onlined (DT crew checking in)
• for Bob's sake, stop auto-moving characters in space to their homes (instead, make this an optional screen takeover prompt that appears after x_days)
• settings option to start client with scene drawing disabled
• settings option to disable the auto-snap-to-bracket-width functionality for window resizing
• via Meiqur: new Rearm function below Multifit that removes any loaded charges/scripts & empties the cargo of selected assembled ships then refills cargo with that of a selected saved fitting
• two new right-click options for fitted hulls, both in the same section of the menu as (!) Strip Fitting: (!) Strip Fitting & Empty Cargo, and (!) Empty Cargo
• implant display at top-right, to the right of where timers show. Hovering lists all currently plugged-in implants.
• fixes for high-DPI displays (these are all things where using Large or Huge font size in Settings makes things weird):
  • make Show Info columns variable-width (it wraps & gets wonky with larger font size)
  • make the Bio tab of the Show Info window of characters & the Description tab of corps/alliances scale w/the Font settings
  • these things seem unaffected by font size changes:
    • Location (BM) folder headers
    • clock (Neocom set to max width to highlight tiny relative size)
  • move warp info up slightly (or, better yet, let us adjust its position in Moving Mode for Messages)
• HUD:
  • optional hotkeyable slots for boosters which can have boosters dragged into them from inventory
  • ability to toggle a black background behind HUD (i.e. between skybox and HUD). some places are so bright that it's hard to tell if modules are activated
• give trade stations at Amarr, Dodixie, and Rens (or Hek) a small but meaningful reduction in sales taxes and broker's fees. can give Jita lesser discount, but spreading & localizing trade is the goal
  • better solution: add 4 "commercial enclave" stations for each Empire, put one in the most central system of each Empire region and give them the discounts
    • alternatively, use the centers of larger cluster of regions/zones
• more than 5 color options for corp & personal standings
• Overview:
  • make list of filter presets scrollable (right-click an tab → Bracket Presets → Custom Filters) because the menu containing them can easily be made taller than the screen
  • button on bookmark folders/subfolders (like the current eye button) which makes contained bookmarks appear on the overview, complete with distance readouts
  • ability to filter arbitrary strings from specific tabs
  • if any Type is currently not part of any saved Filter, convert vertical dot (settings) button to an orange ! which on hover says "Types missing from Overview; click and check Filters tab"
    • Filters tab has a new box to the right of "Select filter to edit" which lists "Missing Types" which are removed from the box when they're added & saved to Filter
  • remove square brackets from Corporation and Alliance columns (precious wasted horizontal space) and use a monospace font for those columns
  • ability to customize padding between columns (wasted space)
  • ability to add subtle alternating colors to uncolored rows (but dear Bob, don't add borders to rows & waste vertical space)
  • option to disable distance rounding and/or set rounding points (would be nice for nerds like me who care about accurate measurements)
• more hotkeys:
  • Probe Scanner window: Recover Active Probes (currently only a UI button)
  • Probe Scanner window: Reconnect to Lost Probes (currently only a UI button)
  • Probe Scanner window: Center current formation on your ship (currently only a UI button)
  • Solar System Map: Focus Current Location (currently only a UI button)
  • set minimum non-zero speed (perhaps user-configurable)
  • increment speed one position (eleven 10% throttle positions from 0% speed up to 100% speed)
  • decrement speed one position
  • increment speed by [user-configurable m/s]
  • decrement speed by [user-configurable m/s]
• prevent CONCORD Rogue Analysis Beacons from anchoring within 500 km of wormholes
• logi on killmails via assist-only "Marker" drone. tiny sig rad & damage, 300 km optimal, ~5 s RoF, 0.2 m³ volume, 1 mbit/s bandwidth. separate assist cap (50) & separate fixed control range (300 km)
  • 23 subcaps get a new 2 m³ marker bay (markers can't be placed in main drone bays) & +2 mbit/s bandwidth to hold 10 & assist 2 without changing pre-existing drone capabilities
  • if drone weapon systems can be made to not autorepeat, that'd reduce calcs from these & let their RoF be much higher w/low lag penalty (would only shoot triggered targets once)
  • also not sure if this can be made to work in Empire space with the timer/aggression mechanics
    • maybe it only works on safety yellow? maybe the drone attack is a new separate category of aggression which shows on KMs but doesn't trigger any timers?
