[idea] POST NEW SHIP IDEAS HERE!!

Post by milo » Sat Feb 17, 2007 4:36 pm

In my opinion there are too many threads about new ship/weapon ideas. This is an effort to consolidate those ideas into one thread. If you post your ideas here I promise to edit them into my next post without editing their content. If you do post your ideas here please try to use the same general format. I plan to update approximately every other day. I have started this thread with 10 ship of my own design. The purpose of submitting a ship design is for peer review and criticism.

---Ship Format---
Creator: “your name here”
Type: “ship name here”
Price: (include any requirements)
Shields:
Primary Weapon: (only include if other than the default)
Scanners: (only include if other than the default)
Cargo Holds:
Equipment Bays:
Max speed:
Turning:
Thrusting:
Energy Regen:
Warp Fuel Efficiency: (include any variations)
Special weapon/ability: “name”
Fired/Activated by: (if necessary)
Energy usage: (if necessary)
Effect: (if necessary)
Limitations/properties: (if necessary)
Sales Pitch: (100 words or less) (if it is longer, I reserve the right to paraphrase it)

***A good ship will:
1.maintain balance of game between; good and evil, beginners and vets, emperors and civilians.
2.not render a preexisting ship obsolete
3.be useful
4.be described concisely and completely

Creator: milo
Type: monitor
Price: 400,000
Shields: 7,000
Cargo Holds:80
Equipment Bays:8
Max speed:
Turning:
Thrusting:
Energy Regen:
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 10
Special weapon/ability: tracking beacon
---Fired/activated by: secondary weapon key
---Energy usage: 500
---Effect: fires a tracking beacon that adheres to the shields of any ship it hits. The beacon allows the owner(player that fired it) to locate the carrier(player who is hit with it). It will also update the owners galaxy map if the carrier travels into a system not previously explored by the owner.
---Limitations/properties: 1. the beacon is lost if the carrier buys a new ship or if at any time the carrier’s shield fall below 500 in number. 2. *to locate a player carrying one of your beacons type: /locate “player name” if they are still carrying the beacon their location will be given, if they are not still carrying the beacon their location will not be displayed. 3. the beacons are small and travel approximately the speed of the explosive charges. 4. the presence of a beacon may be detected using most scanners and would be included in their readout.

Creator: milo
Type: cosmic raider
Price: 700,000
Shields: 9,000
Cargo Holds:90
Equipment Bays:8
Max speed:
Turning:
Thrusting:
Energy Regen: slow
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 12 *does not require full energy to warp or land*
Special weapon/ability: energy dump
---Fired/Activated by: secondary weapon key
---Energy usage: all but no less than 200
---Effect: when fired it dumps all available energy into space. The massive amount of energy released into space causes a tear in space at the location of the dump. The more energy dumped in this way the larger the tear. The tear patches itself with shields that it rips off ships that fly too near. When the tear is fully patched it goes away.
---Limitations/properties: 1. the tear is stationary and occurs at the site of the dump. 2. the total damage dealt by the tear is equal to the amount of energy dumped( 800 energy dumped = 800 total damage dealt). 3. the tear deals short range (half the range of the grav beam) damage at the rate of 100 damage per second. 4. the cosmic raider type ship is immune to damage dealt by tears. 5. n.p.c.’s attack tears like they would mines in space. 6. tears may not be made on planets. 7. tears cannot discern the difference between friends and enemies and so they will harm corp. members. 8. the ammount of tears created in one system is limited to 30. 9. traveling through a tear causes a ship to slow down.

Creator: milo
Type: taxi cab
Price: 160,000
Shields:3,000
Cargo Holds: 40
Equipment Bays: 16
Max speed: slow
Turning: slow
Thrusting: poor
Energy Regen: good
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 9 for normal travel, 12 using special ability
Special weapon/ability: cosmic leap
---Fired/Activated by: clicking on target system in the galaxy map while holding the secondary weapon key down.
---Energy usage: 1,000
---Effect: all ship systems (turning, thrusting, weapons) are shut down for one minute. At the end of the minute the ship warps directly to the targeted system (it acts like an improved version of the /warp command).
---Limitations/properties: 1. target system must be within 30 hops of initial location. 2. may only warp into a system that has been previously explored. 3. the ship is still charger warp fuel at a higher rate of 12 units per hop of conventional travel. 4. artifact bonuses do not apply to the warp fuel consumption calculation.

