Ship perks are powerful abilities (passive or active) that are unlocked by equipping certain modules. Those modules are earned by NPCing, Mission Chain, CTLab, GP, or Medal Achievements. You can only have one perk active on your ship at any given time. A perk can be activated by clicking on Settings in your ship tab and will appear under a new tab labelled Perks. A perk must be active on your ship for 24 hours before its ability takes effect.

Here are some examples:

Inner Focus (Active Ability): Increases attack and defense by a random percentage (1% - 20%, with numbers closer to 1 being more common, and numbers closer to 20 being less common). It lasts 10 minutes and has a cooldown timer of 20 hours.

Inner Peace (Passive Ability): Increases Defense by 30% when not attacked

Hacker Pro (Passive Ability): Increases the chance of counter hacking an enemy.

Disable(Passive Ability): When attacked you have a small chance at uninstalling one enemy module at random

Invader(Passivee Ability): Increases invasion attack by 15%.

General(Passive Ability): Increase Crew member attack from T.O.s by 20%

Strategist(Passive Ability): Increases Base Attack and Base Defense by 20%

Foresight (Passive Ability): When attacking or being attacked you have a small chance at taking little to no damage. This percentage is greater when being attacked by someone stronger

Some abilities are so powerful that they come with drawbacks:

Immunity: Prevents players from using debuffs on your ship and prevents NPC debuffs from being activated on your ship. However while this perkis active you can not have buffs active on your ship.

Any comments? Pitch in ideas if you like.

+0.75

Some of the numbers may need tweaking, but +1 to the concept.

-1, seems like a universal service terminal on steroids

lol word.

seems good, +0.5 for now for concept. Need a little rework (i'm unsure where)

I hope no +scan
or maybe : when scanning enemy ship, your scan power is considered 20% stronger

+15% to invasion attack is way OP, we already have the bane ally +10% along with decimators 7%+7%, and the exotica medal reward 3% (i think)

sounds like skill&perks from World of Tanks, just there are these for the crew.

I am not sure, if a ship could have multiple perks from above listed or only one/limited number.

There is no word about the way, how players would receive such perks.
I see this idea interesting, I would put it in Legion contests as top rewards and/or implants for Captains (if implented).

+0.25
Things needing rework

Inner Peace (Passive Ability): Increases Defense by 30% when not attacked , its too OP , yet makes no sense , when not attacked ? , do you mean : When your not attack ( Defending ) your defence is boosted ?

Invader(Passivee Ability): Increases invasion attack by 15%. ( Passive spelt wrong ) , too OP

General(Passive Ability): Increase Crew member attack from T.O.s by 20% , i just don't understand , T.O's ? what are those ?

Foresight (Passive Ability): When attacking or being attacked you have a small chance at taking little to no damage. This percentage is greater when being attacked by someone stronger : this just pointless , too OP

Plus you have not said how to get these " Ship Perks "

I could see this to go along with all other abilities.
A certain set number to acquire.
Beginner
Novice
Pro
Master

1. You got me on that one

2. T.O. stands for Tactical Officer.

3. Could use some reworking but it does have some use to it

4.

so no limit of them per ship? hm, in case no limit, you would need to decrease the bonus from each significantly.

*facepalm* did you even read the first paragraph?

Hmm. Mento already has 400K+ invasion attack. +15% would blow everything out of proportion.