      • this won't become the new whoring method dejure (love me some Odyssey 2049) because it's an assist-only drone: it can't be directly commanded to attack
• ability to copy all names from Watchlist to clipboard and paste linked names into a Notepad note, and vice-versa (and/or ability to simply drag multiple highlighted names from Watchlist to a note)
  • alternatively/additionally: Save Watchlist option in hamburger menu with associated window of reloadable saved watchlists (with option to overwrite dupe named WLs)
    • bonus: saved watchlists repopulate DCs and new joins without having to do anything
    • bonus: saved watchlists are tradeable via click-and-drag links
    • bonus: also save color settings
• reduce lock range of all non-carrier NPCs to 300 km, excepting CONCORD/etc (ranges sensibly individualized to NPC roles would be better, but simply lowering all non-carriers to 300 would be ace)
• reduce Mobile Depot reinforcement period from 48 to 4 hours
• add ability to pay ISK in Contracts when using the multi-contract tool (i.e. the "assembled hulls" mode)
• right-click option for modules in Fitting window called Swap With which presents list of appropriate modules in cargo, item hangar or depot. left-clicking an option swaps the mods (and empties contents)
• move bracketsAlwaysShowShipText=1 from prefs.ini into the client as a settings option (require restart if necessary)
• View Outside for NPC stations
• T2 shuttles: tank of a Council Diplomatic Shuttle, 0 cargo capacity, warps at 0.5 AU/s, but autopilot warps to 0
• inventory:
  • ability to split stacks into arbitrarily-many stacks (i.e. "Split into x_number of stacks"). could cap or rate-limit this if it could be abused
  • add inventory columns for "Blueprint Material Efficiency" and "Blueprint Time Efficiency"
  • add a folded corner (or something) to further visually differentiate BPCs from BPOs. maybe also add "copy" to the item name of all copies
  • right-click toggle option for containers in hangars called "Lock Against Repackaging"
    • a "Hide from Inventory" option would be even better, so one can make sorting containers appear only only in the Index drop-downs
    • also, non-audit log and non-password variants of station containers would be swell
• allow contracting of Blueprints from Industry window's Blueprints tab
• add "copying" to the Advanced Industry skill's description so it reads e.g. "3% reduction in all manufacturing, research, and copying times" (the current description doesn't indicate that copying is affected)
• ability to remotely stack items via the Personal Assets window (split already exists)
• uncap the number of rentable offices in NPC stations
  • a cap on rental bills might also be in order; the rent is too DAMN high! (that's assuming there's anything to rent, of course)
• Show Info window: add parenthetical duration of corporations' stays in alliances to their Alliance History tabs (to match characters' stays in corporations in their Employment History tabs)
• in the Reset Settings section of the Escape menu: disambiguate that hot mess and sort it reasonably!
  • clarify & standardize! for instance, cluster settings of the type, "Warn me with a popup if:"
    • "I'm about to delete a saved Location"
    • "I'm about to destroy plugged-in implants by death cloning"
    • "I'm about to jump into EDENCOM-influenced territory"
    • "I'm about to jump into Sansha-influenced territory in Low-Security or Null-Security space"
    • "I'm about to jump into Trigavian-influenced territory"
• figure out what, exactly, we can't do while warping. make midwarp messages reflect in-game circumstances (e.g. "Jump command canceled/queued," "Docking request canceled/queued")
• ability to add more than one character at a time to an ACL (e.g. with CSV in clipboard)
• ability to pre-populate the history (i.e. autocomplete fill options) of the Search tool with a list of characters/structures/systems/items (e.g. with CSV in clipboard)
  • same thing for other input fields, i.e. the New Location (bookmark) window, Route tool, Contract window, Delivery window, Market window, ACL Add Members window, etc
  • would be nice if the autocomplete fill options were just saved to a folder in \Documents\EVE (where screenshots and chat logs already are)
• ACL-based:
  • fleet visibility (i.e. in the Open Fleet to section of the Create Advert window, accessible ACLs become a tickable option)
  • chat channels (maybe add a new ACL mode to the Default Access drop-down of the Channel Configuration window which lets you add accessible ACLs)
  • Fitting Management groups
  • standings lists
  • wallets [I know this'd be a PITA to implement, but it'd be nice]
  • hangars [I know this'd be a PITA to implement, but it'd be nice]
• bring starter filaments (T0 Tranquils) back to starter space (0.9 and 1.0 security) and push the rest farther down. proposed changes - FC added T0s to all space w/the Exordium update
• option to enable an extra confirmation popup if destroying implants when death cloning. maybe the second warning plays the hull alarm sound and asks, "REALLY DESTROY THESE IMPLANTS?"