Type: stealth
Price: 900,000
Shields: 14,000
Cargo Holds:100
Equipment Bays: 4
Max speed:
Turning:
Thrusting:
Energy Regen: fairly slow
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 9
Special weapon/ability: radar jammers
---Fired/Activated by: toggle on/off using secondary weapon key
---Energy usage: it halts energy regeneration until turned off
---Effect: when on; your ship does not appear on other players’ system radar, landing on a planet does not automatically alert the owner of your presence, others arn't allerted when you warp into or out of the system. however, you are not cloaked so if another player flys close enough the will see you on their screen.

Creator: milo
Type: constellation (cruise ship)
Price: 800,000
Shields: 12,000
Cargo Holds: 200 (150 are for passengers only)
Equipment Bays: 8
Max speed: slow
Turning: high
Thrusting: high
Energy Regen: average
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 10
Special weapon/ability: luxury cruise
---Fired/Activated by: always on
---Energy usage: none
---Effect: instead of picking up colonists at the pub for taxi’s when you talk to the patrons there would be a script something like “153 colonist await a round trip cruise to zeta ari” you could then take as many as you could hold on the cruise. The tourists would then pay say 100 credits per hop. You could have round trip cruises and one way cruises. They would pay better than taxiing in most cases but you would not find any 20+ hop cruises.

Creator: milo
Type: ambassador
Price: 55,000
Shields: 1,500
Cargo Holds: 80
Equipment Bays: 4
Max speed: average
Turning: average
Thrusting: average
Energy Regen: average
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 7 *3 between un controlled systems
Special weapon/ability: diplomatic immunity
---Fired/Activated by: always on
---Energy usage: none
---Effect: no experience or rep loss when destroyed
---Limitations/properties: *a player who destroys one of these ships still gets the kill added to their profile stats. 1. uses only3 warp fuel between un controlled systems. 2. cannot go farther than 4 hops from un controlled space. 3. no escape pod so when it is killed it is towed directly to sol at double the normal rate(16 fuel per hop). 4. it cannot invade.
Sales Pitch: a ship just for fun and maybe some high risk meetings ;)

Creator: XI
Type: Sonic Boom
Price: 3mil 10k admiral tokens (maybe a new admiral token ship will earn some cash for the game) 25 colony caps, 100kills, and 1mil xp

releases an explosion from the center of the ship, like a big circle that goes outward (like the size of a large planet...not as big as a gas giant). It does 500dmg depending on how close the enemy is, reduces enemies speed/thrust/turn/energy regen as a stun effect, this only lasts like 6 seconds
Explosion does not dmg your ship, but does dmg your allies a smidge

Pitch: not great for capping cols, but can be very successful if used well in combat, this ship is only recommended for the most skilled pilots, it is basically a suped up IG ship, but is much more difficult to use it's secondary successfully

Turning: 6dps
Thrusting: 6
Energy Regen: 8
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 9gpw
Special weapon/ability: “Solar Probes”
Fired/Activated by: secondary weapon key

Limitations/properties: You may only have 3 probes deployed at once activity recordings must be deleted if not maintained, probes can be destroyed, can not set telemetry recordings. The Thermal Imaging Scanners give you a good look at a planet (like you see the entire planet layout and defence stratagies) aswell as function like ordinary scanners, the scanners use 7 fuel per use.
Sales Pitch: This niffty little ship is loaded with cool gadgets but there's a down side it costs a small fortune, very handy for recon and planning effective invasion stratagies.

