[Tutorial] Cruise Inhibitors - How do they work?

[sindroms]

1. Introduction

---

The "Cruise Inhibitor Generator" (Event_Commodity_24) is a ''low-tier'' event commodity which, once deployed via Player Request, will spawn a Cruise Inhibitor Generator Platform in the specified location, programmed with the specified IFF. The deployed platform will, once facing a ship hostile to its IFF, generate a disruption field that will instantly incapacitate all ships within the range of 10 000 meters. Mines, Missiles and other ordinances will also be affected during these ''pulses''. The discharge happens once every few seconds, making sure no ship can engage their cruise engines even after the cooldown timer.
The deployed platform is highly resilient to damage, but not invincible and will often take at least one battleship-grade ship to remove efficiently.
Multiple inhibitors may be deployed by the same player at a time.

2. Acquiring the Item

---

The item is purchasable via Scientific Data (50 units) or picked up during PVE events as rewards.

3. Using the Item

---

Once a player has obtained the item, they must submit a Player Request with the following information:

Name of the ship the item(s) are on.
Name of system they are to be deployed in.
Precise coordinates to deploy at (Using the /POS command)
IFF with which to program the inhibitor. Specify HOSTILE IFF if you wish for the generator to target all ships.

4. Rules and Limitations

---

1. The administration team can refuse activating the item if the resulting outcome brings harm to server gameplay. In such cases, the player will be PMed back to make adjustments to their request.
2. Deploying the item must be considered with restraint. You may not, for example, deploy a Liberty Rogue disruptor right in front of Manhattan's docking ring.

5. Questions

Will be answered in this thread.