• indicate warp invulnerability at the top-left. "unlockability" is a better term since one is actually vulnerable to AoE damage during warp (and during deceleration)
• show remaining m³ available in cargo holds/containers and allow copying all these values to clipboard via right- or double-click. e.g. "3,419.27/13,05.78 (9,63853 remaining)"
• buy DOTLAN from Wollari (or SMT from Slazanger) and integrate it into the client, or contract an astrometrist to build them in-house (must be thousands of them looking for work, amirite?)
• ability to batch edit bookmark labels, perhaps with regex conditions (could have a separate interface for this so it can't be abused for lag)
  • I realize this is a niche thing for hoarders & sellers, but it'd be an absolute godsend for weirdos with many thousands of BMs (not that I know any such people)
• new Infomorph Diffusion skill. rename Elite Infomorph Psychology to Advanced Infomorph Diffusion. these 2 skills expand the capacity of a jumpclone vat
  • only 1 vat may be installed at any station/structure. ID & AID increase total clone capacity of vats, 2 clones per level (yes, total JC capacity per character increases to 20)
  • Infomorph Psychology now increases the total number of vats which may be installed, one per level (one level remains accessible for Alphas)
  • Advanced Infomorph Psychology removed & SP refunded. all characters can now have 1 jumpclone vat by default, 2 if Omega, for a new cap on vat locations of 2 or 7 (currently it's 1 or 15)
    • 15 is too many! characters with more than 2 or 7 pre-existing jump clone locations will be unable to jump to other stations until they bring their sprawl below 2 or 7
• new Infomorph Regeneration skill: Omega only. requires AID level 4 (AID remains a 12x skill). enables a "Regenerative Mode" toggle switch in the JC window which, if toggled on:
  • reduces the JC cooldown by an additional 180 minutes per level (for a new 4-hour minimum) at the cost of only having 3 vats available
    • Regenerative Mode can only be enabled if 3 or fewer vats exist & prohibits installation of > 3 (diffusion capacity remains accessible up to trained cap)
      • 7-day spool-up, 4-month cooldown, 1 b ISK fee to swap modes
• reduce uninteresting outmoded tedium with skills & attributes:
  • remove remapping and combine all attributes into a single Neuroplasticity value at 25 points. keep implants/boosters at current values (SP/hour would be unchanged)
  • remove 30% buy-and-inject convenience fee for skillbooks. could remove NPC skillbook sell orders and phase school-derived books out or keep them around
    • sourcing of dropped and LP-derived skillbooks will remain unchanged
• move all mission/anomaly/incursion popup text into Local chat, or make an option in settings to make this the default behavior
• increase cost of Asset Safety. HS: 5% then 20%, LS: 10% then 35%, NS: 15% then 50%. could alternatively scale it based on lightyear distance of delivery
• a more advanced corporation logo generator; something a bit less aughties. see also: all the old NPC faction & corporation logos (the new ones are cool, though)
• modules, etc:
  • make Mobile Observatories only work on covert cloaks. I pondered an overcomplicated scripts-in-cloaks method, but I don't think it's worthwhile.
    click to show/hide it

    • make Cloak Stabilization, Mobile Observatories and Strong Veilguard only apply to Covert Ops cloaks and give non-covert cloaks 1-hour cycle times
    • non-covert cloaks gain 1 m3 capacities and can load & consume Penumbral Modulator Nanite Paste which, if consumed, apply drug-like unmitigable debuffs to the hull
      • paste stats: 0.01 m3, multiplies cloak cycle time x24. 24-hour hull debuffs: cannot unfit modules or be repackaged, polarized, -50% shield, armor & hull HP, -99% Scan Resolution
  • new Prototype Cynosaural Field Generator: same stats as standard but: polarizes hull (on or offline),
    cannot be unfitted in spaceeither via flag or by being 250,001 m3 unpackaged
    , can be fitted to all hulls < BC except haulers & corvettes
  • give the Oneiros and Scimitar two extra mid slots which can only fit Remote Tracking Computers and Remote Sensor Boosters and a 15% reduction in activation cost per Logistics level
    • give the T3C Support subsystems one such slot + the bonuses (Tengu can have 8 mids w/Support sub tho, so that sub would need some rework)
  • introduce Remote Missile Guidance Computers (and hulls w/dedicated RTC slots can also fit them & get relevant bonus). these would require too much ecosystem-wide balancing work, but c'mon
  • new Siege Modulator rigs for Dreadnoughts: reduce activation time to 60/50 seconds & stront use by 80/85%, gives 22/25% of Siege module's turret & missile damage bonuses
    • irreducible drawbacks of polarization and 20% reduction of shield/hull/armor HP. I know this is stupid, but I still want something like this
  • give Meta 6+ Medium and Heavy Capacitor Boosters 40 and 160 m3 capacity, respectively, rather than the 32 and 128 of Meta 0-5 (if deemed necessary, change activation time a pinch to compensate)
  • new modules unique to underutilized/fringe faction LP stores:
    1. Thukker Interdiction Nullifier: reactivation delay of 50 s
       • reduce reactivation delay of T2 Interdiction Nullifier to 70 s. new Restrained variant at 85 s
    2. Thukker Passive Nullifier: highslot,
       cannot be unfitted in spaceeither via flag or by being 250,001 m3 unpackaged
       • debuffs if fitted (on or offline): -99% scan res, targeting range, all cargo/hangar/bay capacities (including drone bays and fleet hangars)
       • old Chemo & travelceptors were unnecessarily spanked by the nulli changes; this would revive them without overpowering other hulls
    3. Syndicate Interdiction Sphere Launcher: 16 m³ capacity, 50 second reload, 90 CPU
    4. Hypertrophied Warp Disrupt Probe: range 23.5 km, volume 8 m³, HP 1,130, from Syndicate LP like Surgical probes. extra HP means most SBs (except the priciest) need 1 extra cycle to kill them
       • reduce Surgical probe volume to 4 m³. Syndicate launcher will hold 2 Hypertrophied, 3 normal, 4 Surgical or 5 web probes, whereas normal launchers will hold 1/3/3/5
    5. Mordu's Legion Remote Missile Guidance Computer, Missile Guidance Computer & Missile Guidance Enhancer: increased velocity bonuses, but T2 equivalent for flight time and application
    6. Khanid Navy Remote Missile Guidance Computer, Missile Guidance Computer & Missile Guidance Enhancer: increased application bonuses, but T2 equivalents for flight time & velocity
    7. Khanid Navy Stasis Grappler: T2 stats except: 120 powergrid, 15 CPU, 10,500 m falloff. would fit Khanid brawly theme & mirror the Khanid web's stats
    8. Ammatar Navy Signature Radius Suppressor (since Minmatar are shield/armor hybrid tankers)
    9. Ammatar Navy Reactive Armor Hardener? because they wanna please their armor-tanking slaver overlords?
• wormhole changes:
  • new category of scannable wormhole site. 2 randomly spawn in these systems in Great Wildlands, Stain, Syndicate, and Venal (50 systems in each, none within 2 jumps of other regions)
    • named NPCs in 3 JFs guarded by appropriate hulls, near small structure which gives timered tether (2 minutes + 5 m cooldown). NPcs are in Thukker Mix, True Power, Intaki Commerce and Guristas
      • site names, respectively: Thukker Wandering Caravan, True Slave Traffickers, Intaki Dealbrokers, Guristas Fences. scanning difficulty Level V (104 probe strength minimum required to scan down)
      • JFs pay 1-10% extra for blue loot, red loot, and overseer's effects (randomized). JFs have deposit interfaces like Upwell structures with a readout that indicates the type of loot and the premium paid
    • warpin (invisible beacon at zero on the signature) is 500 km above structure. site plays warning that structure offers temporary tether, and its tether has conspicuous countdown once it initiates
      • moving outside tether range begins the cooldown, visible on the structure itself like polarization on a wormhole
    • sites have two S199s opposite each other, 500 km from small structure, leading to randomly-picked systems in one of the other 3 of the 4 NPC regions
      • if rolled, they do not respawn. they can be bookmarked then warped to (like Pochven holes). sites are not deadspaced
    • sites live for 16 hours after the first warp is initiated to them and respawn 20 minutes after despawning, and they naturally despawn & respawn after 7 days unwarped
  • two-pronged fix for C13s/tripnulls. they're only accessible by frigholes but frighole life was nerfed from 16 h to 4.5 due to krab/evictor whining, so C13s lost their onramp/newbie/small-group usefulness:
    1. give C13s 6 new static frigholes with these differences from the old ones: 24 hr lifespan, 148,000 tonnes total throughput, no regen, no dormancy (i.e. life timer activates on respawn, not on first warp)
       • also, change A009 to these new stats (the no dormancy thing is to ensure these systems aren't stagnant)
       • new hole names could just be incremented one number higher than the old ones (A009 retains its name as it only connected to C13s originally)
    2. new Mini Mass Multiplier module (like a mini reverse-ZPME), fits only Interdictors, active stats:
       • ignores wormhole minimum jump mass, reduces fitted armor plate mass to 0, +1100% Mass Modifier
       • -95% Maximum Velocity Bonus, -90% Afterburner and Microwarpdrive Maximum Velocity Bonus, -90% Afterburner and Microwarpdrive Thrust Bonus
    • note 1: rolling mass of 1/5MN DICs would be between 40,800 & 44,400 tonnes, so 4 hot ins/outs or 2 hot duo ins/outs to collapse. they're also below Medium hole individual mass, so no changes there
      • you could also solo these with any overpropped DIC by going in cold and coming out hot
    • note 2: would fit 41 Confessors (heaviest destroyer) in & out on average spawn, assuming random mass fuzzing of up to + or - 10%, or 95 Daredevils (lightest frigate) - seems reasonable for C13 content
      • here's a crappy spreadsheet I cooked up to play around with the numbers involved
    • FOR THE LOVE OF BOB, DO NOT GET RID OF THE FRIGHOLES THAT CURRENTLY EXIST. JS should always be subject to random unrollable connections, krabs & evictors be damned!