---Ship Format---
Creator: Jtak/Death.
Type: Colonial Transport
Price: $500,000

Cargo Holds: 300
Equipment Bays: 10
Max speed:
Turning:

Energy Regen:
Warp Fuel Efficiency: (include any variations)
Special weapon/ability: Militia
Fired/Activated by: (if necessary)
Energy usage: (if necessary)
Effect: (if necessary)
Limitations/properties: (if necessary)
Sales Pitch: (100 words or less) (if it is longer, I reserve the right to paraphrase it) The Colonial Transport is the best all around transport! With 300 cargo hold you can bring more resources and more colonist to your colony faster then eve! With the Militia when attacked the Militia will send a few men over to the enemys ship VIA POD, and kill its shields down to 50%.
------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: Black Star Imperium

Name: Ravager

Type: War cruiser

Price: 4,500,000 (Must have at least -20k rep)

Shields: 18000

Primary Weapon:

Scanners:

Cargo Holds: 130

Equipment Bays:10

Max speed: Same as battle ship

Turning: Same as ISC

Thrusting: Same as Sethdar's

Energy Regen: 10 twps

Warp Fuel Efficiency: 10 Gallons per warp

Special ability: Corruption

Special weapon: "Smiling doom"

Activated by: Pressing Tab and having various resources

Energy usage: 700

Effect of ability: Enables you to recruit colonists at ports without penalty as if you had positive rep.

Effect of special weapon: Fires a steady stream of up to four homing mines that deal 150 points of damage per every round that hits (range is limited to that of a nuke).

Limitations: This craft's corruption makes robbing virtually impossible, and given its Infamy, the UN allows for the extension of the ship's bounty to exceed 25 million credits, dying with bounty on your head, and while this ship was the one you were flying when you got shot down results in an additional 25% loss of exp. And person who shot you down gains 25% more rep than what he/she would normally gain.

Sales Pitch: Possessing the fire power capable of rivaling that of the United Nations' Imperial Starcruiser, this ship is the epitome of Black market technology. It sports a mind control device allowing for recruitment of colonists from ports. (Hence the Un's increasing of the pilot's bounty beyond 25 million credits as the device, and its functions are so hideously frowned upon)

Spaced to allow ease of read.

Energy Regen: medium
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 6
Special weapon/ability: “staller type GX”
Energy usage: 20 per shot
Effect: enemy cant move for 2 - 5 secs when hit
Limitations/properties: good handling but low shields.
Sales Pitch: this baby can outrun even the ISC and leave enemys behind with the staller type GX gun, although there is no equal in speed there is a lack of sheilding.

Cost:$900,000 credits

Althought this seems like a very fast ship, it has one major weakness. It does not have the ability to cap domes. This ship is used mainly as a Solar Distracter. With low shields, you will be hardpressed to get too close to dome to distract solar, but it's speed should keep you from getting hit.

*Phase Cloak: requires constant use of 600 energy. Very much like the cloak on the Avenger, can only be seen with certain scanners, is visible however to solar and other cannons. Being a Phase Cloak though, you would have the ability to fly through the walls on any planet, since you can't cap planets, you still have a significant advantage.

Ship cannot sleep while Phase Cloaked within walls of a planet. Nice try.

Don't fire too many nukes too quickly though. If you run out of energy while inside a wall and you are cloaked, your hull will begin to buckle and you will be ejected from the planet with 50% of your shields gone!

Turning: 40
Thrusting: 40
Energy Regen: 12
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 12
Special weapon/ability: Energy pulse cannon
Fired/Activated by: tab button
Energy usage: all energy
Effect: fires a very fast (like twice as fast as the ISC and IGS) bolt of energy that passes through everything and deals out the same dammage as energy used.
Sales Pitch: The rhinoceros, ir rhino for short, is a very heavy combat ship. it has a very strong hull capable of taking hit after hit and still stand. because of the heavy shielding it consumes a lot of warpfuel and isn't very mobile. The energy pulse cannon the rhino is armed with depletes the ship's energy reserves completely, but is highly devastating, especialy when a lot of energy is used.

A Large UN commission ship whos main use would be to build colonies and defend space. Its big bulk provides a high amount of shields so it can withstand heavy damage when peacefully building but mediocre speed won't escape a pursuing sethdar. The radiation burst is good for defending yourself against near enemies.

Requirements: 10 000 followers and a UN commission
Shields: 18 000
Speed: 8
Turning: 5
Energy Regeneration: 6
Thrust: 4
Hardware bays: 12
Warp Fuel Consumption: 12
Cargo holds: 300
Price: 4 000 000
Special Weapon: Radiation Burst. A medium range, highly damaging radial burst.
Energy used: 500

Reaver



This speedy, sleek and slim pirate ship's main purpose is for intense dogfighting, and group invasions.

