This will not happen anytime soon.

Defenders need an advantage. The active scanner is the beginning.

In future, things may be a little less assault centric. Things may be on a different level, with new equipment like cloaks and jet/jump packs. Items like these would revolutionise attacking a point, allowing an attack to come anytime and anywhere, they would soon be declared OP and nerfed.

Unless they had a perfect counter.

My ideas:

Deployable disruptors - equipment that can be placed, large, 100m+ radius. Depending on tier, they will lower the effectiveness of an enemies cloaks and jet packs, eg from 5s to 3s invisibility. They will be destroyable and hackable, having a large number of HP ( for equipment).

The installation equivelent of this (for when we can call down installations) - having control of these will make items like jet/jump pack and cloak unusable while in its radius. Higher Hp than other installations, no offensive capabilities.

Active jammer - A variant of the active scanner. Lock onto enemies, then limit their abilities to use the above items for a short time.


It's all about area denial. It would allow CCP to add more powerful types if equipment (as above) without it dominating the game.

I would like a device that disrupts electronic equipment within a certain radius. so enemy uplinks/repair guns/scanners/nanohives are rendered ineffective within the certain radius.....i really hate uplink spammers