  • split Types which currently have multiple origin classes to allow more finely-tuned changes (thinking of e.g. event-specific wormhole distribution alterations):
    1. make S199 only NS→NS, N944 only LS→LS, B449 only LS→HS, Z971 only LS→C1, R943 only LS→C2, X702 only LS→C3, N432 only LS→C5, U319 only LS→C6
    2. eight new KS→JS wandering holes to separate the existing ones; five NS→C1, C2, C3, C5, and C6 and three HS→C1, C2 and C3 (same stats as their current equivalents; HS→C5/C6 already exist)
    3. new LS→NS wormhole to replace current LS→NS S199; +75% current frequency of LS→NS S199; same mass & transit as S199
    4. new NS→LS wormhole to replace current NS→LS N944; +25% current frequency of NS→LS N944; same mass & transit as N944
    5. new NS→HS wormhole to replace current NS→HS B449; +5% current frequency of NS→HS B449; same mass & transit as V283
  • change frequency of Types:
    1. +8% S199 [as against current rate of NS→NS S199 only]
    2. +7% Z142, C248, E587 (C5/C6→NS)
    3. +6% C140, C391, V898 (C5/C6→LS)
    4. +5% five new NS→JS holes [as against current rate of NS→JS wanderers only], L031 (NS→Thera)
    5. +4% Z971, R943, X702, N432, U319 (LS→JS) [as against current rate of LS→JS wanderers only], M164 (LS→Thera)
    6. +3% N944 (LS→LS) [as against current rate of LS→LS N944 only]
    7. +2% three new HS→C1-C3 holes [as against current rate of HS→C1-C3 wanderers], R051, V283, M555, B041, T458 (HS→LS/NS/C5/C6/Thera)
    8. +1% A641, B449, D792, B520, Q063 (HS/LS/C5/C6/Thera→HS)
  • six new static holes in Zarzakh; three to Pochven, two to tripnulls (C13) and one to shattered C2 (can make these spawn on beacons like Unis instead of needing to scan the Zarzakh side)
    • Pochven: 1,000,000 tonnes of throughput, 410,000 tonnes max hull mass, 16 hour life, random respawn timer between 10 and 30 minutes
    • tripnull: mass-regenning frighole, 5,000 tonnes max hull mass, 16 hour life, respawn timer 60 seconds
    • shattered C2: 750,000 tonnes of throughput, 375,000 tonnes max hull mass, 24 hour life, random respawn timer between 10 and 30 minutes
  • new reverse-static medium Thera→Pochven wormhole; patrolled by SoE in Thera and Sleepers in Poch; can appear in any Pochven system; same mass & transit as C729
  • new static Thera→JS C3-class wormholes to each class of JS (roughly according to prevalence, e.g. one C6, two C1s, and three each C2-C5) 500 k, 2 m or 3 m tonnes depending on destination
  • two new holes associated w/Sansha Incursions which occur in up to 5 pairs (1 per Inc). 410 k tonne limit (Bowheads & smaller). JS side is camped by Inc rats (same comps as LS/NS HQ gatecamps)
    • every active Incursion constellation always has the K162 of one of these holes in one of its systems (random). the named side is always in one of the 3 shattered Sansha C4s
    • other hole of a pair always spawns on the same grid with its twin, ~1000 km away, pointing to a random Stain system. pair shares one mass pool of 10 million kg, rolling & respawning as one
    • any given pair stays together in the same C4 for the duration of the associated incursion. links spread between the C4s so you don't get one C4 with all five incs linked to it (max is 2 links per C4)