Requirements: -1000 rep, available at pirate base

Speed: 10
Turning: 9
Thrust: 9
Energy Regeneration: 10
Hardware bays: 6
Warp Fuel: 10
Cargo: 70
Price: 1 000 000
Special Ability: Hardware Distruptor ==> A medium range Radial burst that steals 1 hardware from all the ships within its viscinity. Is ineffective if hardware slots are full.

Freeside Dreadnaught



A sluggish war vessel about twice the size of a garbage barge, whos main purpose is to take a lot of hits and provide good cover in a large and long group battle.

Is activated by holding down tab. The War cannon needs 35 metal ore an hour to fire. this metal ore is obviously tooken from cargo holds and if there is no metal ore present the solar cannon does not fire.

Andromeda Sun Craft (ASC)



Is only available at Launchpoint Andromeda

A balanced ship with no particular strengths or weaknesses. Is available to people without a UN commission and with more then -1000 rep

Turning: (same as pod)
Thrusting: (Same as pod)
Energy Regen: 10
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 3 gpw
Special weapon/ability: Hyperspace
Fired/Activated by: Open Galaxy Map and choose desired system, then press tab.
Effect: takes you to the desired system, which must be at a distance of a max of 10 hops, and takes 50 warp fuel, no matter your wisdom or any modifiers.
Sales Pitch: The Space Beetle made by WolksVagen is designed for economic travel around space, although it's not quite safe, it's the best thing you'll ever find if you use too much fuel.

Thrusting: 9
Energy Regen: 8
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 8
Special weapon/ability: gattling laser (auto aiming)
Fired/Activated by: user selectable key press
Energy usage: 10/shot
Effect: a rapid firing laser cannon that requires no aiming by the pilot (it would aim in the same way as the solar cannon), each "bullet" does 10 damage and requires 10 energy. fire rate would be approx. 10shots/sec. it would have a medium range a little farther than the exp charges.
Sales Pitch: a decent ship for beginners who can't yet afford a top class ship. decent weapon for warding off npc's but not tough enough to take on anything as good as a battle ship. also a nice ship for manuvering

Creator: nessus
Type: Gravcap
Price: 5.5 million, rank of Major
Shields: 25000 (see pitch)
Primary Weapon: Graviton
Scanners:
Cargo Holds: 150
Equipment Bays: 10
Max speed: average
Turning: average
Thrusting: high
Energy Regen: fast (see pitch)
Warp Fuel Efficiency: (see pitch)
Special weapon/ability: ultra high delta V with acceleration compensation
Fired/Activated by: Tab + throttle
Energy usage: high when shields are above 15k, medium when shields are 10-15k, non-functional when shields are below 10k
Effect: able to escape a black hole
Limitations/properties: if energy level goes to zero before escaping the black hole, it becomes a normal black hole warp jump
Overview:
The shield system in this ship is actually a graviton storage/release system (capacitor),
The shield energy level is replenished by diving into a black hole.
Shields are drained by:
- Graviton beam usage (2 shields/sec)
- bouncing off a planet, star or warp hole (4 shields/bounce)
- energy goes to zero (10 shields)
Ship energy scales up quickly if shields are above 10k
If the shield level is over 10k when going into a hole, the special feature can be used to climb out, otherwise it's a normal black hole jump.

Unlimited graviton beam while shields are above 15k; however, use of the graviton reduces shields. Negs and nuke launches deplete energy as normal,
and if energy goes to zero, a large percentage of the stored energy is released. The net effect of this is a large lowering of shields.

While the graviton is being used, shield strength fluctuates (but returns to a normalised level when the beam is turned off) - this results
in brief periods of vulnerability during battle.

Warp fuel efficiency is affected by shield levels (greater than 15k = high usage, 10-15k = medium usage, less than 10k = low usage)
Sales Pitch:
This ship is able to accumulate and store gravitons (the particles associated with gravity). Monstrous shield strength is a
side effect of this storage. However, all special functions of the ship draw on ther shields for energy; the graviton beam weaponry and the
special ability to escape from a black hole both draw on the shields, as does the ships regular energy usage. On the plus side, graviton
beam usage is of unlimited duration while shield strength is above 10k.

