Ideas for anti-blinks (mine, scanner, base module) - Mr.Fabulous - 12-19-2012
While reading THIS, it got me thinking: there sure wasn't much defense against blinkers (for my own pleasure, I'll call cloaks blinks, the process of cloaking as blinking, and ships who have cloaks as blinkers) save for the fact there was a cooldown between initialization and activation, and the other fact that shields would be downed. Those are very small windows-of-opportunity, in my opinion, so I was hoping of giving a more decisive game-changer.
I have 3 ideas that can potentially help balance out blinks:
1.) a new type of mine-dropper that drops special "scanner"-mines to reveal the silhouettes of blinkers for the dropper alone to see within varying click-radii, but EATS UP A LOT OF ENERGY, and can only be deployed when at most moving at 10 meters (meaning he's more or less stationary)
2.) a new type of scanner that allows the equipped ship alone to see the silhouette of blinkers, but at the drawback of only having EXTREMELY-INFERIOR cargo- and normal-scan range (like at most only 2K, 500 meters for the least, mwahahahah). in addition, THEY HAVE TO BE ACTIVATED AND USE UP FUEL JUST LIKE BLINKS, HAHAHAHAHAH.
3.) a new base module that works like shields: when activated, eats up fuel like crazy... but in exchange, the base will TURN OFF AND DENY ALL BLINKERS FROM BEING ABLE TO BLINK, MWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHH!!!
So! What do you guys think? I'll leave the details for later, mostly because... well... it's 12 in the morning as I type this, and I'm starting to facekeyboard.

Why are there now 3 threads for just slightly different ideas about the same thing?
