We need some way to set up orders with specific people even if they are not online. I think that that would make the market move better as well. It doesn't have to be contracts just some way to put out orders for people not online. Buy orders are nice but not always the best way especially for more rare objects.

I was wondering if maybe we could get some kind of equipment that would allow a robot to climb steeper hills. Some Ideas include a short range jump jet. Spikes on the bottom of feet/treads.

I think this would be helpful because it would provide a new dimension to pvp. People would be able to climb instead of running. It would also allow for a group to better use terrain. We have so much terrain differences but a lot of it doesnt get used. I would like to see the ability to use it. I could see a problem with people using lwf and these because it would just be another way to not get caught. So maybe instead only allow one or the other.

So I came up with this idea in another thread and decided I wanted to make it its own thread.

I think one thing that would be a nice addition to this game would be some kind of command mech. Here is what I mean by that.

For one thing it is designed for surveillance and Nexus modules.
Its sole purpose would be to be a mobile op center.
I think that it should have some way to get a better view of the battlefield. Some ideas for how to make this work include.

• A above battlefield satelite view of surrounding area based on skills. Maybe have a way to jam them in certain areas as well in order to counter it.

• A recon drone/drones that would allow you to scout out areas (these could also be used on scout ships.) These drones would have to be destructible.

• A tall pole or antenna that could be raised up when not moving and would allow you to see a greater area.

• A wireless network between robots within your squad that would allow a ship such as a command ship that can fit the proper module to see on there radar screen, or a special screen, the same thing that squad members see.(maybe make this limited by range so you have to have bots in between you and the farthest guy or it cannot reach you.)

• There are many other ideas that you could include to make this work. But with all of them using it should make you vulnerable in some way. Such as not being able to move. Or maybe your signal masking decreases significantly.

As far as balancing goes I have a few ideas on that as well.

• Make the mech very slow

• Either give it heavy armor or the ability to hide but not both.

• Do not give it weapon slots it is purely a support vehicle designed for command purposes.

• Make it vulnerable when it uses its field viewing ability.

• Allow it to hold multiple Nexus mods and give it bonuses for them

• Make the ship itself expensive but make the use out way the costs.

• Make it extension intensive this should be something that if you want to do you put a lot of time into similar to ewar.

• Do not allow it to use field viewing and signal masking simultaneously.

Obviously this is not a complete list of ideas but I think that a class of ship like this would be very useful. It would also put a lot more strategy into PVP and less blobbing.

If anyone has questions about my ideas please let me know I will be more then willing to answer them.