Limitations/properties: range slightly shorter than that of exp charges, however it is not destroyed when it hit a ship or laser but rather passes through them doing damage until it hits a wall, planet or reaches it's max range.
Sales Pitch: just another shiny new ship for that anterean at sol to hassel you about.

[milo's comment] perhaps instead of being an exact mirror of the isc make it's special weapon like a grav beam that does more damage but has a shorter range. that way you 'd buy fusions as a primary weapon. it would be interesting then to see space battles between the two ships [end of comment]

Sales Pitch: A good compliment to the corporate flagship, this transport is designed to be a civilian merchant cruiser. Outdated Gauss Cannons installed on the ship only provide light support fire due to the short range.

Looks like corporate flagship except with one large engine (speedstar size).

A nice average ship with 16 hardware slots. Laughing

Effect: The support Shield generates an impenetrable wall around the ship creating a protected space large enough to protect a small fleet. While an enemy ship can enter the the wall and fight inside unhindered it protects from any long-medium range attacks. When activated the Sacrifice's shields slowly drop and its weapons are disabled.

Fired/Activated by: TAB (default)
Energy usage: 1000
Effect: Must have medicine on board for this to work. Fires a beam on any ship, friend or foe. 200 meds on board the Healer will fully heal any ship.
Limitations/properties: Said ship may only be healed once per 10 minutes
Sales Pitch: Made specifically for those invaders who would like to hire a Healer for when they are invading far from a port. I can't tell you how many times I've invaded a planet before that had it's closest port 8-9 hops away. Waiting 10 minutes between healings leaves an even balance between slowing down the amount of time it takes to invade yet allowing the ship that is waiting to be healed will wait rather than use warp fuel to make the trip to the port. An 8 hop trip to a port and back could cost as much as 176 warp fuel in a battleship. This may not be great waiting time for a solo invader, but when invading in large groups, this could be viable.

Good idea Milo. There are a lot of ship ideas out there..You could look back and find hundreds, if not thousands of them.

Some of the best ship ideas i have seen :)
But the nova classes, should maybe have another limit, like 100 kills instead of 100 player kills?

as to mentalbutcher's comment, i wouldn't mind changing the nova class requirement of 100pks to a simple 100kills however before i do change it i would appreciate it if you could explain your reasoning behind the change? i'm just a little curious.

as to .seth's comment; i have thought about limiting thenumber of tears possible in a galaxy, i simply must have forgot to include it in the conditions. your idea about them slowing you down has a lot of merit and i will most likely edit it in. however what would you suggest as a limit to the number of tears in a galaxy. should it be a number or should they have a weight and therefore be limited in the same way as equipment deployed in space? or perhaps another idea


anyways i would like to thank all of you for your complements, they are much appreciated

Creator: XI
Type: Sonic Boom
Price: 3mil 10k admiral tokens (maybe a new admiral token ship will earn some cash for the game) 25 colony caps, 100kills, and 1mil xp
Shields: 18k
Cargo Holds: 100-150
Equiptment Bays: 10
Max speed: 10,000
Turning: 90
Thrust: 900
Energy regen: 9
Warp: 8
special weapon: sonic boom (of course)
Activated by tab
uses 500 energy
releases an explosion from the center of the ship, like a big circle that goes outward (like the size of a large planet...not as big as a gas giant). It does 500dmg depending on how close the enemy is, reduces enemies speed/thrust/turn/energy regen as a stun effect, this only lasts like 6 seconds
Explosion does not dmg your ship, but does dmg your allies a smidge

Pitch: not great for capping cols, but can be very successful if used well in combat, this ship is only recommended for the most skilled pilots, it is basically a suped up IG ship, but is much more difficult to use it's secondary successfully

this is the second sticky i think, but you still have some great ideas for ships. as tux. said, yours are balenced, i have seen quite a few threads about 20k shields barges and the invincible igs and all these thing but almost all of yours are ready for implimentataion..i hope thats a word. But i dont think it would be a good idea to impliment all these right away, 1-3 now, and then possibly more as time goes by, but such a large selection could be overwelming for vets and new users.

stiffler: this thread isn't a sticky, however if people keep posting it might be. as to the other thread, i was not aware at the time of posting that it existed. and yea implemantation is a word but i don't know how to spell it

i also agree that they could not all be implemented at once. i think introducing 2 at a time every 2-3 months would work well. what do you think?

xi: thanks for posting you ship here, i have included it in my second post and if you wish to edit it simply revise your orrigional post in this thread and then pm me and i will requote you. thanks again.

