For a short time, all modules on the enemy ship are locked. They can still move but can't shoot or activate modules. Currently active modules are temporarily turned off, or their timers paused

So weapons can't fire, shields go down, barrier turned off, veng/dest/tp timer paused, and new mods cant be used for the duration of this effect. After this effect ends they continue normal operations

This is mainly pvp mod but u can also use in rs, for example stop a bomber from shooting, kill a destroyer without the death aoe, or temporarily turn off phoenix area shield

Since this is kinda op suppress will have a super short duration

I'm also open to making suppress work on only one mod, and u have to choose the mod when activating

Not me unearthing WS trauma

Only will make y'all relive the PTSD for an hour each activation I swear

Make it a miner mod that uses hydro 🤣 (hydro upload) it hacks the user's bs.. since suppress was already a mod

Oops I mean
Maybe if it suppressed a single mod

narrow mango
#

Single mod seems better

#

Imagine suppressing alpha on a tp ship

#

Or cr in a cr fort

#

Or suppressing suppress so it can't suppress another suppress

#

Just like bonding bond while it's bonding bond

#

What would the UX be like to select a mod to suppress?

#

Btw a mod to counter all others sounds ridiculously op and unfun

narrow mango
#

Just temporarily disable its effect/activation

#

Plus I'm guessing it's gonna have a super short duration

#

Like in the ballpark of 2-3 seconds in bls and 1-2 hrs in ws at max level

#

In rs it might be way longer like 20 seconds or smth

#

As for UI I'm guessing u click on the target ship, then u have like the list of mods pop up somewhere, and u select one to suppress

#

And the suppressed mod will maybe have a lock icon or smth similar to indicate its state

#

Or any shield

I'm now being reminded that this is one of those spaghetti on the wall ideas

#

Just suppress them back lol

# tiny quail It was

It only affected weapons and was already so prevalent. Suggesting to extend it to shields/mods is crazy 😄

What about a drone mod? I'm not sure how it could target one enemy could be a tiny tiny au radius but that leads to multiple

#

this suggestion reminds of old hs supress mod it also exists in the past

narrow mango
#

Yes that was the inspiration

#

But the idea would be give suppress more utility by applying it to any module type

#

But vastly decreased range and duration

#

On the order of maybe 5 seconds in bls and an hour in ws at max level

I think a drone mod would be cool though because you can destroy a drone maybe "easier" than a bs
