I propose a new type of conflux. The 'Mind' flux. Basically a floating brain flux, possibly with similar characteristics to the Jellyfish in Jumpgate Classic. It's slow. Has no shields, little armor, and has no weapons, but is the most dangerous conflux there is.

The Brain Flux scrambles radar signals around it, so the only way to get a lock is by looking directly at it and hitting 'target under reticle'.

Also, it can get inside your mind and creates hallucinations. While that beacon you're approaching might look 3k away, you're really about to slam right into it. You might see no conflux near it, but in reality it is escorted by several. Then again, you might see a swarm of flux but in reality there are none.

It's smart too. As soon as it sees you, it will start heading for the nearest anomaly to escape. If it sees you coming after it, it might fly in such a way that you ram into some hidden object, or it could call in other flux (wether real or illusions) for reinforcements to cover it's escape.

Ideas?

Considering the number of pilots who claim to be flying drunk or stoned already, I think this is a REALLY bad idea Tritian...Right up there with me being a Combat Instructor.

not everyone can be expected to understand my genius.

rofl this idea is hilarious.

Still probably too much of an inconvenience for most people to enjoy it so I'm gonna have to disagree, but it's funny as hell!

It would be kickass. I think I'm following you here Trit. Basically if you get "infected" by this flux your screen would go blurry, you'd start seeing ghost images and blips on your radar hud, maybe even start hearing things. For all intents and purposes you'd be combat ineffective until you made it back to a station to dock (if you even make it that far).

It should jam your guns so you can only kill it by ramming.