Stickied.

Some really nice ideas here milo, also a good format for others suggesting their own ships.

In order to keep new ship ideas together can everyone put your submissions here rather than anywhere else.

lol, man Dr.demento you can sure squash someones dreams. but thanks for the criticism. (don't actually get enough of it).

as to your comments on the taxi cab
......warp from one system to the other would make it too easy to kill someone if u know what ur doin say someone lands on ur col and is invadin it u would telelport to system wit nukes and mean while there on ur col losein shields second they come out u nuke them to hell they die bad idea...
i thought of this when designing it. so to even things out i gave it only 3k shields which isn't much against a isc, ig, or sethdar even after comming off an invsion. besides doesn't this already happen (mabe not as quick) and usuall when it does you have to run from a ship that has 16k shields instead of 3k. plus if i was invading someone who was online i would have definitly lasers the system i was invading in. if you get podded this way i consider it your fault for being foolish enough to invade someone who is online without taking the necessary precautions. however you still have a point so i am going to adjust the speed turning thrust and energy regen to make the ship a poor fighter. if this still does not satisfy you i may consider making it sit prone in the destination system for an additional minute(but not likely). i orrigionally intended this ship to be used to quickly defend a colony that is far from any starbase.

as to you comments on the stealth
meh use it on a col and u could sit on the col and person not no where u are and they could be invadin and not know ur there and then on there way out u kill them wit nukes by comin out of stealth and would kill the too many noobs would complain...and BBQ to have this one in..
If you haven't noticed i made this comment in my sales pitch
Sales Pitch: actually I think this ship is too good because of it’s abilities however I can’t choose which one to drop.
which you even included in your quote. so i agree with you, but instead of saying 'the ship sucks and it is so stupid', mabe you should help me make it more reasonable by giving me some suggestions on which of the abilities i should drop. i orrigionally intended this ship to be an excellent fighting ship (enough to compete with the isc, ig, seth without over powering any of them) that is available to NEWBS aswell as well established players.

as to your comments on the ambassador. i agree 100%. it would be totally foolish to implement a ship like this, however, i am open to suggestions that would ballence this ship out (mabe something like it has no escape pod and fuel cost for towing to sol is doubled).

anyways thanks for your criticism, and i hope that my comments did not seem overly aggressive and if they did i sincerely appologise.

i welcome all criticism and no fighting in this thread i don't want it to get locked.

the changes you(dr.demento) propose for the stealth are ballenced however i believe that (after i edited out the part about missiles can't lock on) the ship is fairly ballenced and i like it the way it is. it's my design and as long as it is ballanced i feel i have the right to be arbitrary about these things. :lol:

also i am changing the ambassador's limitations to include:
-uses only 3 warp fuel between un controlled systems
-cannot go farther than 4 hops from un controlled space
-no escape pod so when it is killed it is towed directly to sol at double the normal rate. (16 fuel per hop)
-it cannot invade

i am also upping the cargo holds to 80

Whats the use? Toonces will never put any of our ship ideas in. He has to make them exactly how he wants them so there balance and they coordinate with the rest of the game. The most we can do is maybe offer some ship pictures.

think of it this way, if toonces doesn't care about pleasing his players and he never looks at the posts in the reasearch lab (both of which i strongly believe to be false) then why would he even bother to have a place for players to post their ideas? besides most of these ideas i believe are pretty ballanced and if they are not then they are open to ammendment. if toonces even takes the smallest of ideas from any of these posts then they are worth it. and like freakazoid wrote

