So, i was thinking about 1.10, and how that number is actually 1.1 and the zero is extra and about the stuff that came with it. I started to think about using existing things to create new items. I then thought about a shield generator, and went on to think about more things.
So, the shield generator. Basically it would be an enlarged nanohive with a 10m radius that had a certain amount of hit points.
When inside the generator no one could shoot into it, but you can shoot out ( or not) , like star wars episode 1 with the gungans.
The shield would have around 10,000 hp or less/more depending on the level the gear is (10,000 is only 10 proto suits). So instead of the enemy shooting you they have to down the shield. They can do this by either running in and destroying the source like star wars or just taking out the hp. A logi would only be able to carry one of these and it would require the highest bandwidth to use. If your team is cohered and needs some help, drop one around them, place some nano hives to repair/restock, and uplinks to reinforce inside and buy your team some time. But wait!!! The enemy can drop an easily accessible flux OB and take it out. Also, they would be timed, a minute or more depending on the level so that snipers can't place one around them and sit in the redline immune.
Now, i got to thinking about other races. Only the Amarr have a placable equipment that looks like it could be a generator like this. But what would it do? Ill let you think about that.
So, to get past this problem in my head i put the shield generator as Amarr, and a giant cloak field as Caldari. ( Or both Caldari but i didn't want to give the squids to many toys ) So a cloak field variant would be easily visible from up close (imaging the cloak shimmer but 5m tall and 20m wide) and could be used to stage an ambush, rally troops, or stash a vehicle. You wouldn't be able to shoot out of these though and they would make everything inside invisible from all but the best scanners. In addition to being a massive cloak shimmer they would turn your aimer red when your are pointed at it, so simply walk in and ruin the enemies plans. Maybe a combination of this and the shield generator could be a sub variant, cloaked with no scan bonus, a shield from enemy fire but you can't shoot out.
With CCPs new colour tool that they will have for 1.10 they can easily colour these differently.
Now, Minmatar, the last race with placable equipment. They would place an enlarged RE that has an instant (single) nano hive pulse from it in minmatar brown. It would insta heal all armour for people in the radius. Again this would be a one time use thing and use all of a logo's bandwidth. It would heal armour because the rep tool does.
Finally the Gallente, but we only have recently received the scanner for Federation equipment so this is gone.
Also for the future this is my little chart for equipment.
Race Placeable Handheld *x = my idea
Amarr Drop uplink *Scavenging tool (for PVE or after a battle, you scan a body or drone with it to collect its materials)
Caldari Nanohive Injector
Gallente Scanner *Passive scanner (place and provides ok (weaker then active scans) passive scans from an area)
Minmatar Repair tool Remote Explosive