Creator: “PWN”
Type: “The Survey Ship”
Price: 3,000,000 credits
Shields: 9,000
Primary Weapon:
Scanners: Thermal Imaging Scanners
Cargo Holds: 70
Equipment Bays: 8
Max speed: 8
Turning: 6dps
Thrusting: 6
Energy Regen: 8
Warp Fuel Efficiency: 9gpw
Special weapon/ability: “Solar Probes”
Fired/Activated by: secondary weapon key
Energy usage: 500
Effect: These probes stay in the system floating around unaffected by any gravity and they are invisable to all scanners except other survey ship scanners, they provide a watchful eye that warns you of any activity the system just like if you were there in the system with them you can even veiw telemetrey from the probe and set recording for when ur offline.
Limitations/properties: You may only have 3 probes deployed at once activity recordings must be deleted if not maintained, probes can be destroyed, can not set telemetry recordings. The Thermal Imaging Scanners give you a good look at a planet (like you see the entire planet layout and defence stratagies) aswell as function like ordinary scanners, the scanners use 7 fuel per use.
Sales Pitch: This niffty little ship is loaded with cool gadgets but there's a down side it costs a small fortune, very handy for recon and planning effective invasion stratagies.

also, about the energy dump weapon from the cosmic raider, i'm kinda curious, would they be allowed to be dumped right on a warp hole, or wud they be similar to other deployed weapons, and cannot be placed right at the warphole?

How would the Monitor's tracking beacon work? would it just give thier location(i.e. the system, or planet, or port they're in) or wud it actually give you a readout on system information, like whos in that system, how much wieght is in the system, etc

---Ship Format---
Creator: Jtak/Death.
Type: Colonial Transport
Price: $500,000
Shields: 5000
Primary Weapon: (only include if other than the default)
Scanners: (only include if other than the default)
Cargo Holds: 300
Equipment Bays: 10
Max speed:
Turning:
Thrusting:
Energy Regen:
Warp Fuel Efficiency: (include any variations)
Special weapon/ability: Militia
Fired/Activated by: (if necessary)
Energy usage: (if necessary)
Effect: (if necessary)
Limitations/properties: (if necessary)
Sales Pitch: (100 words or less) (if it is longer, I reserve the right to paraphrase it) The Colonial Transport is the best all around transport! With 300 cargo hold you can bring more resources and more colonist to your colony faster then eve! With the Militia when attacked the Militia will send a few men over to the enemys ship VIA POD, and kill its shields down to 50%.

as far as coding it goes i don't know
also, about the energy dump weapon from the cosmic raider, i'm kinda curious, would they be allowed to be dumped right on a warp hole, or wud they be similar to other deployed weapons, and cannot be placed right at the warphole?
yes they would be allowed to be "placed" near warps unlike deployed defenses.
How would the Monitor's tracking beacon work? would it just give thier location(i.e. the system, or planet, or port they're in) or wud it actually give you a readout on system information, like whos in that system, how much wieght is in the system, etc
it would list the location(s) similar to how the locations of your corp mates are displayed when you type /c. so it would only give the name of the system they are in. however if they go into a system you have not yet explored you will be able to view that system's stats if you click on it in the galaxy map function.

and jtak please add more specifics to your ship.

Creator: Black Star Imperium

Name: Ravager

Type: War cruiser

Price: 4,500,000 (Must have at least -20k rep)

Shields: 18000

Primary Weapon:

Scanners:

Cargo Holds: 130

Equipment Bays:10

Max speed: Same as battle ship

Turning: Same as ISC

Thrusting: Same as Sethdar's

Energy Regen: 10 twps

Warp Fuel Efficiency: 10 Gallons per warp

Special ability: Corruption

Special weapon: "Smiling doom"

Activated by: Pressing Tab and having various resources

Energy usage: 700

Effect of ability: Enables you to recruit colonists at ports without penalty as if you had positive rep.

Effect of special weapon: Fires a steady stream of up to four homing mines that deal 150 points of damage per every round that hits (range is limited to that of a nuke).

Limitations: This craft's corruption makes robbing virtually impossible, and given its Infamy, the UN allows for the extension of the ship's bounty to exceed 25 million credits, dying with bounty on your head, and while this ship was the one you were flying when you got shot down results in an additional 25% loss of exp. And person who shot you down gains 25% more rep than what he/she would normally gain.

Sales Pitch: Possessing the fire power capable of rivaling that of the United Nations' Imperial Starcruiser, this ship is the epitome of Black market technology. It sports a mind control device allowing for recruitment of colonists from ports. (Hence the Un's increasing of the pilot's bounty beyond 25 million credits as the device, and its functions are so hideously frowned upon)

Spaced to allow ease of read.
